on the island for brigade drill. One

Snow drifts about six feet high, at
the "Y," Thursday morning last,
caused the train men much trouble
and great deal of shoveling. AS
consequence the parlor car and one
coach were left on the main track,
and the engine came to the depot
reefed down-that is. it had but the
baggage car and smoker. There was,
however, plenty of room for what few
passengers left. The rest of the cars
were hooked on when the main track
was reached.
