Although the constant efforts of the gangs Matt out had
somewhat gained the mastery over the ohetructii.ns by
Thumd.y night, yet in the email hours of Friday morning,
the snow came on sot ickly that when the railway officers
prepare 1 for the day's work, they found all ha. 4 to he done
over &Auto, and more than all since • hook at Upwey added
to their difficulties, bre Ming the COmmunteatioo with
Dorchester which was untvu ally important inconsequence
' of persone summoned for the juries, solicitore, witmesere,
expecting to K., up from Weymouth to the county
tnwri. AU the efforts of the men to clear the lima seem
Insufficient to allow of page .go for • regular train, hot by
the middle of the day the obstruction had so tar been
reduced that a " pilot " train of extraordinary pow. r,
con ins only of three great engines, was diranatrehed lir
Mr. Collett. our energetic stationmestar. Thi. nornamm
force managed to push itu way through the obstruction on
the up line at Up say. and. hr 'needing beyond D •rchester
ene metered Vie greater black of von., at Gritn.tone. and
with equal success, though even the tremendius power •
of the "Ailiwi forcer " was insufficient to clear their way
as far as Yeovil. The juror, and others waiting to go to
Amiss' remained at the station t 11 botween one mil two,
and then most of them env.. it "pee aI at day. A d•,wn
train, however, came to us ou it,., up Ins soon after, and
the pastel authorities, rah •Itui b n waiting all the morn-
ing for the mail, were m u•.• the' arrival ot three
mails at once. Seising toe op ~munity. the Great
Western superioteuileut deep to tad an up train,
which reached Derchest, ; but • ouo of those who itad
waited oolong had scarcely believed th•• Vain would get
there. and c insequently were lett behiad. Aisort four
o'clock the L onion daily pip re arrived, itutrad of at
midday, and, • ncourived by the improved appearance of
matters, the Sautil-Weat,rn despatched their first train
about 4.50.
In the streets, the borough sure .yor, Mr. Morgan. end
Mr. Supt. Vickery, with nearly 100 men, were °mimed in
cutting C immunications in the wreets, en I in St. Thomas-
street a c .nvenient r ,ad had been cleared I row end mend.
In St. E I,lmnd-street and the lower mart°, Matdro-strevt,
favoured he then earnese of the Harbour, into which the
snow war thrown, greet clearances had been wide; but
coal carrving was m ut.y done on men's shoublerg, horses
and carte being caught un for the clearing, t kome Welt
were to thus eug•-e I were reserved till safer time-.
St. Maio' -et reef, the rammer were cut from each end ; but
the work was tedious. ant it we late before they a,,s
through, at Vie St. Aib nib-street cries, and the hr..airy
wauo, 5 had to cimrge the omit, u t tug drift like artilloy
going throuM an mirth bank.
Tie Postal Service has beeu very much Interrupts I by
the suos . The mail, due at 4.30 lam on Wolueeday, .id
not alive till eight, and torn not I 7 m til-cart in the
ordin,rr curse, but by the first Pa•seulter Ir.lll hunt
Darch stir ; the Portland mail was then mule ur. and
despatc .ed by the 933 tiab. The Midland, 41,t
Bristol ,nail, due at 1(1.30 a.m., er..• n., . in at • quarto to
seven at night ; the Yeovil and D ii cheater, rue at 11 a.m.,
arrived at 6.30, being tue first train from ,Yeovil tor the
day. The Salisbury bag could not be got at all, and the
Channel Islands tiag• which were due Tuesday night,
at 10.46, tir, re not twoiived tip t Wednesday evening. in
oonsequsuce of the block at Chippenhani. No LOO•aaa••
could be s nt to or received from Portlaud by electric
telegraph, the signals being too weak. although each
station could be "celled" from the other. The postmen
suffered very much on their tourneys, and Smedley, who
is subject to occasional palpitation of the heart, ootvd not
wormed lurther on the Dorchester-road than the "Pig and
Whistle." as it is called, near the junctional the R actin de
Village-road with the Darchestm-road.
After the railway officers had battled bravely with the
snow, it seemed likely the Great Western were to be
beaten at last, for when the time came to despatch the
ordinary Fever, p.m. train, there were no" coar.hise in the
station. all harm< Item seat nut, and not returned. It was
therefore contemplated to send the "break-,town gang"
up on an engine, acid to despatch no further tram until
the mall at 9.40; but after consideration a train was made
up of an engine and two vans, and despatched at
hour, in piano of the seven train. Very great difficulty was
experienced with the points, which required • long time
to shift.

" Please remember me ki c 11) ti, your guests on Wednes-

friend. Mr. Pan ler, one of my travelling companions in
the E sat. caught tr ;mid (ser during our stay in Rome;

Wednesday, a eery, very sad duty. I dare say you
remember the able whiten°, he rendered when I delivered
my lecture on Cyprus in Weymouth."
