AT Sparta, Wis, Saturday, mercury
thermometers ceased to be Of any account
As weather indicators. The quicksilver
iroze (at 40 below zero) and then JACK
FRosr, assisted by u spirit thermometer,
went five better. We don't say that
"Old ProbabiliLics" is responsible for this
kind Of weather, but there didn't use to
be any such freezing as that before he
took charge Of the national mCterology.
Our compliments to the old gent, and
would he be kind enough to "let up" a
few degrees. Being strictly temperate, we
don't want to be compelled to use spirits

me that by an operation for the removal

my eyes, and on the 7th day afterwards
