a judgment held by the plaintiff a

declared special lien on the premises.
A settlement in the case is anticipated.

According to the always conservative
measurements of the government sta
ton, Local Observer Jones reports the
snowfall of the forty eight hours to be
an average of about ten inches. 1t is
impossible to take the measurement
exact for the average cannot be taken
as it is usually made, owl the
drifting. The precipitation O. now
fall of the twenty-four hours e! ing at
1880 this morning was ga, which indi-
Gates about six inches of snow. Eight
was the maximum in temperature
Tuesday, and 6 below the minimum.
At 80 this morning below was reg
istered.
Wild game suffered severely yester-
day from the storm, and it is the opin-
ion Of hunters that many quail, which
took to the hedges for shelter, were
showed in and perhaps either crushed
bv the snow or smothered to death be-
fore they could get out. During the
nice weather the quail have been in the
corn fields, but upon the approach Of
a storm they invariably take to the
hedges. Along the hedges in all parts
Of the country the snow drifted badly
in places ten feet high, and should any
birds be caught under the weight of
the snow they would doubtless die be-
fore they could release themselves.
