Tho Boston Advertiser has prepared an
Interring meteorolglcal table, showing a
complete picture of the past winter over the
ntirj northern teotloo of the United States
from Forleod, Maine, to Portland, Oregon.
Tbe date and figure thus tabulated show
many important at well at soma curious rn
suits. Tber are;three marked divisions of
Climate between the Allantlo and the Pacld
lung the bell of country over which tbe obr
ervations extend. Tbe first division em
brace! tbe region from-Maine to Misslsslp
pi, and Is termed the seotlon of deep snows.
Goiug westward' there Is a rapid dlmlnu

more than one.fonrtb of the ' amount at
Maine. Tbe boundary between the region
of anow-tnd a region comparatively snow

ippl river Id Minnesota From this point
to the Rooky mountains, across Dakota and
Mootaoa, a distance of about ulna hundred
miles, the deposition' of nfblsture during the
Whole winter was less than that of a siugle
atorm in January between Lake Michigan
and tbe Atlantic. Tbls may therefore, be
termed the eoowlesa region. The third
oil mate division It west or tbe Rocky moun
tains, in which region, at well at east of Ibe
Mississippi, there It a great deposition ol
moisture, while the vast intermediate re
flan, Including tbe basin of . tbe Missouri,
tin Yellowstone and ibe tributaries, and all
tbe region ooribwatd to the Saskatchewan
nd beyond, bat a winter atmosphere so de
void of moisture and Iree Irom clouds, and
o healthful, invigorating and electric, that
It may be laid to baye a distlnot and separ
ate climate. The general average of tem
perature It lower west than east of ibe
illsBlrslppl. The progression cf the tea

three sections. In many parte of New
Eugla'd, in Central and Northern New
York and in Canada tba grouod wai cove

awing their cropt early in March; by - Ibe
middle ol tbe month tbe prairlet b ing olad

Among tbe matt lamentable evils of our
day Is the notion tkatan establishment is
necessary to matrimonial happiness. Girts
refuse tbe best kind of "off rs." b-ciuse the
proposers have not enough dolhrs to set up
la stylo. The best young men refrain from
matrimony because the girl of the period
demards an establishment. And those
really aiUc'ied to each other, and who
heartily wiib the union, postpone tbe mar
riage day until one or both become rich.
Tffe other day In Philadelphia, on the
morning of a proposed wtdding that bad
been postponed thirteen years, tbe expect
ant groom put a bullet through hU brain.
Mr. Pettlt had been engaged to a Miss
Staley thirteen years, Ihut the lady, waiting
for a rich uocle to die, she not being will
ing to m.rry until both bad secured for
tunes, would not consent to tbe snirriage.
The rich uncle bulk on as long as he could)
but finally succumbed to the inevitable a
few months since, leaving Miss Staley her
long looked for fortune, and rx'ensive prep,
araiions were uinda for tho nuptials wbch
were lo come off in a fasliionabu church
with great parade and circumstances. A
trip to Europe was to be tbe bridal tour ond
passage bad been secured, fot now tbe lor
tunea had come and they coul 1 b happy.
At noon Ibey were to be married and at
seven o'clock the groom committed suicide,
and the poor woman had not even the mel
ancholy satisfaction ot being a rich widow
alter wailing thirteen years to become a
stylish brido.
