OH, THE SNOW, THE BEAUTIFUL SNOW.

Yesterday morning people were astonished on arising from their downy couches to find the ground 'covered with snow and a fierce blizzard raging. The storm, kept up practically all forenoon, and a good six inches of “the beautiful” covers the ground as we go to press. The mercury was 17 above zero Monday and 117 yesterday morning. The storm that struck us yesterday was quite general throughout the northwest. • Trains on the Monon yesterday were about two hours late, on account of the snow.
