About 8 o'clock Oh Saturday night
last the vanguard or a gale from tile
northwest reached this point. The gale
increased gradually, considerable SNOW
flying OH Sunday and; Monday, until it
eliminated OH Tuesday il genuine
'blizz;.rd, which is generally believed
to have been the severest of the winter.
1t certainly continued longer, lasting
about ~ hours
Of course, comparisons innumerable
have been instituted between. this and
the great blizzard" of january, 1873.
/ Some think it was the equal Of that col
ossal SNOW tempest. But it was not by
any means us severe. That storm was
one Of II century and we think it per-
fectIy safe to predict that he jewellers
in this region will never again witness
i storm equal to that. The difference
between tho two storms we note as fol.
lows:
l. The great storm was All electrical
storm, and seemed to come in immense
electrical waves which dashed the wind
to fury. During that storm it was i'm.
possible to work any Of the lines west
of Chicago. Tie recent storw was not
an electrical storm, the wires remain.
ing in working order between here al<,
st. Paul.
2. The barometer was not as low,
during the recent storm, by twenty
points, as it was during the great
storm, aud the thermometer was not as
low by Is degrees.
3. The quantity of snow flying, We
should say, was not more t:Ian One-lllt
us great, and the velocity Of the wind
was not as great by olle-tlird, us during
the gret storm.
4. The great storm came upon the
prairies suddenly, and beat with !,
bli'.ding and resistless fury almost
from the start, while the recent storm
CAME OH us gradually us an ordinary
March wind, and hardly rose to the
dignity of 4 'blizzard 5" until the third
day.
The railroad blockade is prub.- lily
more extensive than 1T any time during
the winter, and ii the road is open It,
fore the middle Of next week, we may
consider ourselves fortunate.
Ire Illinois Central Railroad, We
learn, is blocked throughout its entire
length and trains iavt not left Sioux
City. The storm was quite severe be-
You'd st. Paul. and it probably ragged us
violently throughout Iowa and Wilson's
Sin as it did here.
