AYOUNG LADY TELLS A REPORTER
HOW 1T SEEMS TO BE SHOWED IN.

A viyacious yound lady student of the
University of Vermont, who alighted in
Burlington Thursday at l o'clock, af-
ter an IS hours stay on blockaded train,
favored Burlington Free Press reporter
with an account of her experiences on
the Central division of the Central Yer
mont railroad, as follows:
1--WE realized by the way it was snow
ing that there would be some blOckading,
but didn't think we were going to be the
unlucky ones until shortly after We left
Middlesex, when the train began to go
slower and slower. Finally we stopped,
and then we could tell by the spasmOdic
whirring of the engine wheels that they
were trying in vain to back us out of the
cut we had got into. This was about 6
o'clock Wednesday night, and as soon as
it became evident that we were to stay,
the gentlemen passengers and trainmen
got off and walked back to Middlesex,
where they said they would go to the no
tel and bring back nice supper for the
ladies. Well, when they came back they
had -four sack full of crackers and three
cans of corned beefl 1t seems that there
were three trains behind us which had
got stuck about the same time we did,
and they had hustled into Middlesex and
cleaned out the hotel previous TO our
arrival. But the crackers and beef were
speedily made into sandwiches and by
the way that ravenous train load of 80
people went for them you would have
thought it was a spread at DelmOnico's
ut was pretty dry, but when we heard
a report that there were six trains stalled
between us and Essex junction and that
the people on them could not get any
thing to eat we were perfectly contented
with our fare. Well, the evening wore
on, and as there was no sleeper attached
to our train we finally began to arrange
ourselves at some angle with the car seats
which would allow us to sleep. The
man with red whlskers dropped off with
one shoe on and one hand hanging out
into the aisle clutching necktie and
pair of cuffs. The man who complained
of the heat went to sleep in bear skin
OvercOat, and the rest of us were getting
drowsy when a sound like distant thun-
der began to come from one of the seats
over by the stove. The thing was con-
tagious, and pretty soon there was a
wicked sounding medley of snores and
groans. When the wakeful ones could
stand it no l0nger they took turns going
around and shaking the worst offenders.
In this way we all got few hours of
sleep. About 6 o'clock the trainmen
went out on another foraging excursion,
this time to the farm houses. The peo-

DEFERRED COUNTY ITEMS.


The storm of Feb. 18th was a veritable
tempest, but it was followed by anothers
one week from that day "that beat the
record" since the great storm of March,
'8S. Fully two feet of snow fell which
was piled into immense drifts in places,
the highways getting their share which
were passable by Tuesday morning. I'll o
storm was cold one, mercury being
near zero most of the time with the wind
blowing at the rate of quite forty miles
an hour. On Tuesday it was clear and
cold, and at intervals during the day,
eyes were suspiciously cast heavenward,
followed by an exclamation, another
storm is brewiug!" The men who were
at work like beavers on the road, "aTch-
ing through from the effects of the
storm the day rior, feet inclined to hit
the prophet over the head with their
spades. However, he was right for on
Tuesday night another blizzard set in
and continued through the day WedRes-
day, fully as severe as either of its imme-
diate predecessors. Then the prophet
of the day before, Laughed in his Sleeve
but was one of the first to be out with
his spade and snow pillow Thursday
morning. Lumbermen say the snow is
plump six feet in the woods. Verify
this is trying winter for the old settler
who has been accustomed to warm, be-
cause we do not have any such weather
as we used to or so much of it either.
Although not favorite at all times,
spades have been trumps this week.
Washington's birthday, 1913, will be re-
membered as one when people could
hardly get to the barns to feed and wa

THE SPECIAL VILLAGE MEETING

THE SPECIAL VILLAGE MEETING.
Next Monday afternoon the village
will meet and vote upon the proposed
Sewage system. With the necessities
of the village in this regard all our read
ers are familiar. We need sewage and
the only question is "what is best to be
dore to secure it," The survey has been
made, the plans have been published in
the village papers and in pamphlet form,
and our readers are familiar with all but
the enabling act'' passed by the Legis-
lature of 1892 The law is before us as
we write. 1t is in the form of an amend
ment to the charter of the village.
Section 1, provides that the village is
authorized and empowered, on the vote
of majority of the voters legally
warned, to construct and maintain the
aforesaid sewage system. And also to
borrow not exceeding 1000 for time
BOT longer than 20 years nor for more
than five per cent interest, payable semi
annually. Section 2, prescribes how the
bOhuo oAi"ll Oo Ok uOu anu lsSutu, anu d
statement of the authority conferred by
this act, which shall be conclusive evil
dence of the fact of the liability of the
village to any bona fide holder of these
securities. Section 8, relates to the route
of the sewers and the usual methods of
arriving at damages and settling dis
putes of right of way. Section 4, provides
that the sewers shall be built in the CEN
ter of the street as far as practicable.
"And the trustees, or majority of them,
shall determine as near as may be the
average cost per foot for the entire sewer;
and the abutting owners on each side of
the streets through which said sewer is
constructed shall each be assessed to
pay for one-third the average cost of as
many feet of said sewer as such abutting
owners has fronting on such street."
Section 5, provides that such owners
shall be liable to assessment as soon as
said sewer is completed through that
portion of the street upon the frontage
of which said abutting owner is liable to
be assessed. 1t then provides for the
collection of these assessments in the
same manner as taxes.
