The snow in Maine and Vermont is in many

Island, in Boston Harbor, saved the lives OF
three men found cinging to tho rigging of a
wrecked schooner, and the life saving crew at
Scltuate rescued fourteen men from two YES

done during forty eight hours on that part of
the coast than for the past ten years.

sidewalk into a cellar. A party of about sixty
ladies and gentlemen living on Staten Island

tho opera in New York They could not land,
owing 10 the severity of the storm, and were
compelled to remain on board the boat all
