HYPERBOREAN COLD!

A .Spell of* Wealifer that Again Beats the Oldest Inhabitant. -- ■" A '' ' The four days, ending last Monday morning, were the coldest four consecutive (lays within the memory of the oldest citizens... Two days of heavy snowfall were succeeded, on Thursday, by clear weather aud a rapidly falling thermometer. The cold wave extended over an immense scope of country. From the western boundary of Nebraska, to the eastern boundary of Ohio, and from Manitoba to Tennessee. The thermometer, in some cases, registering as low as forty-five degrees below zero. At Rensselaer, the two days heavy snow fall, was succeeded, on Thursday, by clear weather, a bitter wind and rapidly falling temperature. By night-fall it had fallen to 16 degrees below, and at daylight, the hext morning' thermometers, in various parts of the town, indicated from 26 to 32 degrees below, depending something on the more or less exposed position of the instruments. Friday, Saturday and Sunday, were intensely cold, the thermoipeter registering from 25

to 30 degrees below, every night. The running of trains was more or less interrupted on all railroads within the scope of the storm, but no road suffered greater interruption than the L., N. A. & C. The south-bounld train of Wednesday morning, was the last to pass over the-road until Sunday night. The uorth-bound train which should have passed this place, at 5:28, Wednesday evening, stuck in the snow between Reynolds and Chalmers. After some 14 hours in the drifts, it was finally got to Monon. The south bound train, due here at 10:36 p. m., was snowed in near St. John’s, a station between Lowell and Dyer. A freight train with several cars off the track, in the same neighborhood, made the blockade much more serious. The passengers remained in the cars until morning, and - then took refuge in neighboring farm houses, and in St. John’s, and Dyer, and were taken back to Chicago Saturday. On Sunday evening the trains again began to run regularly.

The Catholic Church.

Tlie new brick church building erected by the Bottfan Catholic congregation of fiensael&er, as it now stands, has cost $4,500, and will require something like S7OO more to complete it. It still lacks windows, seats, and -the altar. The Catliolios of Dyer, in Lake county, have lately presented the church with a tabernacle for the altar, which will save a large expense in that respect.

Dear girls, look , before you leap—look at the young man’s bank account. — Pimbum HUmtoli. Very foolish advice. Better inquire whether he has a good reputation for honesty and integrity. Whether he has a sound body and a good mind , and is a stranger in the saloon. Whether he is kind to mother and sister. Better marry any young man with these virtues, without a dollar, than any fortunate youth with a bank account with the vices coursing through his veins and shaping him for future misery.—[ In ter-Ocean.

What a difference there is in the ways of a man’s and a woman's falling on the ice. A man will go sprawling all- over the sidewalk, and after kicking about like a crab with the shaking palsy for two or three minutes, will finally get up with a thoroughly demoralized' air, liis raiment covered with dirty snow and his mind full of maledictions; but a woman, bless her! When she falls she sinks down with a courtesy into a neat and compact bundle, and before you know it is on her feet again, sailing swi ft# away, with a seraphic smile on her face, sunshine in her heart, and not so much 4s a suggestion of her downfall on her clothing.— Boston Transcript.

Polishing the Wrong End. Many men daily polish their boots who never give a thought to the condition ot their hair, exept to harrow it casusally with brush and comb, or sumbit it to the paralyzing attentions of the average barber. What happens? Why, this : From neglect, mental anxiety, or any of a score of causes, the hair turns prematurely gray and begins to fall out. Parker’s Hair Balsam will at one e stop the latter process and restore the original color. An elegant dressing, free from grease. 14-4 l An Editor’s TributeTheron P. Keator, Editor of Ft, Wayne Ind.

Large Size SI.OO. 16-16-41. IM 111 Insure against Accident. ... '■ ■ • .1 . ; . Farmers are apt to overlook the many dangers, and liabilities to accidental injury, to w hich they are daily subjected. They handle a greater variety of tools and implements than almost any other class of men. They mount ladders, clamber about st*eks, loads of hay, onto the soof, and even climb trees. They are among the hoof? and horns and teeth of their live-stock. They drive in a promieuous way, in' all sorts of conveyances, and at all times of the day, and in the darkest shades of night. They are, therefore, at all times, liable to cuts, Tiruises. kicks, gores, bites, falls fractures arid other injuries, Ad Infinitum. Tbi* being true, every farmer should deem nn accident poticy indispenxibde. Ten dollars a year will secure a policy in the old and reliable TrAv kerb's- Insurlnc# Co., covering SI,OOO in case of accidental death, and $5 a week foi disabling injury. Larger *ums in same ratio. 16-1 FR ANK W. BABCOCK, Agont.
