The Tiffin weekly tribune. (Tiffin, Ohio) 1859-1868, 1866-12-20

TUE Fmsr Snow Of the season
fell on Saturday night of last week,
and Sabbath morning a dry, sandy,
snow to the depth Of two inches COW
cred the earth aud surrounding OBJ 4
jects. Then came into requisition
the shovel and broom, for the new ele-
meDt was almost intractable as that
much sand aud must be removed from
the walks aud way places. And tho

lections of school-boy days crowd 10 !
upon our memory when with biting
fingers andfrOzeu ears,.-with our hats
full Of snowy missiles, we in compa-
ny with others, charged upon all op-l
posing crowds with all the enthusiasm
Of veterans on the feld of sterner
strifa, or assaulted some fertilization
of an Imaginative enemy, which made
our hearts leap with imagined deeds
of noble daring, as we drove them
from their works, Casually fence Of
cord woodl or forced them to copitu-
late. How many Of these lived to
engage in mortal combat on bloodier
fields, aud even some were found up
on the sido forced to surrender !
What frivolous foreshadowing OF that
which was to concern many of us in n
matter Of life and death.
