Some OF our pavementa sre literally
covered with ice, and many falls are
the consequence.
The boys. and even some girls make
Q habit Of Jumping on sleishs, rs they
pass along the streets.
The sleighing since the rain of Sat>
Grday night ia excellent, especially
where the roads are well broken and
worn smooth.
Many country roads, and especially
marrow lanes. were siTcc,ually closed
ed whith snow drifts, last week. aud
and some farmers experienced much
trouble in getting out with their teams.
Should there be Sudden thlw, &c.
compsnied toy an ordinary rain,
great flood would be inevitable. The
snow slonS the Hiddlccrees Is from
one foot to two feet deep.
Washing steps and payments on
these cold mornings is sheer folly. Bat

when the mercury falls.
The large bo ly ofsnows lying on the
fields is a great benefit % i"rniors.
There is sn old saying. when whoa'
plants are covered with n bOty Cf snow
during the winter months the yield Of

strong under the body of fnnow.
The protrscted cold weather, with
deep SHOWS il very severe on partrldg-
es. They ought to be protected by
building temporary shoIs or booths
near dwelling houses, to protect them
from the inclcmency of the weather,
and they ought to he fed daily with
grain when the earth is covered with
deep snows.
The several SHOWS which have re.
Gently fallen have nal very fine
sleighing in this vicinity, and the lov>
or. Of the exhi.irating sport seem To be
eni wing themselves highly. The mer-
ryingle'of the seigh bells are cons
stantly in ones ears, day and night,
and the very air is vocal with the joy
