A New York telegram says : A consulta- tion was held to-day by Dr. Turner, of No. 7 Broadway, and two of bis colleagues at tbe Stevens House, to sxattioe the band. arm and leg of Captain John Ken, of Lon- don. England, a native of Edinburgh, Scotland, wbo was itung by a tarantula, or giant spider, while asleep at tbe Koropa Hotel, in Havana, five weeks ago. Already be has undergone one surgical operation, oausing him the loss of two fingers on hi* right hand, and it is thought that it will be necessary to amputate tbe hand above tbe wrist. It is popnlaily thought in Cuba tbat the sting of this spider can be cured by a specie* of weird music tbat is performed by tbe old laves. Captain Kerr said to-day tbat be was in a hospital at Havana twelve days, and when be was discharged was told tbat all danger from tbe bite was passed. Tbe doctor is of opinion that the bite is tbat of tbe tarantula. THS weather of the immediate future is now tbe absorbing topic. According to a reliable meteorologist, tbe interruptions to tbe march of temperature from this time to tbe second week of May are due to tbe 'Sanges of atmospheric pressure produced by increased sun beat within the Arctic Circle. While we are liable at any time HOST to have a touch of tbs so-called second winter, ' with light frosts north of the 40th parallel, the most marked devia- tions from mean vernal temperature are not likely to occur until after the close of this month. It will be will to point out, especially for the benefit of farmers and hor- ticulturists, that any cold waves severe enough to bring damaging fronts during the next three weeks will probably follow in the rear of large and deep cyclonic depressions. In rural districts not reached by the dily weather reports the wine course is to look out for frosty waves a day behind tbe MO- lent spring storms attended by heavy rains. Deep depressions crossing the northern Factions of tbe country do not invariably induce tbe outflow of cold air from the high latitudes. But observation shows that snob is frequently tbe oae, so that in tbe absence of better indications the large depression should prudentially be viewed as the precursor of a decided fall to the thermometer.
