fell Oh Wednesday last. Beginning
about ten o'clock in the morning it
continued with more or less severity
throughput the day. Snow flakes as

thing was covered with q sheet of
snow two or three inches deep. 1t
was a beautiful sight. The young
men and Juveniles indulged in an old
fashioned snow balling to their hearts
content. Every unfortunate individ-
ual who came in range was treated
to q shower of snow balls. Some got
mad and others took it good naturcd-
ly. 1t made no difference to the
snow ballers, however, rs they were

On Tuesday night last a burglar

entrance was made through the par
lor window opening on the piazza,

admitted the thief to the bed rooms.
The thief was evidently frightened Off
as he left several articles in tue par
lor where he had carried them from
other parts Of the house. This is the
