THO BLIZzARD.
The severest storm of the season, in
deed the worst fot several years, set in
last Thursday morning aud continued
until Saturday morning. The snow
fall was not large, not more than six
to eight inches having fallen, but that
drifted badly. The weather was cold,
about % below zero, which did not
moderate sufficiently to be comfortable
until Tuesday. Trains on the main
line Of the Omaha between Mankato
aud Sioux City were suspended from
Thursday morning to Saturday morn
ing, but the Sioux Falls branch was
kept open. This is the first serious in.
terrupt'on to travel on the Omaha for
several years. Trains on the Burling.
ton are still blockaded. If 'misery
loves company" it may assuage some
of the grief of our readers to he in.
formed that that this storm has tx
tended all over the eastern part Of the
United States and Europe as well. The
temperature got down as low rs 81
above zero in some parts Of Florida,
killing oranges and i,juring the trees,
but it is hoped not seriously. The snow
in southern Illinois and Iowa was two
feet deep, and trains have been blocked
and had not been reopened at latest re-
ports. The first mail that arrived from
the east after the blockade was raised
brought eighteen sacks of mail for
Worthington and made lively times
for the postotlice force. The ADVANCE
has heard Of no cases of suffering on
account Of the storm. 1t was not one
OF the kind in which people lose their
way. us one could see quite distance.
1t is to he hoped that the days of the
olifasl,ioned blizzard have gone never

A CORRESPONDENT calls the attention
of the New York Times to the fact that
on January IL, 1918, an open meeting in
Sheffield, Mass, adopted a declaration
of more or less independence, asserting
the right of self government, announc>
ing the numerous grievances and abus-
ing Great Britain without stint. Two
of the committee that drafted the decla-
tion afterward became generals in the
Revolutionary army. They were John
Fellows and John Ashley. This decla+
tion antedstes by more than two years
the celebrated Mecklenberg declaration
which has been the subject of so much
controversy. The same writer also states
that in the same county at the village of
Great Darlington the people elected the
Judges of the crown August Is, IVA,
more than eight months before the bat
tie of Lexington, and at no time since
the date mentioned did the people of
that district ever acknowledge the au>
thority of Great Britain. The evidence
of all this is said to be still existing in
the shape of authentic records. If true,
it seems to locate the cradle of Ameri-
can liberty securely In the Berkshire
hills, for there first formal declaration
of independence was followed by an overt
act of successful rebellion against the
authority of the British crown.

THE judgment rendered in the U. S.
District Court, in the Macarthur case,
demonstrates that title to real estate
can not safely be grounded on DEGREES
of courts, even when the decree is
quarter of a century cid. The will OF
Gen. Duncan Macarthur contained a
clause giving all his property to his
grandchildren, to be controlled by trus-
tees, however, until the youngest grand
child was of age. The disinherited chill
dren brought suit, and obtained decree
in the Ross county court, setting aside
the grandchild clause, and vesting the
estate in them. They entered inio pos>
session, partitioned the land, and each
one subdivided his part. and sold it off in
farms, the purchasers considering them4
selves abundantly fortified againt the
grandchildren by the decree of court.
But grandchildren born after the de-
cree, when they became of age, entered
suit, and the U. S. Supreme Court, about
a year ago, sustained the provision of
the will and admitted the grandchildren
to inherit. Yesterday Judge jackson
made decree in accordance with the
ruling of the Supreme court. Six of the
"a grandchildren had acquiesced in
the decree of the Ross County eourt,and
are not entitled to the benefits of this
late decree. The other IS grandchil-
dren or their heirs are adjudged entitled
to their proportionate shares. The proper
ty Involved embraces a number of valu'
able farms in Ross and Pickaway and
adjacent counties, aggregatiDg over ff'
teen thousand acres. The late occupants
are not charged with rents and profits
but are allowed nothing for improve
ments. They are required to give uT
possession to eighteen twenty-fourths Of
the lands now in their possession or pur
chase the same over again. All thai
that they retain under the decree is si1
twenty-fourths, the shares CT the si1
grandchildren who acquiesced in the
Ross county decree.-Cin. Com. Gazette
