SOME COLD WEATHER.

\ Monday morning was the coldest weather we have had in this locality for twenty years, thermometers registering from 23 to 26 below zero. More snow fell Saturday and Sunday, and the north and south roads in some places are drifted full, so as to make them practically impassable a part of this week, and some of the rural mail carriers have been out on their, routes only a part of the time.^ Mails have been delayed and freights are an uncertain quantity, For several mornings the meroury was down below zero, but yesterday it had moderated considerably. During the week few farmers have been to town and, taken altogether, it has been one of the dullest weeks for trade that Rensselaer has experienced for many years.
