COLD WEATHER " The average temperature of Friday, Jan. 1st, was as cold as ever known in this vicinity. At 7 o'clock am, the mercury stood 30 degrees below zero; at 12 o'clock m, it stood 20 degrees below; at 9 pm, 27 degrees below, and at 7 o'clock Sat. morning it was down to 28 degrees.  Many persons out calling New Year's day had their ears frozen, and several froze their hands and feet.   The following from the Dubuque Times of Friday last, will apply to the conditions here on Thursday:   Yesterday, Dubuque was as a city in the wilderness. She held no  more communication with the world than if she had neither railroad nor  telegraph. The primitive day of the first settlement were restored.  All day long chilling wind and blinding snow forced her people to keep  in doors. The appearance of Main street was as Sabbath like as the most rigid observer of the sacred day could wish well to see--businesses, save in the saloons and billiard rooms was dead, a little poultry and nic nacs were purchased in the groceries for New Year's, and that was all. The merchants and their clerks sat around their stoves, and told stories, ate apples, and cracked nuts and jokes. Mechanics went to their shops, took off their coats and worked awhile, and then went home to keep warm.   Whew I but how cold it was. The atmosphere was like etherial ice, and when the wind seized it and, shrieked like a dying maniac drove it through men's clothing, and against their shrinking bodies, the flesh shivered and the blood curdled."
