night, ana at o'clock all the principal
streets were swarmed with happy young
people. Workingmen were almost over

single sleighs are taking the place OF
vehicles with wheels. and the welcome
sound of merry sleigh bells is constantly
heard. Should more snow fall to-day,
the sleighing will be better than has
been known here for years.
