St. John's Wood.
_Lady Day in Harvest_ (Vol. vi., p. 589.).--The _Gotha Almanac_ gives Aug.
15 for Maria Himmelfahrt, or the Assumption; and Sept. 8 for Maria Geburt,
or the Nativity. I happened to be going up the Rigi last year on the 5th
August, and found that to be the day of pilgrimage to Mary zum Schnee, or
Notre Dame des Neiges, who has a chapel which is passed in the ascent.
