WINDY MARCH HAS BLOWN OUT.

On© more wet and windy March has blown itself into the irrevocable past. Of cours.e there was a good deal of weather during the month, and in fact every day had something doing, and without weather it wouldn’t have been March, but for all that it was one of the tiuest months of the name ever exptrierc ed here, and far indeed from being the period of wild storms and sud- I den and severe changes predicted by the long range faka pro>phet£Zll Data for its average temperature as compared with other Marches, are not at present available, but it was no doubt one of th£ warmest ever experienced here, and is known to have had one period of heat which broke all records ever kept, and for more than 35 yeare, at least. It was also the wettest March on record here, and had the wettest March day, as well as the hottest. The hottest was 85i de grees, on the 23rd and the wettest 3.07 inches, on the 27th. In all there were 5.37 inches of precipitation during the month. There was only one snow storm, but that was a; big one, on the 14th, with 7 inches of snow, being the biggest snow-storm of the winter. Thera was more thunder and lightning than March is ever remembered to have [handed out before, there having been thunder storms on five different days. There were 11 stormy days during the month, and 10 that were e'ear, 9 partly clear, 11 cloudy, and one not recorded.
