he will also cell his residence at &
low price, and on reasonable terms.
Inquire of Wm. Hunneman or V. T.
Price.
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. Weather Keport.

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.

1879 the highest and lowest means

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

$2,000; Mr. Pierce, $1,300; Tiffany,
$150; Kohler & Walters, $1,500, in
