One year ago to-day the weather
was warm and enlivened by thun-
der shower-a marked contrast be-
tween then and now. This morning
mercury was down to zero, and yes
terday morning four below at two
o'clock p. m. the bright sun, which
shone clear all day, had not thawed
the crust at all. A north wind has
prevailed for several days and we are
helping wear out the Arctic winter.
]. j. Hill, the veteran sewing ma
chine dealer and one of the village
trustees, was run against by trav-
erse loaded with children on Tuesday
morning last and thrown to the
ground with such violence as to rem
der him insensible for some time; a
long cash was cut in the scalp and
he received other injuries besides the
effects of the conclusion. He is able to
be out and it is hoped has received
no permanent injuries. This sliding
has been a dangerous thing all winter
and this accident ought to convince
the village fathers that the enforce
ment of the law is a necessary thing.
