Snow, with Its Attendant Evils.

Yesterdays weather was well suited to
Christmas. Tho day opened bright ind

out, and those on the streets moved along
rapidly, but tho CHEEKY look OIL nearly all
faces and the hearty exchange Of the com.
pliments OF tho season MS friend met

those abroad enjoyed the bracing mir.
After dinner it became cloudy and the
snow flakes filled the mir, md this
did not keep the people indoors, and tho
streets wcrc pretty well crowded until
about 0 o'clock last night, when tho snow
storm became SO severe that only those
whose business compelled them TO be out
were 10 BIO found OH the street.
Tho heavy snow also interfcred TO Il
considerable extent with the sleishing
parties mentioned elsewhere. The street
car horses bud the hardest time OF it, how
ever, and the drivers did not have q much
better 0 The trucks became badly
Clogged, even after the silt car had passed
along, and the cars were repeatedly or the
track,
BY Il O'Clock last night tho snow was
several inches deep and was still falling
thickly with no Indications Of stopping.
Many people were encountered last even.

experience was again to be undergone-a
twenty inch SNOW, which when melted
forms a mighty flood in the Ohio.
