The weather forecast for tonight is short and sweet, indicating no trouble. The great snow fall of the last two days, however, has put the weather man in rather poor favor and his forecasts are not altogether to be depended upon. It snowed all day Christmas and all night and then started in again Suhday evening and gave us some three inches more. It is probable that 15 inches fell between Friday noon and this morning, which n :ded to what we already had makes almost two feet on the ground, although it is packed down until there seems to be only about 16 or 18 inches. It is bard work for horses to pull a wagon over the country roads and bobsleds are being adopted as fast as they can be put into repairs. There are not many drifts but the snow is one of the largest we have had in many years. Corn gathering which was going on slowly has been totally abandoned. The weather continues cold enough to prevent thawing and there is a scarcity of coal among dealers and if the big blizzard that has wrought havoc along the eastern coaril; should find its way this far west with the terrors that usually accompany a storm from the east there would great deal of suffering.
