THE COLD IN NEW JERSEY.
Thermometers All Through the State
Falling Far Below Zero.


Falling Far Below Zero.
No one living in the northern part OF New Jersey
can remember having experienced such weather
in that portion Of the State as existed on Wednes-
day night. The coolest part of the night was be-
tween midnight and morning, and the very
lowest figures touched by the thermome-
ter was at one O'Clock yesterday MORN
ing. At that hour 1t stood as follows:-'
On Totowa Hill, Paterson, q short distance
from the Passaic Falls 30 degrees below zero; In
Newark, % degrees below; at Lakevlew. in the
Fourth ward, % degrees below at riverside, Third
ward, "a degrees below. In the low, business part
stood at from 20 degrees to 22 degrees below zero.
Two thermometers hung from the same tree In
Harrison street, Passaic village, both registered
32 degrees below zero. At Midland Park, Allendae,
% degrees was reached. The coIdest place heard
from was at Bl0omingdale, N. j., on the Md
land Railroad, where, at seven o'clock A.
NJ, the mercury fairly reached 36 degrees
below zero. Nothing like 1t was ever known
before. One of the thermometers, which
seven A. NJ. was so above at one P. M. yesterday,
showing the remarkable variation of 100 degrees
in six hours. locomotive on the Erie Railway
at Paterson, was frozen fast near the depot, and
could not be budged with q full head OF steam.
Another engine had to be procured to help 1t
along.
man named Thomas Wright was found frozen
stir in Van Houten street about five O'Clock yes
terday morning, having been overcome by the in
tense cold while on his way home from sitting up
senseless to the station house, the proper restora
tives applied ana in few hours he had completely
recovered. There was much suffering among the
poorer classes, but no fatal cases occurred.

THE WEATHER.

Yesterday the Coolest Of tho SeasOn-The
Thermometers In . Severe state Of De-
prcssion-Curious AtmospheEic Phc-
nOmenon ON the Rivers-Cock-a nd-Bul1
Stories About the Weather.
Intense cold has prevailed in New York for the
past forty-eight hours, and on yesterday morning
1t reached the apex. The cold air wave which had
come from the West has gradually invaded every
portion OF the city, and from six O'Clock on We'd
nesday evening the thermometer began gradually
to decline until it reached temperature which
has not been equalled in several years. At six
O'Clock It was at sixteen degrees above zero, and
from that point gradually went down until at mid
night 1t was ut nine degrees From this point
the decline was very rapid, and at three
O'Clock In the morning the thermometer marked
only three degrees above zero. At this point 1t
sttll further went down to one degree above zero
ut ive O'Clock, and rose again to three degrees
above at SIX. These are the lowest ranges and at
nine O'Clock the thermometer was at four degrees;
ut twelve ten degrees, and at three fourteen de-
fourths degrees. This cold has not been equaed
for years, though 1t cannot approach the cold OF
the Sta OF January 1862 when the thermometer l
Is said to have gone down In some quarters OF New
York to eighteen degrees below.
Yet yesterday some curious phenomena took
place. One Of the most singular occurrences was
IN crossing the river from Brooklyn at an early
rvr morning. sk had risen sr
hung above the river to the height OF about
fifteen feet while above the sun was shining
brightly. The vapor had the consistency Of thick
fog, and caused so much trouble to the ferryboats
that bells were rung whistles sounded and pre-
cautions taken as on the occurrence of a regular
November fog. This lasted for some couple OF
hours, until the heat Of the sun finally melted
this congealed vapor, to the great relief Of the
pilots and passengers. 1t was phenomenon
which had not been witnessed In many years But
then this is the Winter OF extraordinary occur
rences. The suddenness of the snap yesterday
caused many to tell the most eXtravagant stories
OF the extent of the cold but the thermometers
do not seem to bear these stories out
The following record will show the changes in
the temperature for the past twenty -four hours in
comparison with the corresponding day of last
year, as indicated by the thermometer at Hudnut's
Pharmacy, HERALD Building:-

RICHMOND, Va, Jan. 30, 1873.
In the month OF August, 1868, teegraphed tho

and to be known as the Chesapeake and ONE Rail-
