Ground Still Covered With Snow.

For the benefit of the many readers o r The Democrat residing in other sections of the country and who are always interested in knowing the kind of weather they are having hack home, 1 ' ve will state that Wednesday and Thursday was Quite cool, the n^-rcury reaching to within about 15 degrees of zero Tuesday night. A part of the snow that fell last Friday night, and Saturday is still with us, and a couple of inches more fell ,>e.~terday morning. The mercury stood precisely at freezing point at *8 rr. m. yesterday, in the shade. The roads, which were very had, got smoothed down quite a little Wednesday and Thursday, and if it will only stay below the freezing point for awhile it will be greatly appreciated by the farmers, who want to haul in their corn as soon as the conditions of the roads will permit.
