Bangor, Maine, Holds the Record for
New England Where Temperature

Every one agreed that 1t was cold
Sunday, and that the past few days
have been the coldest of the season. One
individual, whose veracity is unim-
peachable, stated Sunday night that the
thermometer, on his house, dropped 25
degrees from o'clock in the afternoon,
until in the evening, the lowest point
registered being six below.

streets yesterday looked unhappy, and
most of them seemed to have the one
object Of reaching warm place as soon
as possible.
Worcester is well off as to weather
When compared with some other New
England cities. Telegraphic advices
from Boston dated Sunday say:
The severe cold wave which had
prevailed throughout New Eng
land for the past four days seems to
show no signs of breaking, and In fact,
has, been, If anything, intensified today.
In few localities for the past "a hours
has the temperature been higher than 10
degrees above zero, while in the north
ern portion Of New England 1t has been
below that mark since Friday night The
lowest temperatures reported have been
from Maine and northern New Hamp-
shire. The record of 80 degrees below at
Bangor seems to be the severest tenn
perature yet recorded. The absence of
anything like a heavy wind has made
the cold seem less severe, while in this
state and farther south the sharp wealth
er has made sure the Ice crops which a
week ago looked precarious. There ap-
pears to be little likelihood of any warm
