TuE WEATHER the last week has been Just
r.-it-sunshine and shower alternating in
ezl-tly desirable proportion. For day or

ing ahead too rapidly-the blade, the stalk
and the stem getting an undue start of the
r1ot,-but tender plants can well dis
pense with any visits from Jack Frost just
now.
In digging for a water pipe Hyde &
Fosters store, corner of Main and Barre
Street, last week, the ground was found
frozen foot or more about the pipe, and the
water frozen in the pipe.
