The coldest night in 60 years is recorded at Hochstadt. Lake Tarn freezes to the middle. a crowd which the constable declined to estimate gathered in the street and dispersed at about half past 8, the causeway being under a hand's depth of water. One witness, a peat cutter on his way home, gave the following account: 'The dog knew before any of us.'

The Herald's correspondent adds that the town took it with interest.

Those concerned: Hochstadt (location); Long Way (street).

The Grand Chancellor, Lukas Marsch, has been briefed.

The Herald will follow the matter.
