another remarked: "We need consid
erable sand in our living, and we get it
during a dry wind from the south."
The enow storm in the Dakota and
in Canada north of us started Friday,
preceded by a light rainfall and accom
panied by high winds. The rain was
succeeded by sleet, then snow, which on
Sunday was still falling. Snow drifted
made streets of towns in the storm
region almost impassable. Thia is
enough to account for the weather here
since Friday, with the wind blowing atiff
from the north and northwest moat of
the time.
Carkten Petersen of the vicinity of

him, doubtless, besides what other he

treatment at an asylum for the insane,
and was taken Wednesday, by Deputy
Smith to Lincoln. He tells us that Mr.
Kavanaugh made no objections, but
knew where he was being taken, and
wanted to go. Evidently, he recognizes
the serious results that might ensue, if
he were free from restraint, in a crisis.
His many, many personal friends will
wish that he may be fully restored to
health.
The lecture on Shakespeare by Mr.
Marsh last Friday evening in the Con
gregational church, notwithstanding the
storm, waa attended by a goodly number
of people who were evidently deeply
interested with the speaker in his theme.
As it takes an appreciator to recognise a
master, it is little wonder that Shakes
peare's supremacy in literature waa not
fully ,eeen by his temporaries. Mr.
Marsh, ia hia analysis of great Shakes
peare's productions, brings to mental
view not only hia pro cesses of construc
tion, but gives an insight into the essen
tial features of bis character.
