COLD IN CONNECTICUT.

COLD IN CONNECIlCUV.
From the Waterbury American, Feb. 1ol
We can doubtless rank Tuesday as the coldesr
day that has been, or will be, this season. The
mean temperature OF the day was about zero; but
the cutting wind that prevailed made the tenn.
perature seem even colder than that. IN Hartford
y was the coldeet day since 1857, and probably
there have been lew colder days here since the
steepes OF the Episcopal and Second churches
were blown down. Certainly no sucn sustained
period of cold weather has visited us since that
memorable year 1867. and never have water pipes
been so generally frozen In this city. The com
bined cold and drought win mark this winter 40
one to be remembered.
