 Mrs. Livermore has come and gone and given us two lectures of remarkable ability, interest and forcefulness. Her visit will never be forgotten by those who were fortunate enough to meet her and hear her. A very good audience, consid- ering the condition of the roads, greeted her Monday evening. Probably no other speaker in the world could have drawn out so large house as gathered Wednesday evening, in spite of the terrible storm. All who made an effort to get out felt abund- antly repaid. Now let all, old and young, go to work~and prove that they have been really profited by her noble and inspiring instructions.

 The great snow storm struck Holland impartially-at least we all think that it did not slight us. We've no desire to try 18th, gave all who were obliged to be out m it, for few minutes even, all the ex- perience they want in a life time. Wedo not hear of any who were frozen or buried in the snow, but 1st Selectman Bradley M. Sears was at the Town hall on town busi. ness that day, and about o'clock started for home, some 9 miles on the Rockville road, on foot, leaving his horse at the County hotel He managed to reach Chapman hill, near the house of Fl. E. Pease, about exhausted. MT. Pease heard his cries for assistance, went to his relief, and got him into his house, where he rest ed and finally reached home, short dis tance. from Peases, about 8 o'clock. He came near giving up two or three times, and says he can mention no pecuniary con- sideration that would induce him to repeat the journey under similar circumstances. Most of the hands at the belt shops did not go home, but remained at various houses
 
 other extremities frosted. The main roads and many of the others are broken out af- ter fashion, but the weather this evening (rueSday) indicates that the snow will soon be very much reduced in quantity.
 While breaking out the roads around the street Frederick Young and the New man boys had squabble over a shovel, and got considerably excited. The result is MT. Young is under doctors care, and the boys may have suit brought against them.
