During the past two weeks the weather has been extremely cold, and the thermometer has gone as low as twenty-eight degrees below zero. And at hardly a time has it been warm enough to make a show of melting. Everything is frozen that is freezable, and ice ought to be cheap the coining season. A good January and February ought to be forthcoming, followed by a favorable spring. All are hoping for such.—(Dec. 26, 1881.)
