p. S. Jan. B, 1835. — Of the late very cold weather, we copy 

 the following notice from the Daily Herald, of this city, of Jan. 5, 

 1835, and having no other room, we insert it in this unusual place. 



Cold Weather. — Yesterday and to day, the 4th and 5th of Janu- 

 ary, 1835, will be memorable days in meteorological history. The 

 degree of cold in this city is unprecedented — greater than ever be- 

 fore noted by scientific observers. The air has been quite calm, with 

 a bright sun, which, however, has no effect upon the frost. There 

 is a heavy body of snow upon the ground, for which the farmers, 

 (and all who eat bread) may be thankful, as a protection to the 

 germed grain. 



In preference to any observations of our own, of the state of the 

 thermometer, we give those of our correspondents, including several 

 different portions of the city, from the harbor to the northern extrem- 

 ity, including the high ground of Hillhouse Avenue. Professor 

 Silliman's thermometer, at 8 o'clock this morning, was 23^ below 0. 

 A gentleman who has been in the habit of making notations of the 

 weather for forty four years, informs us that he never knew the mer- 

 cury before more than 16° below cypher. The famed cold win- 

 ter of '79-80, according to the notes of President Stiles, in the 

 month of January, was only at —19°. 



Messrs. Editors — As Ihis is probably the coldest weather that has been known 

 here for a great number of years, I send you the state of my thermometer at diffe- 

 rent times since Saturday evening. The thermometer is supposed to be correct, 

 but as it has been exposed to the north west wind in a high and exposed situation 

 in the north west part of the town, its range is probably two or thiee degrees lower 

 than that of thermometers in the more protected parts of the town. 



Saturday, 11 o'clock P. M. 5° below zero. 



Sunday, sunrise, 13 " 



I have kept a thermometer six years, and have never known it so low as this 

 morning by 13 degrees. Nor do I recollect a day when it was so low as zero for 

 the whole day, as was the case yesterday, (and probably will be to-day,) though the 

 sun shone remarkably clear and bright the whole day. 



Observations in Water St., fronting the harbor. 

 Sunday, Jan. 4 — at sunrise, 10 below 



We understand that, at Hartford, the thermometer was at — 27^, 

 and that Mr. C. U. Shepard, saw the mercury at his house, near 

 New Haven, stand at — 26.5°.
