January. Very windy, moist, and mild; the barometer never higher than 30,28 inches, and the thermometer never lower than 35 degrees.-February. Milder than last month, but equally moist, though much less rain.-March. Colder than January, and equally as moist.-April. Cold to the 17th, with frequent sleet or snow from the 11th to the 15th; the remainder mild and moist, but very little rain.-May. The 13th and 14th uncommonly moist, with a gentle cast wind; the rest of the month fine, but the morn ings cold.-June. Seasonable.-July. Exceedingly rainy after the 10th, and two thunder storms. On the 10th between nine and ten at night there was lightning in the west; and at the same time sparks of fire were frequently emitted from the stagnant water in the kennels of St. Paul's Churchyard and Cheapside, and on the water being moved with a stick the sparks were numerous, resembling those struck with a flint and steel.-August. Showery, and two severe thunder storms. Corn harvest rather late, and not deemed to be three-fourths of an average crop.-September. Seasonable.-October. Fine, and very httle rain, except on the 21st and 22d; on the latter day the barometer was at 28,86 at two in the afternoon, and at the same hour on the next day at 30,04, which was a rise of nearly one inch and a quarter in twenty-four hours.-November. Much gentle rain in the latter half, and the barometer very unsteady, rising and falling frequently in the same day; but the whole month was unusually mild; the thermometer never was so low as 40 degrees, except on four mornings, and its mean state was nearly 50, that the mean heat of this month was above four degrees more than that of April. December. Moie uniformly rainy and mild than the last month, and the mean heat not quite a degree less; the thermometer never was so low as 41 degrees. This year is remarkable for March being the coldest month; for the great quantity of rain in July, which was nearly equal to all that fell in the six preceding months; and for the extraordinary mildness and moisture of November and December. The coldest day was the 13th of March, and the hottest the 10th of June; that in less than three months the thermometer was at its two extremes, 27 and 80 degrees.
