The Severe Winters of the Past.


 The record of 'shard' winters ill Connecti- cut during the past two centuries, which stand out conspicuously, will be looked back to with considerable interest. During the win ter of 1872-3 there were thirty-six zero mornings and 102 days of good sleighing in Hartford. The winter of 1856-7 was very severe The winter of 1837-8 was noted for deep snows. The winter of1S15-16 was also noted for it's terrible snow storms. In February, 1791, snow fall of four days duration occurred, the snow falling six feet deep on level. The winter of 1761-2 was very cold with deep snows The winter of 1741-2 was famous throughout New England for deep snows and intense cold weather The first deep snow fell on the 18th of November, giving good sleighing, which lasted until the 20th of April. making 158 days in succession of. good sleiesiing in Connecticut. In February, 1717, occurred the greatest snow storm ever known in this country. It commenced on the 17th and lasted until the 24th, the snow falling from ten to twelve feet on level. This snow made a remarkable era in New England and old people in relating an event would say that it happened so many years before or after the great snow. In February, 1891, terrible snow storm occurred. In February, 1869, the snow fell so deep that 8 great number of deer came from the woods for food and were killed by the wolves It will be noticed that all of our great snow storms have occurred in February.

The Court Record.

 Superior Court-CriminaI Stde-Judge
 Hitchcock.
 This court came in yesterday morning at 10 o'clock
 At the opening of the court State Attorney Doolittle asked for a bench warrant for Fred erick Perry, who had been brought to the State from Massachusetts on acquisition. The order was made. Perry's associate in the masked burglary at Beacon Falls has al- ready pleaded guilty, but Perry, who escaped arrest at the time, denies his guilt. The man will probably be tried at this term of court. He is charged with an intent to kill, as the burglar when entering the house of MT. Twitchell had and displayed 8 revolver. Iverson will probably be brought from State prison to testify.
 Charles s. Riggs, who was found guilty of murder in the second degree, was brought down from the jail in the forenoon for sen- tence. Judge Sanford sentenced him to the State prison for life, for the murder of Rol- lin T. Bunnen at Naugatuck last August. His honor rehearsed the finding of the jury murder in the second degree. Riggs, who stood by an iron pillar, looking pale and calm, was almost overcome with sorrow. He sat down in chair by the pillar and covered his face with one hand, his whole attitude denoting the most extreme prostration. In 8 few minutes he left the court room in charge of Deputy Sheriff Higgins, who took him down the side stairs.
 Just before the close of the court in the afternoon mittimus was issued for the con-

Revs L. T. Bennett, W. B. Vibbert and Edwin s. Lines, committee of the convoca- tion of New Haven county, which closed its session Wednesday, drafted the following fine tribute to the memory of the late Rev. Henry Townsend born in Middlebury in 1895, died in New Haven September 28, 1881.
 While engaged in prosperous mercantile pursuits he was impressed with conviction that he could render greater service to the Master in the work of the ministry than ln secular calling. Encouraged by the late Rev. Dr. Croswell to follow his convic- tiens, he placed himself under the guidance of that venerable clergy man for 8 course of theological study, ana was admitted to the diaconate by the Right Rev. Bishop Brownell October 5, 1889, and to the priesthood November 12, 1840. He immediately entered on the discharge of min isterial duty, and officiated with ardent zeal and great fidelity many years in the parishes of Bethany and East Haven also in the par ish at Westville. Removing to the diocese of New York he assumed charge at the parish at Stockport, where he continued three years. Recalled to his native diocese, he became rector, in succession, of the parishes at Thompsonville, at Suffield and at Yalesville, officiating nearly three years in the latter par ish. Studying to show himself approved un- to God in works of faith and labors of love; and being of fervent spirit, of de- vout demeanor, of earnest elocutlon, and of practical wisdom, the Masters work prospered under his ministra- tions. His health at length failing, and the infirmities of advanced age increasing, he re- tired from stated duty continuing, however, to render such occasional service as oppor- tunity and his strength allowed: After a long period of patient suffering his course on earth was finished and, we doubt not, he was welcomed into paradise with the invit. ing plaudit: "Well done, good and faithful servant." His brethren in the ministry, cherishing his memory, and remembering his devout example, pray that they may be melted to increased earnestness, and be at all times also ready for the summons to 'the excellent glory"
