TEMPERATURE.

The mean temperature for the month, as taken from the Signal Service reports, at all stations east of the Rocky Mountains is higher, from 1° to 10°, than the same for last year, except for Jacksonville and Key West, Florida, which is slightly lower, at latter 1°5′. By comparing same of this year with that for a number of years at the same stations, or at others close by, it is observed that the former is from 1° to 5° lower over the Southern, Middle and New England States, Ohio and southern portions of Michigan, Illinois and Missouri, but northwest of this region to Minnesota, Iowa and Nebraska it varies from 4° above to 5° below. During the month the weather has therefore been generally colder than usual, but warmer than March of last year, except in Utah, where it has been somewhat colder this than last, and at San Francisco, where there has apparently not been any change.
