Leigh’s Creek, February 7.
Most exceptionally hot weather has been experienced here during this week. The thermometer in the local schoolroom registered on Monday 118 deg., on Tuesday 119 dec., and to-day 120 dec. The schoolmaster was compelled to dismiss his classes, but not before several cases of fainting showed that this was necessary.
