proved, and hopes to be out in few days.
The snow has been enjoyed by the young
folks of our town in sleighing and snow
balling; but while it gives them pleasure,
O. large number of persons were caught
without fuel, and have no doubt but many
were caught without necessary clothing.

ing, and hands are engaged clearing the
snow from the roofs The stores OF Messrs.
r. II. Fewell & Co., B. n. Craig, j. b. john
