This last cold wave beats all old time weather clear out of sight--cattle, hogs and poultry froze to death all through this country. One old fellow's thermometer went down so low it never come back. Some registered 21 and some 32 and Capt. Billy Elliott's reached 40 degrees below Zero. An old fellow living over the [Cumberland] River says his gewholker on Monday morning went down 53 degrees below "Cairo."

The ice on Crocus Creek broke up last Friday night and carried away Baker & Rowe's mill dam at Amandaville. Only last year they had their mill thoroughly repaired by Mose Stewart, the best mill wright in all this country. The River is open again and boats will be up in a day or two. --Amandaville, Cumberland County
