Coolest on Record.

The coolest weather on record
made its appearance here last
Saturday night. 1t began sleeting
about 10 o'clock, and continued
till Sunday morning, followed BY
light fall of snow. A piercing
wind from the North continued
throughout Sunday and Monday.
The sleet was between four and Ave
inches in debth in level places, but
in drifts it was much deeper.
We are indebted to Mr.. 5. NJ.
Whelpley for the following record
of the temperature, which was the
coolest ever known in Covington:
Sunday, Feb. le-At 8 4. r.. 10
degrees above zero. At noon Is
degrees. At 4P. NJ. 10 degrees.
At midnight, 2 degrees above zero.
Monday, Feb. ls-At s 4. n,
8 degrees above zero. At noon. 80
degrees. At 4P. ". 81 degrees.
At midnight, 10 degrees.
THIS is the coolest weather We
have had, the last really cold spell
being from the sth to the 18th Of
January, 1885, when tho tempera.
ture ranged for five days from 9 to
IL degrees above zero. While the
ground was covered with sleet and
snow, there were a number of I'M
proyised sleds and sleighs, includ-
ing a large flat-boat, filled with
young folks enjoying ride about
town.
Snow-balling was the order OF
day, and all who ventured on the
street were treated to roll in the
snow.
Wells and cisterns were frozen
up tight, except the flowing wells.
and those, together with the river
in front Of town, were drawn upon
for water supply, besides melting
the sleet and snow in pots ana
kettles over the fire.
Eggs, milk and all kinds Of vege-
tables were frozen SOLID, although
in the house and we'll sheltered.
1t was undoubtedly the most
severe weather We have ever had, !
and there must have been great !
suffering and loss among the sheep,
hogs and cattle throughout the
parish.

1t was with pain we noted the death,
the last week, of an old friend, General
Manager Austin E. Smith, of the Spring
field street railway system, the best
equipped trolley system in the United
States, 30 claimed, and we have vet to
find it's superior. AS a reporter 1t was
the writer's duty to interview this gentle
man every week, and the courtesy with
which we were received made it plea
sure to call upon him. His death was
sudden. He was on his way from Spring
field to his cottage on the shore, and
when in the New Haven depot he was
taken with hemorrhage of the lungs and
died In few moments. Mr. Smith was
remarkably adapted for the place he
filled. He was man of good New
England type-honorsble, conscientious
painstsking, Of excellent judgement, and
above all kindly and tactful. This posi-
ton, with its dealings with the company''
many employees on the one hand, and OF
the other with the public-impatient
critical, ana constantly suspicious tina
the street railway is getting the better O.
it-calls especially for this one quality
of tact, and those who knew Mr. Smith
best were aware to what degree he wa
possessed of this.
