PEcTED TO BE WARMER TOMORROW.
The gentlemen in charge of the weather
bureau are very contrary. They will never
make an official admission that the weather is
as hot or as cold as everybody elre thinks il is.
Now, anybody who was on the street early this
morning properly imagined that the thermom-
eter was certainly below the zero mark. The
oracle at the weather departments announces. how
ever, that the minimum Temperature last night
and early this morning was 2.5 above zero.
1t has been below that point but once this
winter, and that was on the 14th instant, when
it registered below. The coolest hour this
morning was between and o'clock. but the
rise in temperature from that hour was so
slight and gradual that::t could scarcely be de-
tected, even with the aid of a thermometer. At
O'Clock it had risen to SO.
THE COLD LASTED LONGER THAN on SATURDAY.
While the cold was not SO severe as on the
18th instant it lasted longer and was conse-
quentiy really more severe in Impractical effect
on water pipes, &c. The foolish early bird
certainly caught nothing this morning. unless
it was cold. The air was sharp and biting
and blue noses were extremely fashionable
That 1t was "a nipping and an eager air" was
demonstrated by the constant and hasty swing
Ing OF bar room doors. At no time within the
past two weeks has the maximum temperature
In this vicinity gone above freezing point (32)
and the minimum temperature has been below
20 every night On four nights, 18th, 18th, 14th
and 10th, it has been 10.
