Typical March Weather.

The mercury Friday night got down to within 8 degrees of zero, which is almost a record-breaker for March. Most of the snow which fell earlier in the week remained on the ground until Sunday night, when enough rain fell to take away the light covering. Monday was fairly pleasant and much warmer, the mercury reaching 65 degrees in the afternoon. Yesterday was a fine bright day, with clear skies and balmy breezes. Evidently the “bock” season is not far off. P. S.—The above was written at about 10 o’clock yesterday forenoon, and before the noon hour was reached the skies were clouded over and a cold raw wind came up, and the afternoon was quite disagreeable weather, but typically March.
