three fourths Of an inch. and was Of that
sticky consistency that makes it pack
easy and fills the heart of the small boy
with delight.

new sled for Christmas present had it

had formed thin film of the slipperiest
kind. Men walked with particular care
and often cut a ridiculous figure by hav-

angle. The boys on their sleds slid
merrily down the sidev ks wherever
tae incline Of the streets would give the
sled momentum.
Large boys who felt themselves beyond
the childish fun of coasting on a sled
stood on the corners and pelted eacf

NOTES OF TIE FLOOD. Mr.. Marshall Fa-
vorltc, residing south of Hunting Creek, on
the suburbs of the town, was one of the chief
sufferers from the flood his fences and the
soil from his lot having been swept away.
Mr.. N. G. Croft has been appointed by the
County Commissioners to supervise the re.
pair of the road from the fording above
Jones Mill to the Corporation line. The
work is progressing rapidly and will cost
from $3.50 to $500.
The gardens washed out by the flood have
been repaired IN many instances, while some
yet remain bed OF rocks and gullies.
The country has contributed nearly three
millions of dollars to the Conemaugh Valley
sufferers: in proportion to population Me-
chanicstown's share would he $50: it did not
meet it, but, having sufferers of her own, has
probably done her duty.
Edward Magline of Emmtsburg lost six
children and John Coal, a student at Mt. St.
Mary's College lost twenty three relatives by
the flood in Conemaugh Valley.
Mr.. Edward Barrck of Utica Mills has two
sons in Johnstown: one, with his family. cs-
capped in ample time, the other, unmarried,
remained in his place Of business until the
water lose to such height that he had to
swimfor his life: his escape was thrilling
