A great suow storm, followed by
high blizzard winds ragged through the
West and the Canadas last week. We
were introduced to the switch end of
it on Friday night. Great damage was
done in many sections, resulting in
loss of life. Railroads were blockad-
ed and business suspended. Vermont
escapes SO far severe storms this win
ter.
Zion's Herald, the popular Method
list organ, which is doing valiant work

largely devoted to the Vermont Con-
ference last week and should be read by

this staunch Methodist organ will do

their pictures" printed and widely
circulated, they have only to get out
big puff for the patent medicine adj

advertising is the popular way just at

have done it by means of published
pictures and a good medicine.
We note that the schools in certain

question of whether the Columbian

wicked, avaricious managers can be
effected by anything it will be public

God-fearing Elements of this nation
will refuse both countenance and pat
ronage to thing that knows no Sun
day. Let it be said in loudest tones
that we will not attend the fair if it
opens on Sunday.
