DOVER. N. H., February, 22.-No such
storm as today has visited this section
since March, 1888. Today eighteen inches
of snow have fallen. The wind, blowing
forty miles an hour, piled the snow in
drifts ten feet high. Trains were all
double headers and over an hour late.
All trains on the Dover & Winnipiseogee
railroad were cancelled at noon. Col
lier's Hoss and HosS company, booked
for the Opera house here this evening,
got as far as Rochester and will have to
stay there tonight The Cocheco mills
shut down at 5 o'clock to allow the oper-
atives to go home before dark The COM
pany sent many home in teams. Many
people are without lights tonight. All
the kerosene used here comes from SOM
ersworth, and as none has been deliv-
cred here for three days. the supply of
the store keepers run out. All freight
trains over railroads are cancelled.
