NORTHFIELD.-Cold weather Saturday
and Sunday mornings, February ID and 3D..
At sunrise the thermometer stood at 2lo
below zero, and Monday morning at 100
below Many cellars in town begin to feel
the effects of the frost.
The Juvenile Templars held an exhibit
bition Saturday evening, February ID,
which was u decided success and was well
attended. The exercises were too lengthy
and the audience became somewhat impa-
tent before the exhibition closed The
smallest children spoke loud enough to be
heard in every part OF the hall, but the
power Of their voices decreased Just aboht
in proportion to their age and size, and the
conversation in the dialogue conducted by
the larger ones could not be heard even by
those who sat near the stage. The exhibit
ton was financially IL success, and the Ju-
uenilcs may justly feel proud of the enter
tainment given the public. Every mem
Der of the lodge is requested to be present
at their next lodge meeting.
