The great feature of the past week was

spread nearly the whole country east of

Valley and the western portion of South
Carolina. This period of cold proved very
unfayorable to the growing crops, and
much injury resulted from frost
throughout the northern portions of the
country. The line of freezing temperature
extended from western Montana southeast
to western Nebraska, thence northward to
southern North Dakota and thence east
ward through the southern portions of
Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, north
eastern Ohio and northwestern Pcnnsyl-
vania to western New York, the lowest
temperature within the United States be-
