Our mail carrier between Thurmont and
Frederick, Mr.. Jacob Handley, had a rough
time of it last week. His wagon was over
turaed in the snow drifts, the wind deprived
him of his hat and the cold almost deprived
him of the use Of his limbs.
The cold weather remained with US with
but slight moderation during the past week
While the mercury got away from the zero
mark it did not reach 80 until Monday and
during the most of the time it ranged be-
tween 10 and 90, pretty Geld for this section.
