Haven. and now local preacher in New York
State near the Connecticut line, arrived in
New Haven on Saturday morning, having Just
come from Litohfeld. He says that there
the thermometer has been near zero most of
the time last week and the snow was about
two feet deep Saturday, making excellent
sleighing. The crisp, keen air and the snow
give genuine Siberian twinge to the atmos-
phere.
Such cold weather as we have had for DAYS
past at this time of year is very remarkable.
The boatmen at the wharves are again la
menting as the water in the harbor il again
covered with ice as far as the lighthouse. It
is thin, however, and not expected to stay

attempted to cross the Quinnipiac river a
short distance above the city on the ice, but
after one had broken through the attempt
was given up. Every one walks briskly
along the street shivering in the heaviest
clothing and all Join heartily in the wish
that "the hon' of March will disappear and
