SALEM.
The past week takes precedence for
being the coolest of any we have had
this winter.
On Monday the thermometer stood
from u deg. to Il deg. below zero,
and the weather was SO inhospitable
that man and beast were glad to seek
shelter. Even to keep up q comforta-
BILE temperature indoors required an
unusual amount Of caloric generated
by constant replenishing of the fire
with wood from the farmers bic wood
pile which rapidly diminished in size.
On Tuesday the weather began to
moderate little, and by Wednesday
morning nature showed kindlier
grace beguiling people to enjoy the
superb sleighing and to have Merry
Christmas.
The day was COMMUNICATED as usu-
al with family reunions, parties, and
in various social ways, which in each
case Christmas turkey and buildings
| figured conspicuously in their way.
And cherished gifts brought out and
shown to friends and guests were a
pleasing evidence that Santa Claus
had made his ubiquitous Christmas
tour around the world making people
very happy.
Christmas trees prevailed in the
churches and as the fruit of their
richly laden boughs was waited over
the assembled crowd, many were the
| hearts that were warmed and cheered
However Christmas tree did not
grow in the church at Salem Station
this year, and it is the first failure
since the church was dedicated. It is
possible there was a worm at the root
of the tree; or the "Son's Of Temper

Prof. Morris, Of Bri stol, England
the distinguished English phrenolo-
gist, lectured at Salem Station on Fri
day and Saturday evenings of last
week, and Monday and Tuesday eve
nings Of this week.
His lectures were interesting and in
|structive, and the professor in turn
finds brother Johnathan's head fer
tile subject for study and examination.
The inhabitants in town during his
short stay developed something of a
mania for having their heads EXAM
ined, in consequence of which there
was not dearth of heads that passed
through the process.
And in every instance he rendered a
faithful delineation of character which
won him golded opinions and even
converted the skeptic to the belief
that there is much truth in phrenology
notwithstanding many are pleased to
term it pseudo science.
In word Prof. Morris is a master
of the subject which he illuminated
with effective light, and was recog-
nized as bright and eligible spark in
our midst, worthy Of patronage where
ere he may chance to hold forth.
Teachers meeting of W. D. held at
Salem Center on Saturday, can scarce
ly be reckoned success if number is
made the basis Of calculation.
In the morning there were only
eight present, six Of whom were cul-
tured, brainy pedagogues, and the
other two were ladies not belonging to
the fraternity Of teachers. The num-
Der present in the afternoon was
tWenty-four.
Supt Mahoney called the meeting to
order. Miss T. Monaghan was not
present to conduct the exercise in
