Hick's Weather Forecast. Prof. Hicks, the weather prophet, offers no encouragement for the next tw'o months, to the people who are averse to seeing winter linger in the lap of spring. He predicts that the months of March and April will prove exceptionally stormy, wet and cold. The Equinox of Venus falls in the middle of April, instead of the middle ,of May, as was the case last spring. These facts indicate a battle of cold rain, and snow will fall in the months of March, April and the early part of May, instead of lasting through May and into J une as we had last year. ■ Do yon lack faith and love health? i Let us establish your failh and restore your health with DeWitt’s Sarsaparilla.
