The attendance was smaller than usual, many who had intended 

 coming having been kept away by the extreme cold weather, the 

 thermometer indicating from twenty-four to thirty-two degrees 

 below zero at sunrise, being colder than anything ever before experi- 

 enced in this section by those present. 



It was too early to make examinations to determine the damage 



done to fruit, but it was the general opinion of members that the 



peaches and some cherries must be killed, and other fruits seriously 



damaged.

Secretary.
