A MONTHLY MAGAZINE.
EDITED By REV. EDWARD HALE,


The welcome gwen to the first numbers
assures the proprietors apd editor that
their plan for vigorous, comprehensive,
and popular Magazine is we'll founded.
We mean to make the stories in "Old
and New" attractive alike TO its youngest
reidevs and to its oldest readers in their
moments Of recreation. We mean, also, to
discuss the grAvest themes Of Science, of
Politics. and Of Religion. We do not
mean that these discussions shall be child
ish, any more than we mean our stories
shall be dull. Our desire is, not contro-
versy, but to state the highest and best re-
suits arrived at, IN fearless science. in
Christian morale, in free government, and
in Liberal theology.
The Examiner in each number Of cold
and New" viii contain such reviews of
books recently published in all parts of
the world as shall guide, buyers Of books,
and put them on their guard against wha.
is worthless.
The January number of the Record and
Progress mas dagoted specially TO- i'm
provements in Education succeeding num-
5ers viii touch Oh the Homes of the People,
on Sanitary Improvement, on Cooperative
Experiments, and on other enterprises for
the improvement Of the methods of daily
life. .ff&,. .s,
The editor has distinguished assistants:
The journal must, of course, be printed in
one place but it doe not pretend-to be a
local organ. There is no State in the IN

1t is decidedly amusing to hear the
Anoks Union-published at very small
town on very large sand hill-spesk Of
st. Cloud as being t'dull." There are no
towns in the State or elsewhere being par
tieularly rushed with business just now,
but moro life can be seen on the streets of
St. Cloud in one day, and our merchants
do more business, than st Anoka in month.
II by any remarkable coincidence two
teams happen to be in that sand hole at
the same time, the citizens think Fourth
Of July must have come and that the whole
country is whiting them in procession. "a
cat can look at king" aud so Anoka is
quite q: liberty to refer to St. Cloud.

Snow s1oRx.-On Thursday night tb,
wind rose, drifting the snow badly. AT
st. Paul some six inches Of fresh snow fell,
though at this place it did not exceed one
inch. The railroads were all blockaded.
No trains arrived or left on Friday, as the
wind kept up all day. On Saturday a
passenger tram, preceded by snow-plow
with two locomotives loft St. Paul, and
reached here by four o'clock. superinten-
dent Delsno and Jud. Rice make short work
Of snow drifts when they once get fair
chance at them.
At noon on Monday snow began again to
tall, and continued with scarcely any ces-
sation until wednssday morning. Not
less than fourteen inches Of snow were ad-
ded to the quite sufficient supply already
on hand. The wind blew during q por-
ton Of tho time, and made some bad drifts.
The train which loft on Tuesday morning,
succeeded with difficulty in reaching Clear
Lake, IL miles, by afternoon. The St.
Paul train, preceded by huge snow plow
driven by two locomotives, got as far as
Anoka, and there remained until the fol.
lowing day, when the wind went down. It
then worked its way through, arriving here
about four O'Clock yesterday afternoon.
Tho down train left Clear Lake after
the snow plows had cleared the way. The
cars left on time this morning., and tho
up train = rived at noon.
Tho roads in other portions Of tho State
were blockaded in tho same manner.
The stages made good time until Tues
day. The Sank Centre stage, due that af-
ternoon. did not arrive until yesterday at
noon, and the Crow Wing stage until even
ing. Yesterdays stages did not get in I'M
til to-day.
The weather to-day is bright, warm and
spring-like, and the snow is melting rapid.
