last week is convalescent.
Last Sunday was very quiet day here.
Not even a church bell pealed To break
the stiffness. Only few pedestrians
were seen during the day; this almost
unbToken silence was caused by a heavy
tall of snow the previous night which.
with that already on the ground, rendered
walking rather difficult matter.
One of our citizens went 10 take a
look" at the bay Wednesday. He reports
il like the Artic region down there.
Our town was sufficiently alive on
Wednesday and the merry jingle OF
sleigh bells was heard ever and anon.
Not for years has the sleighing been so
good rs il now is, and both old and young
are enjoying the sport.

one of the Indian River Islands with fuel
to keep his family from freezing in IA zero
atmosphere, George Burton's boat has
been frozen fast in the river and he las

fastening his craft in midstream at even

a field glass that his frozen body lay IN

reach the spot, for the ice would not bear
them. The boat and body are still there

An interesting mid mir conflict be-
teen regular. ordinary, every day Thom
as Cat and very large buzzard took
place in Snow Hill Tuesday. The buz-
zard was seeking for something with
which 10 allay its hunger when Tommy
made his appearance on the scene. I'm
mediately he was swOoped down upon,
clasped in the ialons of the bird of prey
and was soon sailing heavenward. Then
it was that poor Tommy began to realize
his situation and determining not To he
cat-as trophy. he clawed away for dear
life aud the mir was soon filled with fur
and feathers. Tommy was too much for
the buzznrd which loosed its hold upon
him and he came down in whirle- gig
fashion. but landed on MI fours in good
shape. and not much the worse for his
heavenward flight. Another case of buZ-
zard depreciation is reported TO have oc-
Cured near the depot on Monday. A
dog was run over by the north bound
train and the train had not gotten out Of
sight before flock of these scavengers
swooped down upon the poor canine and
tore him To pieces while vet alive. This
boldness results from the snow which
has covered the earth for the past two
weeks and prevented them from obtain
ing any manner of food except an occas.
ional rabbit or partridge overcome by
the intense cold weather. They also
killed couple of chickens in Miss Annie
Moore's poultry yard and were about TO
deyour third when the servant girl
frightened them away.
