The beautiful snow" as far as slelghing IL
concerned, has departed for the last time thls
winter we trust. The streets anil roads are le!.
in a terrible condition, being in places almost
impossible Oh account OF the water, slush,
snow and mud The lare from Dayton TO the
main road to Ottawa has been blocked witt
snow Tor about five weeks, So that all travel IL
by the way of Mr.. Olmstead's. The thaw anc
light showers have not raised the water IL
Fox river AT this place to very noticeaolS
degree. The ice Is still in the river, and has
probably become so sottened that II VIII do nc
serious damage to dams or bridges.
