TERRIFIC HEAT.
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 deg., and to-day 120 deg. The schoolmaster was compelled to dismiss his classes, but not before several cases of fainting showed that this was necessary.
