The Cold Winters.
Taunton Gazette.1

Taunton GazeJte.1
The remark is frequently made during this
cold weather, "This is the coolest ever known"
The winter Of 1875 has not been forgotten for
its remarkable temperature, when the ground
was frozen over four feet in depth through
March, and the river closed over with ice about
t Vo feet thick down through Mt. Hope Bay
aud navigation completely obsructed below Fall
River, and skaters made excursions to Newport
In 1867 was another cold winter; January was
the coolest in twenty-seven years, the mercury
ranging for ten days from 2 to u below zero
In 1857 was another cold season, with fire.
ouent snow storms recorded the coolest for
forty-seven years; there was cold Friday, the
23d of January, when the mercury ranged from
% to 26 below zero; at WhittentoD, 80 below;
on Saturday 26 below. The great snow storm
that week will also be fresh in the recollection
of those who made trip to Boston in that az
ternoon. The train from New Bedford and
Taunton was enlarged near Sharon Heights
locomotives and cars stuck fast in the banks
for the night tire mercury at twenty degrees
below zero. The hospitable people at that
place made their way to the train and well
coined the ladies, large humber, to their res
licences, and provided coffee and refreshments;

cold night. While some got a little sleep 9th.
ers anxiously awaited relief train from Bos-
ton, which finally came through the immense
oanks OF snow, from four to Ten feet high, and
the party arrived safely in Boston about twen-
" hours after leaving Taunton. For fifteen
days during the month of January, the mer-
curry ranged below zero. January of the pre-
vlous year, 1856, was also cold month, the
mercury on twelve days ranging from to IS
below zero. In 1852 the cold was again in
tense. In January, 1910. the mercury for ten
days ranged from to Is degrees below zero.
In 1867 the cold weather commenced Nov. 6,
when ice formed continuing through Deem
Der and January for ninety days: large por-
ton of the time below zero.
In 1910, January and February are recorded
as noted cola months; Friday, the 18th Of jan
nary, the mercury stood at 2s below, and
large number Of people were frozen to death in

forty days of cold weather, during which it is
recorded that the sun did not melt the snow
nor iceEa: drop from the houses nor on the
streets.
We have record of many cold seasons, but
tnat O Oh 1G Past day CO.. zephanah Leonard
rode from the old forge in Raynham down the
river and bay to Newport on horseback to ex-
plore the way; and during the following
months teams were employed carting iron
manufactures to Newport, and returning with
pig iron for the forge. The ice was two feet
thick the whole distance. 1t will be seen that
the present winter has been mild compared
with the above seasons.
An incident in reference to continuous cold
may be worth repeating, as related by de-
scendant of Capt Joshua Leonard OF kayn-
ham, which occurred SO years ago. On the
9th OF November, a pleasant day; like those of
1880, Mr. Leonard was blowing, and at night
left his pillow in the furrow to resume work the
following day. That night the pillow was
frozen in, and was not thawed out until the
following April, period of five months Such
are few of The winters that left their mark.

THE supreme Courts decision that the
prohibitory amendment to the State consti-
tuition of Iowa is unconstitutional, throws

whether new prohibtory amendment shall
be submitted to the people and whether
Senator Allison shall be reelected.

GOVERNOR Butler, of Massachusetts,,
writes to Susan B. Anthony declaring his
belief that the Fourteenth Amendment full
ly covers the right Of all ''persons" to vote;
that the women OF the country are ''per-
sons;'' and therefore woman suffrage is al
ready possible under the National Constitu :
ton, without further amendment, both in
the States and the country at large. Cover
nor Butler says further that he believes this
position will be fully sustained by the Unit
ed States Supreme Court.

THE old-fashioned system of memorizing
from textbooks is now attacked with great
vigor in many quarters. Speaking on this
subject the Philadelphia Times says ''There
should be great deal more oral instruction
and a great deal less of text books. Espec-
tally should be a less stringent and exacting
rule in regard to memorizing from text
books. A teacher who cannot teach history
or geography without requiring a pupil to
answer questions in the exact language of
the text books is not fit to be teachers,
in fact, utterly unfit. Some teachers exact
from pupils degree of accuracy and verbal
memorizing in this regard which the teach
ers themselves could not attain to, and
which not single member of the school
board could reach, even if they had to be
kept in after school every day in the year."
