Zero Weather.

The second spell of zero weather
that we have experienced this season
came along yesterday morning. At
40 O. clock, according to the Montour
house record, mercury stood at Q de.
grees above, but the the coolest hour
had not been reached; at Z a. m. the
mercury stood at the zero point. Dur
ing the forenoon, although the sky was
clear and the sun shone with brilli.
ancy, it remained very cold. The best
that mercury could do by II O'Clock
was to climb to degrees above zero.
1t was on December 10Th that We
had our other and first taste of zero
weather, mercury on that date going
down two degrees below. That night
was a trifie colder, but the weather
warmed up somewhat during the day
following. Outside of these two dates
the only approach to really cold wealth
er was on Monday, December "a, when
mercury was six degrees above zero.
The most of the time this winter mer-
curry has been considerably above 80
degrees. On Tuesday, January 9th, the
thermometers stood at so degrees
above.
The ice men are again taking heart.
The ponds are already covered with
ice. but whether there will be har-
vest worth gathering will depend up
OH whether or not the cold wave will
continue week or more, or as in the
past this season it will be speedily
followed with a thaw.

Annual Report.

At the last meeting of the trustees
of the Thomas Beaver free library a
report WAS presented, which showed
that the circulation of books amount
ed to 26, 449 during the year ending
with December 3lst last. The largest
number issued in any month was dur
ing Jauuary-3, 440. During February
the library most of the time was clos
ed for repairs and only 1856 books were
issued. In March 3 2S3 books were tax
en- out. From this on as ring adyanc-
ed the number of books taken out each
month grew less. In August, when peo-
pie probably are not inclined to read
very much but / ,423 books were issued,
which is the smallest number found
on the report As winter approached
the number began to climb again. In
November the number of books taken
out numbered 2, 1853.
During the year 205 cards were is
sued, which implies that that number
of new patrons were added to. the list
of library readers. Fines during the
wear aggregated SO AZ, a sum which
raid for more than one-half of the
Il, .ht required.

Promotions in Guard.

Promotions in the national guard
will move little more rapidly for a
y years, and there will be great
lge in the list of general officers
o1 the State troops if bill introduced
Tuesday night by Senator Godcharles,
of Northumberland, is passed. The
measure provides that after a man has
served forty years in theguard he may
apply for retirement, and that when
an officer reaches the age of sixty four
years he shall be retired without fur
ther ado. Officers so retired are to be
advanced to the next higher grade, and
at the expiration of the commissions
held at the time of retirement they
may apply for new commissions at the
higher grade, which they will hold as
retired officers during good behavior,
which virtually means for life. Offic-
ers on the retired list may be entailed
for any duty, except commanding
troops. "It is my idea to introduce a
bill which shall be for the good of the
guard as whole" said Senator God
charles is speaking of the measure.
Senator Godcharles is oonversant with
guard matters and needs, having serv-
ed as inspector of rife practice in the
twelfth regiment until less than a
year ago.
