THE BLIZZARD.

After nearly eleven consecutive
months of magnificent spring, sum
mer aud autumn weather, we have a.
last been reminded that we arc in the
midst of winter. Sunday morning
was almost too warm for ovcrcoats,
All tho forenoon the streets were
througed with handsomely dressed
people, enjoying the sunlight and
balmy air. At o'clock lively little
wind sprung up from the north, with
the ominous whistling sound that
means mischief. In an hour the sky
was leaden colored with clouds,
the little wind was Shrek
lug gale, and the gay crowds had
sought refuge in their homes. All
night the wind blew aud the cold ln-
creased, and In the morning the clty
was covered with white mantle OF
frozen snow aud slcet. On Monday
the thermometer registered 20 de-
prees, and on Tuesday morning the
prettlest snow storm that has been
seen here for many year was falling
The snow descended steadily until
O'Clock, at which time 1t was two inches
deep. and the town looked like q win
ter picture on a Christmas card.
