New YoRK, Feb. %, 1916.
The thermometer this morning, at o'clock, stood
at 70 above zero-that is in the upper part Of the
city. In Wall street. at the same time, it was noted
to stand at 3d. II seems there is four degrees DIFF
ference between the temperature of the upper end Of
the city and Wall street. The thermometer at Nor
rs's in the latter street, is hung in low place and
is surrounded by high buildings. At Wstervleit and
other points high up the Hudson as well az at many
places in New England, the mercury yesterday
morning stood at go below zero; and THE morning
It must have gone down 50 or 60 still lower. Our
accounts from the interior towards the lakes contin-
ue TO represent the snow-storm Of Friday and Sat.
urday OF last week as very severe attended with a
prodigious fall Of snow, which, combined with that
previously the ground, has increased it's depth 10
many places TO 4 and feet. In the narrow streets
Of the city it became necessary to employ aborers
with carts and horses, to carry of the snow, as to
render them passable.
