 Swept and Frozen-Our Horace John son Much More Cheerful.
 This has been real old-fashioned tough winter. As one of our old G. A. R. men-a man used to out-of door weather-said: This is the hardest winter I have known in the fifty years that have resided in New Haven-the stormiest and coldest." And now here comes w. w. Marsh, the Winton Place Prophet of Cincinnati. Ohio. and pre- diets all sorts Of bad weather for Feb ruary. His prognostications were sent to this city by a New Havener for years past prominent Cincinnati man and were received by another member of the family. Here are some of the wild and weird things the country hereabouts has in store for it, emitting what he says about what the other parts of this big country are to get in the shape of dreadful February weather:
 Terrific blizzards, with hurricane winds, at New Haven, Conn. Extremely heavy snowfall over the state of Con- necticut.'
 Think of the above, and prepare to shiver.
 Here is more about other regions:
 High gale and heavy snow at Balti- more, Md. and Atlantic City, N. J.; severe at Cape May.
 Between 18th and 20th-Cold wealth CT covering greater portion of the coun- try. Rain, turning to sleet, and snow storms, followed by cold wave over the states of Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, West Virginia, Tennessee and Pennsyl- vania. Bitter cold weather over the West and Northwest, with blizzazrds.
 "Blizzards and snowstorms, followed 1 by cold wave, and temperature ranging i between 12 and 15 degrees below zero, at Chicago and surrounding country. Ten below zero at St. Louis, Mo-. be- l low zero at Indianapolis; 10 below zero at Kansas City; below zero at Cairo, H.; 26 below zero at Bismarck, N.

 ''The worst blizzard known in years will sweep the western, northwestern, southwestern and northern states, ac- 1 companied by very low temperature and high gales, causing destruction in | their path. The eastern and New Eng land states and coasts, and covering | the entire East, will be stormswept, l the storms surpassing the great storm of 1888. The southern and Gulf states, the Lake region, Ohio valley, Pennsyl- vania and mountain districts, Ohio River valleys, Allegheny and Mononga- 1 hela valleys and the entire country will be in the grasp of the most violent storms experienced in years. These l storms will be most violent on the 24th and 18th, and will cross the Atlantic I ocean and rage as a blizzard over England and along the English coast and Channel. All property on the wa ters should be protected.
 Between the 27th and 29th the month will close with generally fair and cold weather over the country.
 Tn summing up: February will be a month of storms-violent storms and blizzards. Wind, rain, sleet and snow will prevail, covering the entire coun- l try. The precipitation during the month will be the heaviest known in years, and will consist principally of I sleet and snow, accompanied at times by heavy gales.
