Further Particulars From the Storm
Swept Regions of tho East.
Boston, Jan. 2S.-Dispatches to the
Associated Press from numerous points in
New England tonight donot indicate any
substantial improvement in the state of
affairs resulting from the snow blockade.
The weather remains cold, the high winds
continue TO prevail and the snow is still
drifting to such an extent that the puny
efforts of the largest gangs Of shoyellers
and the onslaught of the most powerful
snowplows driven BY many locomotives
are practically useless. As fast as the
tracks are cleared the snow drifts in and
fills the cuts again, occasionally hemming
in the suowplows and again packing SO
closely before them that it becomes as i'm
~penetrable as q stone wall, shattering
the great pillow shares or tossing
them aside into the bitches, Here
and there 3 blockaded train is dug
out and goes. on its way to its destination,
while others which have been moving are
brought to q ~stand-still. Some lines are
SO fortunate. as TO be little impeded. At
Newport, II. l., the temperature has been
below. zero for four days and the wharves
and harbor are fullo of ice, rendering nay
igation difficult and hazardous. Farm
ington, Me-, is surrounded by nov drifts
fifteen feet deep and has been cut of
from the rest of,the world for three days.
The first Maine Central train since
Wednesday came in this afternoon.
Waterbury, VT, is similarly circum-
stanced, and Montpelier, st. Johnsburg
and Barreare mt mnoh better off,
TnE woRsT EVER KNOWN.
