ORIGIN of the Word BIlzxari.

In the North american Reeiew for January
Mr.. Tucker looks up the origin of several
Americanisms, among which is the vigorous
newcomer "blizzard." II is hardly necessary
TO say that the word blizzard, as the word Is
now understood, is a terrific storm, with low
barometer, light clouds or none at all, and the
air full of particles OF snow, in the form OF dry,
sharp crystals, which, driven before the wind,
bite and sting like flre. The term is said TO
have made Its first appearance in print about
the year 1860, In a newspaper called the
Northetn VtRdtcdtor, published at Esthervllie,
MINI. Its etymology can only be guessed at,
but there has been nc lack OF guesses. The
English word ''bllster;" the French "bouil-
lard" the German ''blitz; ;"the Spanish ''Brisa,"
the surname "Blizzard" said TO be common
around Baltimore)i an unpronouncable
Sioux term, and the Scotch verb "bllzzen'-
all these and other words have been suggested
with various degrees OF improbability as the
origin of the term. Mr.. fuckers conjecture
10 that II is simply an attempt, not wholly
unsuccessful, 10 represent the whistllng and
''driving" noise OF D terrible storm.

The trial Of Guenther schnelle, the muir.
derer Of DR.. Guenther schuohsIdt, his uncle,
Is set for to. day in Part Of the Circuit Court.
The circ umstarceso OF this, The most sensational
murder in Wheeling in recent years, are still
comparatively fresh In the public mind. The
crime was committed at o'clock on Monday
evening, March 49, Schnelle had been away,
though formerly he wa1 employed In his
urcss dug store on Main street, South
Side. On that fatal evening he went 10 the
drug store, told his brother, Robert Schnelle,
that he wanted 10 see the old Doctor, and
when his uncle appeared alter some brief
conversation. In which his uncle resented
bis not having come 10 see him sooner,
Schnelle shot the old man.
Sub!eauently, schnelle, after being con-
fiued 10 Jail, gave IS his reason for wanting
10 kill Dr. Ecauchardt that the latter was
really his father, but had refused to own him.
The prisoner also expressed regret that an
effort he had made at the time OF the murder
70 kill himself also, had not succeeded. He
refused to eat anything for 4 long time, but
afterwards changed his mind, a. d until quite
recently has shown no signs OF moroSeness.
Lately, however, he has resumed his airs,
and for four days has eaten scarcely anything.
A reporter called at the jail last evening,
and asked TO see sohnelle. He was found N
the upper corridor, and called to the door by
Tailor Davis. When he came near enough 10
recognize his visitor he said, II haven't got
any thing to say to anyreporter." He turned
and walked away weakly, and all further ef-
forts to engage him in conversation were
futile. and he inaIly turned int3 his cell.
DR.. Morris called at the jail yesterday with
schnelle's attorney, W. J. W. Cowden, ESQ.,
and made an examination with a view to de-
termining the question Of his sanity. tnssn.
ity will no DOUBT be his defense. Other ply
siclans have already examined him on behalf
