MONkTON.

In school district No. =, there have
been nine deaths and six births during
the year 1876.
The depth of the snow is very
great, four feet on the level. Turning
is out of the question.
There were some parties fishing Oh,
Monkton pond short time since. but
had their labor for their pains, As they
went away emptier than they came.
The lovers of horse trotting have
scraped a track on Monkton canal for
the purpose of trying the speed of their
horses. But little business of this kind
has as yet been done.
Last Sunday there were no services
on Monkton Ridge, on account of i'm
passable roads, The surveyor started
out to break them out, got his team in
out of sight nearly, and thought it best
to abandon it until the wind stopped
blowing.
The farmers are trying to get their
ice houses filed with their store of ice.
but it is rather hard job for them, for
there is such body of snow on the top
of the ice, that as soon as a place Is
cut through the water boils up through
and covers the top.
1t is said by old people that it is the
hardest winter they have seen for many
years. Wells are nearly all dry, springs
dry or filed up with snow so as TO rem
der it impossible to get water from
them. Some of our farmers have to 90
from one-half to two miles to drive their
stock to drink.
