 We make the following extract from the letter of Hartford correspon- dent, one of our townspeopIe. She says: Despite the gravity of the situation, when the dead lay unburied, the sick without medical attendance, and the poor shivering and hungry, the very imp of fun was abroad. Decorous bachelors bedecked themselves in fan tastic hats and garb, and holding con- ventionalisms iu abeyance, the young and old gave rein to jolly prank and nerry-makiug. To-day, physicians are mounted, two of whom just came c.attering down the sidewalk. What. Doctor, you out visiting your patients to-day ? said passerby to one Yes, , was the reply. T must, they'll get we'll, if don't"
 We quote as follows from a letter written Us bs R N. Bragg, dated East Arlington. Vt. March 14th "We have just had the greatest fall of snow here that has been known for fifty years. Commenced showing Sunday morning, the l1th inst, and kept at it until the evening of the 18th inst Snow fell to the depth of four feet. There is now all of seven feet of snow in the woods here, and there will not be great deal more numbering this season. Sugaring will be late as 1t will be some time be- fore farmers can get into their woods to tap their trees. I will send you some syrup if we have anything of run."
