The Winter of 174l.

One year ago the New Haven Pala-
dunn searched for a colder winter than
that of 1884 and selected TAI as
specimen. In that year the snow, which
covered the whole country as early as
the 18th of November, was still found
the next April covering the fences. In
January tent was maintained on
Charles River, Boston, for the entertain
ment of travellers. From February %,
George Washington's ninth birthday,
until March 6, the people crossed the
Sound on the ice every day from STRAIT
ford, Conn.,, to Long Island, distance
of three leagues. Even as far east as
New London the ice extended into the
Sound as far as could be seen from the
town, and Fishers Island was united to
the main land by asolid bed. OnMarch
%, the Boston News Letter reports that
the people living on Thompsons Island
had crossed over to Dorchester to church
on the ice for fifteen preceding Sundays.
AS late as the 9th of July letter from
New London, Conn, reports on the east
side Of the Connecticut River body of
ice as large as two carts can draw, clear
and solid, and adds very artlessly that
lit might lie there a month longer, were
1t not that SO many resort out Of curios-
ity to drink punch made out of it." On
the 18th of July snow was still lying in
a mass in the town of Ipswich, Mass,
nearly four feet thick. But the most
marvellous record of that season is the
statement made by Alonzo Lewis, author
Of the annals of Lynn, Mass, that
: Francis Lewis, the signer of the Dec
laration of Independence, drove his
horse from New York to Barnstable, the
whole length of Long Island Sound, on
the ice"

ANIMAL DOOR IN MILK.-A cores
pendent of the Rutland Herald, thus
writes to that paper For the benefit OF
those who fear animal odor in milk clos
ed up and suddenly cooled, please sug-
gest to them to try this experiment
Pour the warm milk from the COW into a
clean bottle, smell of it to see if there is
any animal odor about it cork it up
tight and plunge it Immediately in the
snow, and just before it freezes take ii
out and smell of the milk again. Try
this experiment several times with milk
from different cows and write me the re-
suits. l deem this point of great inter
est to the Vermont dairymen, as some Of
the butter expounders have been mis-
leading them on this point.
