 North Haven. HOW THE PEOPLE IN THE TOWN MET THE BLIZZARD. March 17.-It is decided by those who know from experience that we have had 8 regular western blizzard here with the excep- tion of the extreme cold. School was dis missed at noon on Monday and sonae of the scholars carried home and others kept over night by families near the school house. At | the center school was closed at noon and one teacher carried by two men with difficulty, ] on account of the binding snow, to the near aa hnuaa vvh ha ! The other teacher, Miss Louise Linsley, went home on horseback, riding in the style of one hundred years ago. although the man was obliged to alght several times to assist the ! horse. They were more than an hour going l one mile.
 l Mr. $. F. Linsley went to the woods near his house Wednesday morning and by l actual measurement found the snSw two and l one half feet on a level. Others report snow I three feet deep on a level, and drifts from 12 | to A feet high.
 In the midst of all this cold, snowy | weather l.. P. Futile received g package of 1 lovely flowers in bud and blossom with glos | sy green leaves from F. c. Bradley in Pasa- dena, Cal. A greater contrast to the sur l roundings here can hardly be imagined. The ! flowers were quite fresh and fragrant. George Crockett has been i'll with rheuma- tisna some weeks past, but went out with
 others to dig snow paths and is now sick with | pleurisy.
 F. E. Jacobs, 8 member of the board of
 selectmen, with cemmendabIe zeal obtained
 the help of neighbors with their teams and
 | immediately opened communication with
 l Wallingford go that milkmen from North
 Haven were able to go with their regular
 route without much delay, while it is said that
 | r. H. and B. D. Todd, whose milk is carried
 ! to New Haven. were obliged to lose about
 l two hundred quarts, the roads being impas-
 sable.
 | Yesterday afternoon there were about four
 hundred men and two engines st work on the
 I railroad just north of the station clearing
 l snow from the west track. During the storm the vane was blown from | the flagstaff on Pierpont park. and the circu- I lar window on the west end of Memorial hall 1 blew out and several feet of snow fell in on | to the stage. The scuttle also blew from the | roof.
 1 It is decided to postpone the entertainment ' to be given by Professor Hibbard until a lat 1 CT date account of the almost impossible | condition of the roads. Another child, boy, was added to the family of Julius Blakeslee on Thursday. He ! now has three boys. Prospect. MARCH 17.-The ladies society met at the lecture room last Wednesday.
