The weather for the past few days intensely
cold On Monday the mercury, Mt 10 A. NJ, WAS IA deg.
below zero and Tuesday at early hour the thor
mometer % degrees below The winter Of 1915 has
been noted as the severest winter Kentucky expe
rence but the weather. the la 1T few days has been
much colder than the famous December OF that year
The OF Sunday fell to the depth OF two feet Afford
ing excellent sleghing, but preventing the progress Of
the the Louisville and Lexington Railroad Such
deep unusual in this latitude. Snow fell 10
considerable depth In this section in the winter Of 1882
but for nearly twenty years the snow has but barely
covered the ground. The Kentucky river is tightly
closed, and the Ohio from Louisville to fersonvile,.
Indiana is icy bridge, and crowded With pedestrians
The Leei lature has adjourned, and Frankfort Is as
quiet and dull usual 1t is somewhat strange that
Kentuckans should have pit shed upon Frankfort for the
seat Of government 1t is to be prettly located,
but very inconvenisnt OF access The population Is
racey two thousand and the inha btants very far
being enterprsing The place boast Of but two
hotels and neither OF these pretend have superior
Communications for besbt. We did hope that tho
last Legislature would have by strong vote moved the

after every trHing snow stcIm, the locomotive is
housed up and should the rails be slightly iced, it 10
