The state Of excitement in which people
of the present day live, the demands of busi-
ness, the struggle for wealth, position, or
even a bare living, all Of which were never

the brain which makes sound and healthy

And then how easy things go wrong?
And how easily, as thousands know,
every thing can be made to go right again.
All the functions OF the body are under
the control of the nerves. And even sound
organs work to cross purposes when con

A BLIZZARD MONDAY.


Roads Badly Drifted.
The hard wind and snow storm which
prevailed during the early hours of Mon
day was somewhat OF the nature OK a biz
zard; it was extensive and not con fined to
the limits OF Vermont. The thermometer
remained at two above zero until toward
evening, when it began to lower slowly.
About ~ inches of the beautiful fell, be-
ing by far this heaviest fall of the season.
The Hinssburgh, Pittsburgh via Grand
Isle, and KeeseviIle stages could not make
their trips. The driver of the Plattsburgh
stage made nn effort but got only to
the Heineberg bridge, couple
miles out OF the city where he was
compelled to return by the binding storm.
which had piled q good part OF tHe
snow into the road, the drifts being
several feet high. Nothing was heard from
the other stages 1t is quite probable that
Mr.. Palmer, proprietor of the Ilnesburgh
stage, made an attempt to deliver the mail
to this city and found the roads impossible.
Large seighs were substituted for tho wheel
cars on the street railway.
The through trains were more or less be-
hind schedule time, but the fault was not
with the Central Vermont, the delay being
on connecting roads. The mail trains from
Boston wero three and five hours late re-
| speedway. the mai car via ltuIanu pelns
attached to the flyer, which was three hours
lato. A special train was made up at Rut-
land and run through to Essex junction OH
the mail trains time
Tho through trains from Boston via
White River Junction suffered the most in
Mondays blizzard. The Northern railroad
from Concord to White River Junction had
a very severe experience. One train was
nearly IA hours in making 20 miles. The
mail train, due here at 5:l5 p. m. Monday,
got in about midnight. The express due at
| 1870 p. m, was eight hours late and the
nigh t'treiu about five hours behind time. Pas
sengers on the lrst-named train had O start
ling experience between Manchester and
| Concord In the midst OF almost a cyclone
of wind and snow the glass of nearly every
window on side of each In three or
binary passenger cars was suddenly shat
tered into fragments and thrown among the
passengers, followed by driving snow. The
air was full Of snow that many OF those
on board did not know the cause OF the
disaster, and more or less Of them thought
! it was an accident to the train. The ladies
on board were greatly frightened and were
escorted into the cars which were unln jured.
1t proved that the train had passed loco
motive with a snow plow on the other track,
and it was the frozen snow thrown by the
pillow that broke the car windows.

The three guns were found in the yard

not be easily concealed. There were $l5 in
change in the cash register but they did not
moddle with that.
Chief Dumas has no idea at what hour Of
the night the burglary was committed.
