for February, and as we expect the
average temperature of the month will

precipitation will come as rain.
Consequently, when , we giro (as
probabilities heavy rainfalls, ,wo
must of necessity add "floods" in many
sections -of the United States through
which a I long drought has been ex

on the other hand, will again be full of
snow storms and cold "dips," and alto
gether a very wintry month. As we
have elsewhcro stated, the March
storms this year are likely to be snow
blockades'. February and April thisl
year will be full of water.' March and
May full of cold and snow.

Birthday Dinner.
Ed itok Review. ,
Iist Friday (the 26th inst), as has
h'een the custom lor a number of year?.
f we celebrated the 87th anniversary-of I
Mrs. Nellie Hand's birth.
For the past fifteen years your cor
respondent has been a regular guest.
What source ol pleasant gratification
it has always been and is to I me to be
considered a friend to such a woman,
can be better imagined than expresed
especially those who know tne purity,
and saintliness-of the - subject of this
sketch.- It is always an elevation to
be in her presence. Twelve months
a?o her dinner was given by Mr. Sam.
Hand, at Burgaw. This year it was
triven at Mr. Juo. Hand's, at llocky
Point. She has four sons, and one
il.in?hter. all ot whom vio iwith each
other as to who can do; tho most for
her, and as to whose time it win do
next every one wants to give it. This
time, as I have told you, it fell to the
tot Ol iiir. tj no. ixayu. iuc
vjas cloudy, murky and rainy, but as
iiio f.Wk Ktrnck twelve all nature
seemed ready and willing to aid in thej
ceicorauon i a riu
day, and by the time dinner was an
nounced tho sun shone brightly, and
the heavens cast off the gloom so thick
for the past several days. As the five
children, preceded by their mother and
followed by. their guests, entered the
dining rom, a cloud of sadness was on
every countenance. They saw a chair
covered with mourning which showed
it to be a vacant chair. Yes. her young-ost-rljmnrhter
was no more. Since the
last celebration Mrs. iMartha Williams
has passed over the river. Her lour
little children werethere as her repre
sentatives. ' Alter comments and good
advice from the good old mother, sad
ness gave way to toasts and good feel-
inVell,'Mr. Editor, as you are a lover
of good things, both to eat and drink,
et meUell you -that I wish you had
aeon there, and if you ever gefan invi
tation to attend a dinner where Mrs.
John Hand presides, you goj for such a
dinner I have not often seen ; and such
good feeling I never saw exist any
where, i May our good old mother and
friend livo to enjoy many more sucn
days and I be fortunate enough to be
present, is the wish ol her -
I Friend.
