Lancaster County, Pennâ€" sylvania, who is in Waterloo this week for the funeral of his father, the late Amos Weber, pioneer farmer, who died on Saturday, drew a fine contrast of weather and busiâ€" ness conditions in this district and in that in which his farm is situated. The damp weather in Lancaster County, he said, is felt much more than the zero weather here. The temperature during this winter has been hovering about 15 degrees above the zero point, not quite cold enough to take the du:{ne. out of the air. He informed the Chronicle ‘ref'nnnudve that the climate in this district is much more healthful.
