Worcester daily spy. [volume] (Worcester [Mass.]) 1850-1888, 1853-01-02

us: IL
Our streets are filled with large snow drifts, in
some places six or eight feet high. A seeereer
snow storm has not been experienced in Boston
for many years, and during the day the marts of
business and of pleasure were abandoned by all
except those whom absolute necessity drove from
warm fresides.
The railroads had the worst time Although
every possible effort was made by the different
companies with their engines, and extra gangs of
men, to "cear the track, the driving snow filed
the trackas fast passage was forced. The
only trains that arrived during the day anywhere
near their usual time, were those on the Lowell
and Fitchburg roads. The Worcester road was
completely blockaded. Not more than one train
got through either way during the day, and this
morning no train had arriyrd at IL O'clock
The New Haven train left the depot of the
Worcester road at - o'clock this morning, with
nee engines. and got stuck at the Washington
street crossing. They got through after while,
however, but at half past nine o'clock the train
had only reached Newton Corner, distance of
about seven miles.
The Newton special train started from Newton
Lower Falls yesterday morning, but could not
work its way down to the main track. The engine
got out of wood and water, and was drawn inglo
rious gack to the depot by horses. The animals
tugged upon their huge load with an air of triumph
seemingly tickled with the thought that their
great rival was completely FUSED up
The first train from Salem over the Eastern
Railroad came in with three engines and large
snow-plough, at Ia clock,
At Lynn the engines and plough were thrown
rom the track by the immense body OF snow, and
the train was detained vt that place two hours
Additional force oft more engines and another
plough was obtained by sending messenger to
Salem--and the train came up drawn BY five en-
gines. Passengers VINO left Salem yesterday at
one o'clock, were detained on the route all night,
andwere taken up and brought to Boston this
noon.
