the ground so deep with STOW that people

from ten to twenty feet deep, and general.

Cottages ofone story were entirely buried
SO that the people dug paths from one
house to another under the snow. Soon
after slight rain fell, and the froet crus.
ed the snow; and then the people went
out oftheir chamber windows and walked
over it. Many of the farmers lost theil
sheep; and most of the sheep and swine
which were saved, lived fiom one to two
weeks without food. One man had some
hens buried near his barn, which were
dug out alive eleven days after. During
this snow, great number of deer came
from the woods for food. and were follow
ed by the wolves, which killed many o
thom. Others were killed by the people
with guns. Some Of the deer fed to Ma
hant, and being chased by the wolves
leaped into the sea and were drowned
Great damage was done to the orchard
by the snow freezing to the branches,a nc
splitting the trees as it fell.
The snow formed remarkable era in
