A Blizzard Strikes Arkansas.

Last night a cold wave struck Arkansas and today our people are enduring the coldest weather that they have experienced for years. On good authority it is stated that at 5 o'clock this morning the mer- cury registered 5 degrees below zero. At 7:30 o'clock However, while other thermometers reg istered from 2 above to 9 degrees below zero, the thermome- ter of the United States Signal ser vice Bureau only registered ? de- ,grees above zero. This is undoubt- edly correct, and the variations in different thermometers in different parts of the city is due to incorrect instruments.
 At an early hour this morning the Arkansas river was almost frozen over, and it would undoubtedly have been, had the wind not been so high.
