A BREEZY LETTER.


 B. G. Platt reports that we people in Kent do not know what cold weather is. We ought to go to Florida in order to ap- preciate it. Rumor says bread placed in the stove oven the night before ito rise" was found frozen the next morning and that too in the sunny part of the land of flowers.
 The snow storm was quite severe in Kent. The mountain roads were as bad ly drifted as in the time of the great bliz- gard of 'S8 but the snow was not as deep in the fields and ravines.
 Fred Boston is seriously i'll with acute Bright's disease.
 Several of our good townspeople are with hard colds and the grip. The sextons of the Episcopal and Con gregational church were both sick bed last Sunday. It looks as if the piles of snow around the churches had something to do with it but good authorities, the village doctors, say not so. One parson with an able lieutenant got ready for a congregation but none came, the other wisely remained in the house nourishing ssthe shankn ofa severe attack of grip.
