Prior to the congregational meeting
a rough draft of a portion of the pro-
posed decoration had been made by a
representative of the art firm and this
was exhibited and greatly admired by
those at the Friday night meeting,
which had much to do with the almost
unanimous action of the members of
the church in ordering the work started

congregation the official board has en-
tered into a contract for the work, which
will be started on Monday morning next.

One year ago Monday morning, the
18th inst, the thermometer in Oakland
registered thirty-nine degrees below
zero. At the Weber greenhouse, one
mile east of Oakland, the mercur,
showed 40 below at o'clock that
morning, which was the coolest on
record or within the recollection of oul
"oldest inhabitant. AS one result OF
the extreme cold traffic on the B. &. o.
was almost entirely suspended on &C.
count of the almost utter impossibility
of the trainmen to keep sufficient steam
pressure in the locomotives to move the
trains, hence the wheels froze to the
rails and trans came to a standstil.
