TIKHTILY, January 24th. The phenomens! state of the weather to which I alloded is my last milil conlane, and con- argently the doctor's hands are full. As I write It is so balmy and mild that it would be pleasant to it with the window open and bantah üres. But the knowledge that in spite of seductive sunshine and Italian skies such a proceeding would assuredly be attended with violent con sequences if not sudden death, restrains one, Some persons are attributing this" vousurl state of affairs to the eclipse of Saturday, sibers to the approach of the Comet due hare some- time next year I believe. But whatever the cause I hope we may have some dust storms and a sharp nip seon Jait to put on in stock with Ice for the summer.

There can be no doubt that during the sommer we are left in a very doprotected posilon, and that in case of emergency from ricts, which in this country are always, so to speak, as probable as possible, an organized resisting body might be very useful. But, on the other hand, it is very doubtful whether, if the net lements were actually attacked, we should fight a bit botter or more effectually In dalence of our families and property for being "Tolnaicera * than we should as plain civilians. Still, no harm to done it is doesn't make us fight worse, and the fact of belog prepared may obviate all iktiboed of our being required. The commander of the Raffier presided at the meeting, and had much to say on the subject of machian guns, which as everyone knows would be the very best thing for us to have. Bot
