First Day Of Spring Month Is the Coolest Of

there was enough of a hang over to

the winter has the thermometer
reached nearly so low and then ii was
at a much earlier hour in the day. an
hour when most people feel what cold
they get through many layers of bed
clothes, So. it can well be called by
far the coldest day of the season
1t was very frosty cold. and conse-
ii was not easy to keep still. The
snow was musical as the cold runners
dragged over ii. and the bells had that
gasping ovortone. that speaks out the
agony of being awful chilly.
But it can't keep up for long at this
time of year There may be more ex-
treme spells. but no one looks for many
more such freezes until another SEA
son comes around. -
A number of low registrations were
reported. ON Winthrop hill. where the
thermometer is generally considerably
higher than on Water street, the ner-
curry stood at II degrees below early in
the morning. AT Rettingill's Corner
the temperature was at IL degrees be-
low. Reports from up river gave il as
low as 2S below at points on the Dexter
branch of the NJ. C. 4. r..
