The bitter cold, clustering weather during the
past few days is q severe introduction to winter
In fact it would appear that the introduction was
rather overdone were it not so rap. The stage
cannot make its trips with that promptness that is
usual. Snow is now about sixteen inches deep,
and in some places badly drifted.
AS faithful chronicler, we relate an encounter
with burglar, on Sunday morning last. in one of
our uptown families. A young man, boarding
with the family, went TO his room on Saturday
night, without entering the sitting room, as usual
~ had been his custom. youth of about four
teen years, whom we will call Ed, a member of
the family, slept with the boarder. He was asleep
in the sitting room, waiting for the boarder to
come, and continued to sleep on until about three
or four o'clock in the morning, when getting
pretty well chilled, be went up stairs for addition
al covering. he came into the adjoining room to
the one occupied by the boarder who did not
hear him come up stairs, but woke up in time to
hear him gong down. Being but partly awake,
he supposed it TO be Ed. coming up. He spoke to
him, but got reply, and again with like result
By this time he got fully awake, and the idea
dawned suddenly upon his mind that il might be
some one else standing in his room in the dark.
After an energetic call to the supposed
burglar to "get out Of that" the boarder bounced
out of bed bent on q tussel with his antagonist.
AS he came out he hit his head against door,
anu thhluR tuis ioi SiiP lIcii HIS dssduaut ne
got hold of a chair and made vigorous assaults
about him without telling the intruder. Hearing
q noise below he concluded that his caller had
slipped out and was down stairs. He immediate
ly gave chase and was soon at the sitting room
door. Meanwhile Ed, hearing a noise above
and not knowing the boarder was in, concluding
very hastily as he heard some one coming down
stars that burglar was in the house up stairs,
and about TO make an entrance, sprang to the
door and held it. The bosrder made desperate
endeavor to open the door, and Ed on the other
side was just as strenuously exerting himself to
keep the villain out Both parties were desper-
a,ely in earnest, and the situation was exciting.
The boarder was plucky, although his hair was
higher than usual while Ed though badly demon
allied, was sticking to his post. Just as the board
er had backed off to make lunge to burst the
door in, Ed. sung out to his mother for help The
cry came just in time, and the familiar sound of
Eds voice checked the onward career Of
the outside gent. who suddenly realizing that with
the thermometer at Is below at o'clock in the
morning and nothing on but night shirt, it was
not healthy, retired At once in good order, and Ed
was master of the field. Thus ended the burglary.
