A collection of working people and their friends assembled
upon the upper floor in the aft moon, and after tea the
chair was taken by Mr. R. N. Philips, whose entrance with
Mrs. Philips the Misses Philips, and Sir J. P. Kay-Shut-
tieworth (who is their guest), was the signal for hearty
cheering from the one or two thousand persons present.
Mr. Philips, in his opening touts, made energetic speeches,
which were warmly received.
THE 'IVIIATEIZE IN THE NORTH.—Winter set in
lin earnest on New Year's-day in the northcastern counties.
The air was intensely cold, and the frost was very keen.
Most of the ponds and small sheets of water in Northam-
! berland were covered with ice on Monday ; sod, Si that day
I was a general holiday in the north, troops of skaters from
the large towns were out in the country soloyiag that
I manly exercise. Snow was Willi in heavy showers on
Monday night. The few of the country was covered with
a white mantle, and there was every appeaiume that there
would be a heavy fell of snow before morning On Sunday
night the lowest temperature registered at Melton was 24
degrees, aid at Wilburn, 23 degrees. This is the lowest
register this winter, Gaunt for a solitary night last month
(the 18th of December), when 22 degrees were marked.
