PARIS is A MoUNIAINsIDE village
in Clarke county, Va. For severa,
weeks ths cold at that point in the Blue
Ridge has been intense. During the
storms of the holiday week nearly eve
ry house in the village, owing tc its Pc
culiar situation, was buried TO the
roofs in mammoth snow drifts, COM
pelling residents to cut tunnels, in
many instances fifteen or twenty feet
long,. to make exits. So completely
was the country overwhelmed with
snow that it was impossible to make
any headway in it with tile most pow
erful horses. Mrs. Kate Whitman, Il
widow, and her two children on Christ
mas Day were found frozen ID death.
While irving 10 break the road to Ber-
ryville on Tuesday, December 2S, three
men periShed in the snow. AT meet
ing of the men of the village it was re-
solyed to appoint committee of fif-
teen TO take charge of all the wood and
provisions in town. This was accord
ingly done, not without some opposi-
ton, and radical change in affairs
was soon effected. The committee
ruled the inhabitants with a strong
hand, compelling them to crowd in "a
bout twenty houses, where fires were
Kept going night ard day. This was
in order to economic fuel. Each man,
woman and child was given supply of
provisions twice day, while every
morning party of men was sent out
to battle the terrible snow and search
for fuel and birds, the latter being fro
zen to death by thousands. On Tues
day of last week Roger L. Cooper, a
resident of the village, succeeded in
making his way tc Berryville, from
which place sleighs containing med
icines and food were at once dispatch
ed to Paris. 1t is said that when Coop
er left Paris no less than 70 of the SOC
villagers were sick in bed.
