enjoyable evening.
This morning was the coolest of the
winter so tar-a genuinely cold spell
such as seldom visits this section. II
was four degrees below zero between
7 and 8 o'clock, and reports from
country folks say That IL Was Il de-
grees below before daylight. 1t was
undoubtedly some chilly. The river
ls frozen in quiet places, and as slush
ice is running it will probably freeze
over tightly by tomorrow unless there
is a sudden change in the weather.
The deepest snow that has fallen In
this section for some years now lies
upon the ground. 1t began early
Monday morning, and the fakes fell
increasingly until Tuesday forenoon,
when the REGISTER s measuring stick
showed a depth of thirteen inches, A
singular thing noticed was that after
the clouds had passed away and the
sun was shining the snow fell IN a
desultory way for half hour or more
