The ice storm of Yesterday did large
amount of damage to the shade trees in the
village. Many of the main branches were
split down, being severed from the trees Most
of the top limbs are twisted and broken. The
elms are suffering more than any other trees
from their heavy load; the sidewalks were
impossible in many places. The telegraph
and telephone communication is cut off to-
day, the wires being badly damaged. The
storm has hindered the progress on the ice
fields. Most all the fields will need planning

The Great Ice storm,

Thursday there was very little to be seen of
the effect Of the great sleet storm which
prevailed on that day but yesterday
1t was more evident, the frozen
rain, which fell during the night, add
ing to that which had already fallen. Every
limb and branch was sheathed IN a coating of
glistening ice, the effect of which as seen At
distance was very pretty. but it was

limbs in many instances were torn
of. On the road to Togus yesterday
morning the first teams coming to the CITY
were Obliged to carry woodchopper who
cleared away the limbs and tree trunks which
| obstructed travel. Tall birches and beeches
would be bowed completely over, their tops
| sweeping the ground. Between Gardiner and
South Gardiner travel was impeded BY these
bowing trees, pulled down by the great
weight of ice. Travellers by rail reported
that the forests were everywhere politely
nodding, and the telegraph and telephone
lines bearded with cices The crust be-
Meath the trees was generally strewn with
twigs and small branches snapped from the
parent stem. The FIRE alarm wire on the east
side was defunct on account of the ice. The
telegraph and telephone wires in the city and
connecting with outside points worked poorly.
The result was pauciiy of press dispatches
last night
| Last evening some additional sleet fell,
making the condition Of things still worse, if
anything. The dropping branches would
frequently strike the pedestrian in the face
and he was often obliged to stoop or lose hi.

time and their rails were all right. An Au-
gusta gentleman who drove to Whitefeld
yesterday, reported that he found several
fallen trees in his path, and shouldered one
while his horse crept beneath it. At one
point he drove for some distance through a
glittering vista of icicles, the trees bending
over from each side of the road and forming
a perfect arch above him. A sportsman was
much grieved last evening because of the
storm He stated that it was death to the
partridge and the favorite game bird would
be scarce in the State for several years. One
of its well known habits is to plunge into the
snow for shelter from the cold and large

was evidently case of love at first sight, or
of an engagement on purely business princi-
pies; for report says they met Monday, were
engaged Tuesday, published Wednesday, and
arranged for speedy marriage. Unfortu-
nately for the success of their plans, the
dsmsel was under age. Her relatives pro-
tested, threatened, and marriage certificate
could not be obtained. But the young cou-
pie had arranged to be married, were de-
termined to be married and they eloped.

terview, found them gliding over the iron
way to seek, under the laws of another State,
