Since the

firajt freeziug'days in October . the temperature rhad been erisp and even and scarcely -a night passed shat a freezing point was not reached, while on-only a-few. occasions did it grt below 20 degrees above zero. There was only a small amount of rain and the snow of Saturday, Dec;.' 14; afforded fine sleighing on faultless, roads. Sun day, however, it -rained or rather minted and sprinkled all day nod almost all night, and- this morning a heavy wet show is ?falling, b The snow that was pn the ground, proJi-

ably about a foot in hii, has turned to slush and it is very bad Underfoot. The forecast is for a moderate temperature with northeast shifting to westerly winds. A few degrees of depressed temperature to keep ■ the rodds from breaking up would be greatly welcomed. By the way, if our recollection is not faulty, the Rev. Earl Hicks, of St. Louis prophesied all manner of miserable weather for these two months, ■ which goes to show that Hicks is as miserable a guesser as the weather . he had hoped to impose on us.
