THE BLIZZARD IN WOODBURY..

THE BLIZZARD IN WOODBURY..
The news for the past week is nothing
but the history of the longest spell of
heavy winter weather that has been
known here in a long time. Pleasure
and even business has been largely tied
up and the end has come in blizzard
almost as heavy as that of 1888. Tues
day afternoon, snowstorm started and
before it ceased, Wednesday evening, it
had fallen to the depth of about 10 inches.
Thursday was cold and clear, the Their
mometer not getting above five degrees
above zero at noon, with the wind blow
ing strong from the west all day. Friday
was about the same except that the
wind was abating some. Saturday
morning, we had next to the coolest snap
this winter, but it did not seem SO cold
as the wind had gope down. The Their
mometer ranged from eight to nearly 20
degrees below in different parts of the
town. Saturday night, another storm
started which, with short intermission,
sunday evening, kept on until late Mon
day night. During this time about 20
inches of snow fell and the wind, Mon
day afternoon, made the storm 8 verita-
BILE blizzard. Early Tuesday morning,
the sky cleared and the sun shone out
brightly with temperature of Is degrees,
the best day since Monday the 9Th Of
February.
No mails got through from Monday
morning until Tuesday night, and then
only in an irregular fashion.
The dancing class, Monday evening,
was omitted, Prof Daniels not being
able to get from Danbury.
Schools wre slimly attended, Tuesday,
and some of the district schools did not
keep at all.
Attendance at the churches, Sunday,
was small owing to the storm.
A delegation from the Women's club,
who were expecting to attend the Water
bury branch, Tuesday, we're detained by
the storm.
The members of Col Kellogg council,
o. U. A. M, are expecting to have a
clam supper on Monday evening next.
Mrs D. R. Rodger has been appointed
county organizer of Women's clubs for
Litchheld County.
At recent meeting of the Women's
club it was voted to keep the library
open as a reading room on Monday, Wed
nesday and Saturday evenings from t.
o'clock. If the experiment proves sue
cessful, magazines and papers will b.
put in. One OF the members will be il
charge of the room each evening. Thi
seems to be a good chance for those WIN
are not able to have library and paper
at home TO enjoy the evenings In YER
profitable manner.

consisted of.songs by Gerald Cunningham,
Homer Barlow, the choir and others.
Also comical sketches and dances by LIE.

was fairly good audience present, who

time furnish such good entertainment
for the public.

GOOD WORK OF VETERINARY TODD.
While Samuel Scoville OF West Corn
vail was exercising his valuable stallion,
'Ben Franklin" about six weeks ago,
and was wsding through the snow drifts,
he made mis-step, and broke his left
hind leg just below the ankle. Mr. Sco-
Vile with the help of some kind neigh
5ors led the intelligent animal on to an
* sled, and in this way he was taken
,afely to Mr. scoville's barn. Then DR.
Todd Of New Milford was sent for, and
m his arrival he ordered the animal put
into sings and then he reduced the frac-
uric and applied plaster of paris cast.
LAST week the doctor removed the cast,
md was very much pleased to find the
leg nearly, IL not quite, as good as it
was before, or will be as soon as the leg
becomes strong.

THE BLIZZA ARD IN OXFORD.
Geography teaches that Connecticut is
in the temperate zone, but to Judge from
for the past week a mistake
was made. On Thursday morning last
week, the mercury registered from two
to five below zero. Friday morning it
was about 10 below, and Saturday MORN
ing from "a to 26 and 80 below. A rec
ord which no one living in this section OF
the country remembers to have known
before. The blizzard of Sunday and
Monday was of unparalleled severity,
the one Of March, 1888, hardly beating
1t in quantity of Snow and velocity Of
the wind. No one but from urgent
necessity ventured out of doors and those
who were obliged to get outs experienced
great difficulty. Mr. Thompson, the mail
carrier, came from Southford in the
morning, and got to Seymour with the
mail on time, and he was but few min
utes late on the return trip. He die
not venture to go back to Southford.
