OSNosAAoA ShOn u Hdu IL, IN aDun-
dance, the past week, and we've got more
than enough of it now. Don't know what
to do with it all. Lying around loose, in
immeasurable quantities. Heaps on heaps
of it piled away for future use, and plenty
more a-coming. Snow! Snow Snow
If the crystallized vapor were only buck
wheat-four, we of The Mountain wouldn't
want for clippers" for some time to come,
to be sure
In and of itself, we entertain no par tic
ular objection to snow. In fact, we rather
like it. 1t is only when it indulges in
that peculiar freak known as drifting, that
we are down on it. 1t has been drifting
latterly. Hence, we are down on the
snow.
Drifting Well, yes. The winds have
been. out on & holiday for week, and have
done little or nothing during all that time
but rattle, and scatter, and shake out, and
pile up in prodigious mountains of fantas-
tic design all the snow that finds its way
down-and that's no small amount
Our railroad was blocked up and rem
dered impossible two days by it. During
that period, We were practically cut off
from communication with the world We
have no telegraph tere, you know. Snow
is good thing, and it is baG thing. In
this case, it was bad thing.
L is good thing when i, affords the
farmer "a speedy means of transportation
to market for his produce. That's what's
the matter with it now. The farmer is
taking advantage of this good old state of
affairs, we notice. He comes to town
three times per day, with full load each
time. His terms are cash, so he is making
money out of it.
Seeing that ''there's not a smile but
has its sigh," and that "every pleasures
linked with SORROW" perhaps We ought not
to expect the great blessing of good, big
snow-shower, without at the same time
making calculations for the small draw
back of an accompaniment in the shape of
quaint, quaggy drifts. This view of the
subject impresses US go forcibly as the
correct one, that we proceed at once 10
quit saying anything more about it.
