Not in many, many years has such
cold weather prevailed in this section
of the country as during the present
winter. The weather, it is true, has
not been extremely cold. but taking it
on an average it has been unusually
cold. 1t seems that the severity of the
present winter has not been confined to
the south, for in the north the weather
has been intensely cold. 1t is aid that
for the past Six weeks there has been
continued sleighing in Central Park,

A gentleman from the northern part
Of New York state was in the city yes

thermometer standing at IA below zero
and hat when he reached his destina-
ton his ears were frozen.
