The weather, as a topic of conversation, is dreary, and should be avoided. As a subject for correspondence it should be tabooed. And yet there is no rule with out an exception ; so that it may be here remarked that the weather is so strange that a reference to it is unavoidable. The hailstorm which wrought considerable havoc amid flowers, vegetables, and fruits in the N.E. Valley was more remarkable for its local nature. This could be plainly seen the following morning. On Signal Hill, the white line was drawn with mathe matical accuracy. On the highest 300 or 400 ft of the hill not a vestige was to be seen. Then came a coating several inches in thickness. The storm appears to have ended in the Valley. On Pine Hill, on the opposite side to Signal Hill, and con siderably higher, no sign of hail could be seen, nor was there a trace on Mount Cargill, a still higher range. Since that storm we have been visited by a downpour of rain, which produced a flood, and in sufferably hot and muggy weather has followed a downpour each morning, while about midnight there have been slight touches of frost. Surely the pole must be shifting northwards.
