AUGUSTA BURIED IN SNOW
The Trains as they Appeared Stages
Blockaded Business at a Standstiil

At twenty-five minutes of eleven Welnes-
day evening snow commenced to fall
Without interruption it continued to fall,
and at twelve o'clock last night it was still
falling. while the wind was playing hide and
seek with il IN every niche and corner,
down the streets and up the alley ways. The
morning train from Bangor arrived here
about an hour behind time. two engines were
attached to the train with snow pillow to
clear the way. Reports from Jewetts up
train were Continually coming in. The first
report was 10 the effect that the train was
stuck in Congress street station, then at Var
mouth At one O'Clock TWO engines brought
the train into the Augusta station
TO the journal reporter who questioned
some of the railroad men the reply was that
at nearly every station the train had been
stuck. At South Gardiner the train was
unable to get under way for about an hour
and half. The two engines were obliged
after many trials 10 IAhitch and go ahead to
clear the track. Coming back they litched
to the cars and succeeded in leaving the sta
ton at about p. The train kept on and
at last reached Bangor at 10 p NJ. 1t was
stuck at Carmel for about six hours.
Jewctts down train from Bangor reached
Augusta depot about 80 p. NJ. For about
an hour it was held fast in drift about
twenty-five rods from the station Nearly
twenty five men were KEEP, shovelliug about
the station all day. When it got into the de
pot it was cancelled and a stream of people
wendell their way to the hotels. For more
than two hours the men worked in
getting the engines supplied with coal and
water. The cars were left on the side track
and the engines were over two hours in
getting ready for the early start this morning
6.l5 o'clock was the time decided upon by
the conductor for starting this morning.
In addition to the other ditlicutie, Of get
ting the engines housed, one of the tenders
got of the track and the brake bar was
broken. But patience and hard work finally
saw every thing ship shape for the storm.
After the arrival of this train the report
came that all trains for the night were can
celled, the $50 up train not having ar
rived in Portland
The mail carriers, though having but little
mail to deliver, were nevertheless husv in
collecting all day long. Many of the stages
succeeded in reaching Augusta, but few at
tempted to leave. The stage driver from
Weeks Mills finally reached Augusta after
getting his horse through drifts that in places
came above the horses back. The Togus
stage left roguS at S.l5 and reached thi, CITY
at l0.15. The stage coming from Liberty
was obliged to get an OK team to pull il
through. The Winthrop stage left this
mornin" an dispatch states that it arrived
all right at Winthrop. At last accounts the
Litehdeld, Mt Vernon and Belgrade stages
hadn't arrived Considering the amount of
snow which fell. together with the drifting
winds, this storm was surprise even to the
old inhabitants

AN INTERESTING COLLECTION
Coins that would GLADDEN. the Heart OF
Numismatist.

The heart of a numismatist would be
gladdened by look at the collection Of
ancient coins in the possession of Captain
Charles E. Nash Of this city. They were
collected in Italy during the administration
of President Franklin Pierce by a res
ident official who presented them to
Captain Nash Most of them were issued in
the very earliest days Of the Christian Era,
and some of them probably antidate Christ.
They are in remarkably good state of pre-
head of the Emperor Hadrain being remark
ably so. The features are still plain and
one acquainted with Roman history would
have no difficulty in identifying thu face from
the cuts Of Hadrian given in the books. A
number Of coins of Constantine 300 A. D.,
are to be found in the Captains collection,
and many others more ancient and valuable
Aside from the intrinsic value of collection
like this, which must be considerable, there
are associations which render them even more
valuable. As one holds them in his hand it
requires no great effort of the Imagination to
conceive that some of these very piece, of
money were used 10 pay the Roman soldiers
with, or may have been the very "sesterces'
bet upon a gladiatorial favorite at some great
contest in the arena. One may almost con
eeive some one of these coins worn with
usage and bearing the age Of many centuries
to have been 1.-THE widows mite" Such relics
have a mission to perform more than to graf
fly curious and passing glance at antigua
ran novelties. They make the past real,
they impress upon the mind of the present
the truth of history. Hadrian no longer
seems a shadowy name standingi in the annals
of a past so remote 10 seem scarcely sep
arated from the mythologes of the preceding
ages He becomes reality. Here is coin
issued by his own order and bearing his own
likeness. SO of all the characters of history
whose faces appear on these coins. one
would scarcely expect coins of the present
age to be preserved as long. The custom in
the days of antiquity, when banks and safety
deposit vaults were unknown and undreamed
Of was to secure ones mousy and yaluables
by conceaIing them. The great extent to
which this custom prevailed accounts for the
large number of these old coins which have
been unearthed in modern times.
