 The storm proved to be all that was an- ticipated at the time of going to press last week. About eighteen inches of snow fell on the level, and in exposed places there was considerable drifting. Trains were delayed to quite an extent on Thursday, but got back on regular time Friday. Country roads were almost inn passable after the storm. It was the worst storm experienced in Holland coun- ty since the blizzard of '88.
 The 18th anniversary of the form ation of the Christian Endeavor society was ob- served Sunday by special service in the afternoon, at the Congregational church.

A letter was read from the president of the socie- ty, Rev. Francis Clark, who is at present in Germany.
 The sleighing has proved very profita- ble for the liverymen. Friday and Satur- day it was not very good, as there was so much snow that it took time to break out the roads and get the tracks smoothed down. Sunday the going was pretty good and, as a result, nearly every one who owned a team, or could raiseathe price of one, was out. The liverymen all report a big business, and hope that the conditions next Sunday will be as favorable One accident is reported.

 Anthony Adams went to Boston this week to see about getting a cannon to set up on the Grand Army's lot in the ceme- tery. There is no doubt that thirty two pounder, weighing 400 pounds, will be secured. These guns are those that are not used, owing to being old style, or otherwise unfit, and are given to Grand Army posts by the government. The plan is to set the gun up in an attractive manner on the lot, and 1t cannot fail to be very appropriate ornament. A quan- tity of 11-inch shells will also be secured, in all probability, to be piled in the regu- lation way near the gun.
