PAWTUXET VALLEY.

The residents of the Valley are just be-
ginning TO recover from the effects OF the
storm and business is resuming its usual
course although somewhat hindered by the
bad condition Of the streets The electric
railroad company has succeeded in clearing
its tracks and the cars are running as usual
although not making schedule time on ao-
count of the snow which is being constantly
thrown on the tracks by s!eishs and carriages.

commenced repairing the private line be-
tween the Hoxie Bros. stores in the Valley
yesterday morning and Supt. Murphy OF the
local telephone exchange is doing all in his
power to remedy the trouble caused by the
storm. Much complaint is caused by the
way in which the road surveyors opened some
of the streets, the m,n who ran the snow
ploys keeping in the middle Of the street in
stead of on the sidewalk with the result that
pedestrians are Obliged to continually dive
into the snow banks in order 10 avoid being
run down by the teams and sleighs which
monopolze The Iath~ay. One of the French
