Cold WEATHER.-On Thursday, Friday
and Saturday Of last week was experienced
the coolest weather that has been known in
Minnesota for many years past-some say
for six, some thirteen years. By the
record 1t will be seen that the mer-
curry fell as low as 430 below zero. Noses,
ears, fingers and toes were in some instan-
ces frozen, but we have learned of nothing
more serious. It has since moderated and
is now quite comfortable.

MODEL ScfooL ExAM1NER-Wheut the
delegation from this place to the Teachers
1niti:ute were en- the route, they stopped
at the house Of the school examiner FOR one
of the districts in this county, as one of
their number wished to secure = certificate
to teach. Alter seeing the functionary
they made application, in spirit of fun,
for certificates for the entire delegation,
some half dozen. lie proceeded to exam
inc the real applicant, and taking down a
Bible asked her to read Complying with
the request the Young lady read several
verses, when the Examiner closed the
book and said that chat would DO" The
others suggested that he had better ask
some questions in geography, grammar and
arithmetic, but he us,erly refused, declur-
ing that she 'knew more than lie did," and
proceeded to make out certificates for the
entire party on the strength of the young
lady's superior knowledge. This is tact,
though not very crcditable one. More
care should be taken in appointing exam
liners.

New YEAR's.-Although New Years day
was the coolest that has been knovn in six
years, yet it was enjoyed, apparently by
all. With The mercury firm at thirty be-
low, and the sun shining brighter than ev-
''sr, as though receiving an additional polish
fEom the hard friction Of the atmosphere,
gentlemen made their. calls and were az
smilingly received as though the zephyrs
without had borne the fragrance of roses.
The CAplrAL.-As the policy of remov-
ing the capital Of the nation from Wash
!ngton to- some other point is being pretty
generally discussed, we would modcstly
suggest st.. Cloud as suitable location
The only drawback is, that having 20 many
congressman here nigh. introduce bad
habits into our city. .,'"''-5. f5'A - .
