March Weather Ushered in Sunday.

March came quite lion-like. The mercury took a drop Saturday night and the wind howled and blew a fierce gale all night long, and kept up cold, raw wind all of Sunday. Sunday, however, was a typical March day, the sun shining brightly and the skies being clear as a bell one moment, while the pext the skies were clouded over and snow gusts filled the air. The mercury kept down about 12 to 15 above zero all day. Monday morning, while not so windy, was a replica of Sunday otherwise, but it cleared up soon and the day was quite pleasant. The drop in temperature Saturday night made the roads and uncleaned sidewalks—which comprised about 90I>er cent of all the walks in town- - a glare of ice, and made navigation dangerous for both man and beast. Yesterday was quite bright and pleasant at the start, with the mercury at 20 degrees in the morning. The air was cold and raw, however, and the skies were clouded over.
