"COld Friday"

No doubt many of our readers who
were reared in New England, recol-
lect some thing of, or have heard their
friends speak of, the "cold Friday"
which occurred there forty-sevcn years
ago. A writer to the Boston Travel
Ter communicates the following par
ticulars
The storm of Sunday night and Mon
day reminded me, as it probably did
some others, of January 10, 1910. My
father, then living in the interior of
New Hampshire, kept a journal, in
which find the following entry -
"The weather had been very moder-
ate, and the ground much bare, till
the evening of the 18th, when, about
nine o'clock, the wind shifted from
S.W. to N.N.W., and it was SO very
strong that it tore down many build
ings and unroofcd many others. Fri,
day, the 10th, was 50 extremely cold
that many people were badly frozen
while attending to their cattle at their
barns. AT and near the seaports many
were frozen to DEATH
Though l was then quite young,
we'll remember that cold Friday
Nine of us, old and young, were group
cd near huge fireplace in which
was consumed that day more than q
cord of hard wood. The old "scttle ,
was drawn near to the fire, and occu
pied by six. Crevices about the doors
and windows were carefully caulked
Overcoats and shawls were worn in
doors. My father attempted to write
but the ink froze in his pen, and in the
inkstand. We were in constant APP
prchension that the house would yielc
before the gale, and be swept from it,
foundations. 1t was day of boil
physical and mental suffering n,
human being passed in either direc
ton. The district school of forty
scholars had not single attendant
The ground cracked with a jarring re
port. Ina brawlilg stream that passe,
near, the anchor-icc" so formed OF
the stony bottom, as to turn the whole
current out Of it's channel ThougI
the violence of the wind abatcd, we
the cold continued till the 23d, wher
for the first time, people could wit
; any comfort venture abroad.
6 When, the next week, the "pos
rider" came along from Concord, h
had many tale of woe to relate, an
1, the paper which he brought along wa
filled with accounts of suffering an
death For long period the fresid
stories related to the cold Friday"

The Maquokcta Excelsior, abiding
to the inclination of some of the mem.
bcrs of the Constitutional Convention
to remove their place of meeting from
Iowa City, says: There is no i'm.
propriety in the Convention accepting
the proffered Inequalities of either
Dubuque or Davenport, and no legal
or constitutional barrier exists. Iowa
City deserves to be snubbed little,
for she has treated the general Assem-
bly, very stability" 1t is said that it
costs the members more to live in
Iowa City than the amount of pay
they receive.
