More snow Mouday morning, but the general indications are that the back bone of the long winter is at last broke. On Monday the Platte river opposite us was reported as breaking up, and water was running on top of the ice in the Loup. Mr. Clark Young, brother to C.

We are informed that during the three days storm of last week here, there was fine weather in the western part of the state, and at North Platte, as one traveller put it, men were roosting around the de pot in their shirt sleeves, and water was a foot deep. Andrew Mathis has not been troubled with snow arouud his dwelling, barns and sheds this whi ter because of his seven acroa of tim ber to the north and west of, them. He says that timber for protection should be about 200 yards from buildings, then the drift does not reach them. During the storm Hulst & Price shipped two car loads of corn from Fremont to supply the demaud here until farmers could reach the town with their snrplus. They are enti tled to the thanks of the communi ty, especially as it was done as a matter of accommodation and not to make a profit. Some farmers are already pre paring for machine work. We saw two Saturday one stowing corn plows into his wagon, the other in quiring for extras for a seeder. While the snow lies on the ground, one to fourteen feet deep, it looks like a personification of Faith to see these things thus. It really did not snow last Fri day from the clouds in this imme diate vicinity, but the usual Nebras ka March "zephyrs" lifted the snow from Mother Earth and sent it flying thick and fast through the air, and a stranger, not accustomed to the sight, would have pronounced it an old fashioned snow storm. Two splendid looking locomo tives passed through the city west ward bound Saturday, for the Utah and Northern narrow gauge road. The country west of us is develop ing rapidly, and in a few years Ne braska will be the centre of popula tion and wealth, as she now is the geographical center of the Union. If a newspaper comes to you through the mail, and you continue to receive it from the post-office you are, under the law, obliged to pay for it, whether yon ever ordered it sent to you or not. If you wish to discontinue any periodical, at any time, pay up what you owe and then refuse to take it from the post-office. We are in receipt of a communi cation without signature, apparently written by a farm hand who has had heavy work to do in the storms, and haB not slept on the downiest beds or lived on the finest of victuals. There are thousands of such, not only "hired" men, but "bosses," too. In fact, we are all roughing it, more or less. The Nebraska farmer is more than ever convinced that shelters for stock should be cIobc and substan tial. During the civilized life of the state, stock enough have perished in storms to pay the cost of erecting good lumber shelters on every farm, and it should hereafter become a special object with every stock rai ser to provide' ample, close shelter for' every .beast. The Columbus Gazette, edited by Wm. Burgess, made its first ap pearance Tuesday of last week. It is a seven-column folio, patent out side, neatly printed, ably edited, and modestly asks for such place iu the public favor as its just merits and value as a recorder of local events may entitle it to. In the same spirit its contemporaries will welcome it to the ranks of journalism, where honest emulation to serve the pub lic in the best possible manner is the ruling spirit. A gentleman of this county had two disagreeable incidents happen to him, showing what trouble a small mistake may cause. First be received a money order from a dis tant state, but it was made out for Columbus, Ohio, instead of Coulum bus, Nebraska, and had to be sent back for rectification to where it came from. Next a draft on New York was sent to him by a learned man who had written on the back of it, "Pay to ," naming our friend, but had neglected to sign his own name, and so it had to go back, tool Iu both cases considera ble delay and trouble and some ex pense were caused by so 6mall a mistake. The events of the last few weeks have had a tendency to convince the superstitious that there is something, after all, in the Mother Shipton prophecy of the end of the world in 1881. The elements of nature, at least those of the snow-producing kind, have been "on the war-path," so to speak, so that the once "beau tiful snow" has become not only se verely monotonous, but a very ser ious inconvenieuce. He who has never seen our "blizzards" knows nothing of their fury. The storm of Wednesday, Thursday and Friday last was a fair sample of what a Ne braska zephyr can do, in conjunction with a little dry snow. The wind settles itself in the northwest, and getting down to business, keeps up an almost incessant rush for seventy two hours, piling the jnow before and behind every obstruction, sifting into every crack and crevice, ter rorizing men and beasts, and tem porality changing the very face of nature itself. A Nebraska blizzard may well aak no odds of anything. While it reigns, nothing else can find place, and when it is over, mem ory appears powerless to retain its image. The bright, .serene sunshine, and heavens without a cloud, which succeed the storm, seem also to brighten away the mental picture of it, and leave but the faint outlines, of a phantom storm. Would that the losses consequent thereupon were as little substantial as the phantoms of the mind. ANNIVERSARY BANQUET. The Columbus Macnnerchor Celebrate In Royal Style Their Fourth Anniversary. Last Tuesday evening, at their hall in this city, iu honor of the lourth anniversary of their organization, the Columbus Msennerchor Society gave a grand banquet, in which some fifty of the friends of the society, both ladies and gentlemen participated. The hall, which somehow always wears a cosy and inviting appear ance, was handsomely decorated with evergreen wreaths, appropriate mottoes and the stars aud st ripen, looked more attractive thau ever. It is quite possible, however, that a table running the full length of tha hall and fairlv uroaninyr tinder its load of good things to eat, and spark ling and laughing with good things to drink, had something to do with the more than ordinary good cheer which pervaded the hall anil sur rounded everything. With this society all fun-conflicting conven tionalities find no countenance a good time upon occasions that have been designated for the purpose is what they waut; and they have it. The evening upon this occasion was spent in convivial social intercourse, in which the freezing formality, which often spoils the enjoyment of like occasions, had no place ; iu lis tening to delightful music, and to original comical theatricals, plays in rhyme upon the names of difleront members of the society. In the last mentioned part of the programme mauy happy hits upon personal pcculiaritieswere made a was quite evident from the rounds of laughter aud applause elicited. Toasts were given and responses made, which were appropriate and happy in their effect, and thus the evening slipped merrily away and 12 o'clock canie, "good nights" were safd and the departures for home were mule in the cheerful, hearty manner Inrn of au evening delightfully spi-nt in happy social intercourse arid rec reation.

Violent storm of wind on the 10th from north to north west and con tinuing without intermission until the 13th, it was impossible to ascer tain with any degree of certainty whether any snow fell, but the air was full ot drifting snow from pre vious falls so that it was impossible to distinguish clearly at 100 yards distance. This has been the coldest Februa ry for the past G years the mean be ing 17 degrees less than February 1877 and G degrees below that of 1879 the highest and lowest means in that time. PROBABILITIES FOR MARCH. Winds blowing from Houth or east or from directions between those points aro most likely to be follow ed by snow or rain while winds blowing from west or south or from directions between those points are more likely to be followed by fair weather. Any attempt to forecaste the weather when followed by failures are sure to bring ridicule or censure upon the head of the uu fortunate weather prophet, while his success rarely brings him the credit he de serves, this is probably due to his undertaking to do too much, for in my judgment to predict the weather for months ahead and to make one forecaste apply to the' whole coun try is liable to too many contingen cies to be correct, in all cases, though it may often hit pretty well, while on the other hand there is no ques tion that with proper iustrnments the weather may almost certainly be determined from 24 to 48 hours in advance; even without these a per son possessing a moderate amount of observation may succeed very well. I am glad to find that my notes in regard to the winds have met with so much interest in the community, and I would add to what I have heretofore said, that when the change in the direction of the winds occurs after the manner of the hands of a watch from left to right or with the apparent movement of the sun then settled weather is more likely to follow than when the change lakes place by a reverse movement. Last Friday morning about one o'clock a fire broke out in Albion, which came near sweeping the whole town, a stiff breeze blowing at the time. The Argus reports losses as follows: H. Rice, $2,500, insurance $2,000; Mr. Pierce, $1,300; Tiffany, $150; Kohler & Walters, $1,500, in surance $1,200; Judd & liydell, $1,200, insurance $1,000; Cline & Letson, $6,000, insurance $4,000.
