prevail, and the snow is still drifting to
an extent that the puny efforts Of the
gangs OF shovelers and the onsloughts
OF the most! powerful snow plows, driven
by many locomotives, are practically
useless. As fast as the tracks are cleared
the snow drifts in and fills them again,
occasionally hemming in the snow plows
and again packing 30 closely before them
that it becomes as impenetrable as o
stone weil, shatter,ng the great plow
| shares, or tossing them aside
into the ditches. Here and there a
blockaded train is dug out end goes on
Its way to it's destination, while
others who have been moving ere

ous. Pennington Me-, surrounded by

GREAT CESAR.
Pittstield, Mass, Jan. 28-Miles OF
freight cars are side tracked between here
and Albany with much perishable pro-
perty on board. Over one hundred be-
lated passengers are detained here.
Many OF them are withou: money, and
are obliged to sleep as best they can in
| the railroad station. Travel from here
can not be resumed before next week.
Fears are entertained that the coal cup
ply OF towns off the line of railroads will
become exhausted before the roads can
be opened. Many reports of suffering
among the poor are being received from
various points. The losses ERe stock
ore already considerable, farmers in
many instances being unable to reaah
their baYns.
