COLD WEATHER.-Yesterday, the weather,
already bracing, took 4 sudden twist towards
the frigid, and last night, it seems TO be gener-
ally conceded, was the coolest experienced for
many years. AT O'Clock this morning the
thermometer stood at 3 degrees below zero.
According TO the observations OF some shiyer-
ing observers, ii was in the course of the night
as low as 10 degrees below zero.
Al Franklin & Co.'S tine thermometer ranged.
Saturday, 10 O'Clock p. m. % above zero; Sun
day, 10 O'Clock p. m, At above zero; Monday,
o clock a. m, : above zero. 10 o'clock a. m, 10
above zero; - m, 20 above zero.
Ice naturally formed rapidly through the
night, and was six inches thick at many poin Is
this morning, allowing fine field for the
operations of the Ice dealers to lay in n supply
OF pure "Boston Ice" The freeze has of course
laid an embargo on river navigation, and per-
sons who desire can skate down to Alexandria
in lieu of going per steamer. As far as the eve
can reach down river or up ii is a glistening
sheet OF ice. Very few persons are on the
street to-day, and business is below zero as
well as the mercury

THAT HAmMER.

Yesterday afternoon a man was seen
running down stairs from one of our up
stair saloons, just before him was a ham
mer and In advance of the hammer an
other man was flying into the street The
hammer missed the man and struck q
boy, who gave a yell and darted against
Dutch woman, who was carrying basket
of eggs IN one hand and jug of molasses
in the other, knocked her down and land
ed her upon the eggs, while the jug few
from her hand and striking the pavement
spread its contents over the walk A
man, running along with his hands in
his pockets, stepped into the molasses
and his feet flying from under him he fell
on the woman, who gave a yell which
frightened a team of horses that were
standing near, aud they broke loose and
ran up street, demolishing the wagon aud
scattering its contents on the pavement.
The question is, who threw the hammer,
and is he responsible for the subsequent
chapter of misunderstanding Reg,

words of his little evening prayer, Nov
