lowed by slight increase in temperature by

common music here, and every day the snow
lasts increases the number of sleighing vehi-
cles. Many persons have in the last few days
telegraphed to New York dealers for cutters

lest the snow might disappear before the ar
rival of the vehicles. Sleighs have been
hired out at the rate of So per hour. To-

some places it is and in some places it is not.

James Merriam at Indian Orchard, Mass, was
also not taken into fellowship on account of

under the leadership of DIR. Webb, of Bos-
