THE SEVERE STORMS.

The severe snow storms of last week
caused serious delays with the mails at
this station. The stages, with the ex-
ception of the one from Warren, New
Preston, Marketable and Worthwhile, got
through the snow drifts on eime. War
rem finally dug through, one day late,
about as soon as the railroad company
were ready to take it to it's destination
This week the last storm is quite serious
ly affecting the stage routes owing to
fallen trees, telegraph and telephone
poles lying across the roads in many
places along their routes. New Milford,
or the central portion of it, escaped the
ice storm, but there was plenty of rain
fall in its stead and the small brooks are
swollen to their full banks and the Houg-
atomic river is assuming quite q swollen
appearance. The Ice on the Housauonic
has moved out and all fears of any dam
age are allayed on that account.

Beard ley is noted for his knack at

raising largely handsome Devon stock,
sons of his registered prize taking Devon
bull, Proposer. These cattle of late
have been catching the farmers eye be-
cause of their sleek coats and compact,
vel put together bodies, and each year
the display has been gradually going
their way. Mr. Beardsley sells q great
