Some of our people are fearing a
blizzard akin to the one we had in
this country in 1856, as this De-
cember is much like the one in '85.
Well, it may come, but one thing is
certain, and that is we will with our
weather service be notified from S to
IL hours in advance of the storm so
that we will have time to prepare for
its fury. Watch the weather
signals these days for we
know not when a fearful storm
may sweep in upon US. Christmas day
1885 was remarkably warm, rs or

The 'creamery craze" has struck sew
eral towns on the Santa Fe route, in the
western counties. The Syracuse Repub.
lican mentions the proposition of gen.
tleman to establish creamery IN SYRIA
cuse as follows: THAT Mr.. Fritz would
establish creamery here. provided the
citizens of this place would give him a
bonus of $500 cash, one-half when the
machinery arrived at the depot and the
other half when the creamery was ready
to run, and also to furnish him a build
ing or buildings, as follows: An opera
ting room 35x45 feet; an engine room
14x20 feet; an ice house with ca
pacity Of one hundred tons of ices
The Republican states that the people
have not generously responded to the
proposition. 1t is considered ''unfair and
one sided" The people believe MIR.
Fritz ought to take some risk himself.
The Republican believes a creamery would
do we'll in Syracuse. We do rot believe
anybody will get a creamery without

w. S. Easton is tearing down the SUI
gar mill. which was built ut MinneoIa,
Clark county, during the ''sugar craze
in this country, few years ago. This
mill was built at cost of several thous-
and dollars, and boncs were voted TO
construct it. The machinery was sold
and removed to other points. Mr.. Easton
purchased the lumber, amounting to
about 10000 feet. He will dispose OF
this lumber wherever he can find sale.
1t is valuable material, and no doubt any
one wanting lumber might find bargain

A Distressing and Bad Accident.

The Christmas eve festivity at the
Catholic church was sadly interrupted at
the beginning of the entertainment. w.
F. O'Leary personated Santa Claus, and
wore cotton batting mask, that covered
his entire body from head to feet. A
sleigh, representing Santa Claus con-
veyance, was improvised, and this was
covered with cotton, to represent the
fleecy and snowy vehicle that conveyed
the glad tidiugs bearer to anxious chill
dren. When he entered the sleigh, Mr..
O'Leary struck a match and reached for
ward to light candle. The phosphorus
dripped from the match and ignited the
cotton, and O'Leary was enveloped in
flames like a flash. Some of the people
went to his rescue and threw OvercOats
over him, hut he was severely burned on
the face and hands before the flames were
extinguished. DIR. Milton was immedi-
ately summoned and applied the proper
remedies for relief.
A number of the presents were burned
or damaged. The exercises were thus
suddenly terminated and the pleasure of
a number of children and older people
marred, by an accident that may result
seriously.
Mr.. O'Leary has been engaged as a
plumber in this city for eleven years.
He is an Industrious man, but unfortu-
nate. His wife is in the insane asylum,
and he has three small children to pro-
vide for. He will be unable to work for
three months, and may lose some Ct the
fingers of his right hand.

Christmas Eve Mt the Churches.


Christmas eve was commemorated in
the usual manner by the Sunday Schools
OF the city. At the NJ. E. church a fine
program was rendered and was much ap-
preciated by the large church full in at
tendance. Santa Claus was personated
and his coming was announced by tele-
grams at intervals, and kept the children
in anxious expectation of the present of
candy and nuts. Santa Claus arrived on
a bicycle and made his entrance through
the window south of the pulpit.
At the Presbyterian church an excel
lent program was carried out by the
Sunday School children, and was hearth
ly enjoyed by the large audience. A
number Of presents was given, the tree
being handsomely ornamented. IRE
becca at the Well," and a number of
children with pitchers, was pleasant
scene, we'll enacted in Biblical characters.
The Christian church Sunday School
also gave Christmas entertainment, and
the school was in good attendance. The
young folks enjoyed the pleasant Christ
mas scene.
The Catholic church festival was inter-
rupted by the sad accident we describe
elsewhere.
The Episcopal church Sunday School
also RECALLED the pupils with fine enter.
tainment.
The Christmas trees and church deco
rations were handsome features of the
festivities in all the churches.

TO all who are obliged to perform the
journey between Boston and New York at
night, we certainly can recommend the
Boston q Albany (Sprineiield Route) as
infinitely the most desirable line to select
for that purpose. Night travel is at best
not particularly pleasant, and we presume
there is no one but would prefer to make
journeys by day rather than by night
but for those who for business and other
reasons are obliged to go TO New York
via sleeping car, the advantages of the
Springfield Route are so apparent to
all that it is not to be wondered that it is
the fayorite between the two cities
There are three special features of the
Boston & Albany which make it so desir
able. First, the road bed which is con
coded by all to he superior to that of any
in the United States secondly, the mat.

AN ICE MANS OPINION.
Says the Blockade is a Positive Menace 10
Interests Along the River.

A prominent iceEan was seen, Sunday,
by a Kennebec Journal reporter, and in
formed of the view of the situation down
river which is taken by Mr.. Randall.
In answer to questions he said;
Mr.. Randall is precisely right, and
am confident that all those who under
stand the situation will agree with me IN
saying so. All those who have interests
in ice houses, and any other business
along the river, for that matter, | am very
confident will also agree with him.
"With IL slow melting, there Is little
chance of damage and everything would
pass down smoothly, but 1t should be
borne in mind that, at this time rain
any time. And, when one considers the
mass Of ice and debris which clogs the
outlet about Swan island. there seems to
be no two ways, but to relieve the con
gested regions SO that the cl0gged ma
terial might find vent
What would be the cost Of cutting a
channel in the ice, such as proposed by
Mr. Randall - was asked.
Allowing at the outside, that the dis
lance is 10 miles, l should say that $4,000
would do it, at most liberal estimate.
lone man can cut about 80 feet i'll an
hour; in other words, two men could cut
along the channel. one on either side, 500
feet in a working day of 10 hours
Twenty men could cut mile in day
BY this reckoning, 200 men could cut the
entire distance in n day The price the
men would receive would he 81. 80 IA day,
making cost for cutting of $500. There
would, of course. be in addition many
it-about as many lnore-bripging up the
expense to 5000. Two hundred dollars,
IN round numbers would furnish teams,
bringing the total to $500 At the very
outside, $1,000 more would provide for
everything
The matter cannot, in my opinion,
be taken up any too soon. The blockade
as it stands, today, is a positive menace,
the entire length up the river as far rs the
dam, to business interests of every de
scription, homes and property.
9 am confident that the ice companies
along the river will bear their share of
any expense to be Incurred; and for the
company in which my interests lie l can
say that we shall certainly bear ours.
When asked for an estimate on the cost
of digging and blowing out the congested
section, the prominent iceman declined
to give any opinion, saying that his ex-
perience in that line had not been suffi-
Gent to make his opinion of any value.
