That "oldest inhabitant" still lives
and has known colder weather than this,
and right in Austin too. The first week
in Jan. 1864. commencing with New
Years day was the time and the spirit
thermometer registered at 400 below re-
ro-and the remainder of the week was
nearly as cold.
Fifteen young couples from Austin,
or three sleigh loads took the highway
for Brownsville last Thursday evening
They returned about five o'clock in the
morning. making nearly an all night job
of the affair. We expect some of the
mamas of these youngsters were just 4
little worried, fearing the BARNS might
get cold.
This is the coolest weather Austin
has known for many years. The TRAN
SCRIPT and the Canadian prophet told of
this severe attack, but the world is still
full of unbelievers, indeed we did not be-
lieve it ourselves, that old boreas has cp-
ened his private apartments at the north
pole and seems to have no mercy towards
us southerners.
The severe cold has interfered with
the special meetings during the past
week. A union meeting was held Sunday
evening at the Baptist church, Rev. Mr..
Wright preaching. Meetings. this week
at the Baptist church. Tuesday, Wednes-
day and Thursday evenings; at the Con-
gregational church Tuesday and Thurs
day evenings.

"A dozen or more of our young pee-
pie are talking of organizing a home
dramatic company. The title of their

taking.
