Two Months Now of Zero Weather.

Old winder is still right on the job, and every night for the past week the mercury has been down

about zero or several degrees below. Thursday morning was seemingly the coldest mornin? We have had during the winter, but the government thermometer out at St. Joseph college only registered 15 degrees below zere, about the same as those in town. Usually it is from o to 5 degrees colder at the college than here. have certainly been having a real winter this time, practically two months of it now, with the mercury most of the time in the neighborhood of zero. In fact, the ground has not thawed out since the first good freeze. When the groundhog comes cut next Tuesday we will know what the future holds in store for us-—at least those of us who bank on the groundhog adage will know.
