EXTREME COLD WEATHER.
Ashuelot River Nearly Frozen Solid,
flinders Business.

The extreme cold weather of the past
week beats any cold spell endured here
in recent years and has wrought havoc
with water pipes and vegetables in
many cellars. Reliable thermometers
registered as low as % degrees below
zero last Sunday and some went down
to 30 below. Monday morning was
about six degrees warmer and Tuesday
morning with about II below gave
promise Of something better, but
Wednesday morning was even ahead of
Sunday for cold, 80 and 81 below be-
low being reported.
Conservation of fuel has been out of
the question and fortunately the local
supply of coal and wood is adequate
for present needs although some oizes
of coal cannot be obtained and dry
wood is scarce. Long continued cold
weather is sure to bring about an
alarming shortage of fuel
The Ashuelot river is nearly frozen
solid and the manufacturers are seri-
ousy Inconvenience, especially along
the canal, where it is almost impossible
to keep the channel and the weirs open
