Degrees Above Zero.
January, 1873, will probably live long In the
minds OF New Workers as having been month of
incessant severe weather. Snowfall has succeeded
snowfall until a lew yards OF clear sidewalk has
become novelty to the eye, and pedestrians who
never learned to skate in their youth have come to
regret that that branch of their education was
neglected. Happy the individual who can boast
that he has not slipped up on the sidewalk this
Winter, though he would be no more believed than
Baron Munchausen. On Tuesday it seemed prob
able that the weather was going to be milder, but
shortly before midnight the wind came sweeping
in itiu gusts up the avenues and streets,
freezing with its very breath everything
that it touched. From six O'Clock to nine yester-
three degrees above Zero and everybody bound Tor
business suffered severely in consequence The
street cars we're heavily laden, for few dared to
face the rigid blast. The cabins on the ferryboats
were crowded and the yart.s of the shipping were
covered with glittering icices Even the sun could
not warm the atm0srs>re with his bright rays, and
at high noon the mercury stood at five degrees.
Towards evening the weather became milder and
the cutting wind decreased in violence, but every
one agreed and meteorological records prove that
