WHEN SNOW HAS FALLEN.
Record of the Last Fourteen Years Nov.
L 1884 thn Earliest.

The coming Of snow as early as the 18th
day of November, as was the case this
year is not, as many suppose, rare oc-
currence. Several times during the last
fourteen years snow has fallen as early
and earlier in the season and m at least
one case the fall has remained for months
and there has been good seighing.
Last year there was a fall of snow on
November 10th, which measured five inch
es in depth as against this years four
inches of snow one day later The pre-
vious year tho first appearance of snow
was one day later than the present year,
November 18th. and this fall measured
two inches in depth. In 1896 a fall of four
inches of snow is recorded on the 2lst of
the month and in the previous year OF 1895
on the 10Th of November snow fell to a
depth of one inch and ten days later there
was fall of four inches. In 1894 the snow
came exceptionally early. five inches ia i
ing between the 9Th and 9Th days of the
month, while in 1893 there was fall OF
three inches from November 18th to the
20th, inclusive. The year 1892 has a record
of six inches on the 9th and 10th, 1891 of
four inches on the 2Sth and on the latter
date sleighs made their appearance. In
1886 snow to the depth Of one inch fell on
November 23d, in 1889 three inches fell on
November eth while in 1SS sleighs were
out or four inches of snow which fell the
44th. In 1871 snow began to fall on the
10th of November and by the 18th n dozen
inches had fallen, making good sleighng.
Eight inches fell on the 9th of November
in 1886 and the record is THAI sleighing re-
manned for two and a half months. This
Is the earliest record of sleighing and No
vcmber 5th, 1894, the earliest snow during
the period of IA years.

TOLL. GATE INN TUESDAY EVENING


Toll Gate Inn" a four-act colonial ro-
nance by Langdon McCormick, was pre-
scented at the Howard Opera House Tuesday
evening by very competent company un-
der the direction of w. L. Malley A
strong play in itself, Toll Gaze Inn
should particularly appeal to Nermontels.
since the scenes are laid near the oid
"Catamount tavern" and the action taxes
place at the time of the battle of Ben
niugton. 1t is a story of love AMI sacri-
flee. the liberty spirit and the undaunted
hcrcism of Green Mountain boys, with
British spy as the villain and half-breed
as the hero AS the haf-breed IS the
~ irCipal character in the play so he was
last evening the bright particular star CT
the company. The character was taken
by Mr.. John Burgess Weeks. a ST. Al
bans boy, well known in burlington ana
a faVorite in his native city, as was shown
by the presence in the audience last even
ing of a number of st. Adams people.
Natural in his manner and intensely carN-
est when the occasion demanded 1t, Mr..
Weeks made an ideal Poatchie and was
most cordially received At the Close OF
the second act he was presented with
some handsome flowers and was tompe!l-
ed to bow his acknowledgements for the
hearty greeting. Alexander kearney was
very good in the thankleSs part of Capt.
Smell the spy. and other leading male
characters We're well taken by Messrs.
David Murray as Col. Maitland T. V.
Wood as Sergeant Stone A. l.. McCor-
mick as Ned Pennington, c. J. Edmonds
as landlord Pennington and w. a. lrum-
nell as the graspinG tory squire. or the
ladies Miss Whitehouse by her unaffected
manner as Dorothy Maitland won the
hearts OF the audience, while Miss Bate
man in the more important part OF Hes
ter Pe nnngton, who risks life and honor
for the man she loves, was almost as
good The little comedy la the play WAS
/ well cared for by j. X Mortimer as the
village tinker, Donald Smedt as the doe
tor and Miss Delaro as the spinster sis
ter OF Landlord Pennington.
The play was finely staged and the cos
tunes were historically correct. Coming
on the eve of the annual meeting Of the
Vermont Society OF the Sons OF the Am
er!oan Revolution. the play had an an
usual interest for the members of that So
ciety, many of whom were present.

BEER IN HOTEL RUINS.

The first successful search for liquor to
take place In some weeks was made by
Sheriff Reeves Sunday morning at WI
noo-skl. The search was at the ruins of
the old American House owned by j. n,
Lavely and partially DESTROYED by fire
some months ago. In the basement the
sheriff found barrel of beer, some beer
in pail and also beer In glasses A man
named Charles Besette claimed To be OPP
Grating the place.
The part Of the building In which the
liquor was found Is under a permanent
injunction placed upon II about two years
ago. Il ia not probable that the courts
would hold that this Injunction had been
discharged by the fire which visited the
building, as that particular kind of an In
junction is tire-proof.

What AIS Nauy Men.

There is no need to describe the pecul-
lar weakness with which so many men
are aflicted--you all know what it is--it
may have been caused by overwork, indis-
cretiou, or Inheritance. How to cure 1t Is
what interests YOU. You may have taken
many kinds of medicine and found 40 re-
lief-that proves nothing except that you
have been working on wrong lines. A
regular physician who has seen thcus-
ands of similar cases certainly under
stands yours. Such a physician IS DR..
Greene, the leading specialist in nervous
and chronic diseases, the discoverer of DR..
Grecne's Nervura. You can consult Or.
Greene without fee or cost, personally or
by letter. at his office, "a Temple Place,
Boston, Mass. If it is not converient for
you to call, write Dr. Greene a lctter-you
will receive a prompt answer explaining
your case. Remember that consultation
and advice are free.

THE MARBLE INDUSTRY.
Blocks Thus Far TAKEN From North
Avpnue OnRrry Not Very sound.

lockwood Barrett of Rutland has been
in the city in the interests of the marble
industry, which was recently revived at the
plant of the Burlington Manufacturing
company. Several large stones have been
taken from the quarry which was recently
opened on North avenue near Bishop
Halls residence and Thursday they were
sawed at the plant of the company on
Pine street to determine their soundness.
Two Of the blocks were tested, but from
these samples sound blocks OF sufficient
size to pay for operating were not Sc
cured. This is no indication that the quar-
ry will not pay however as nothing def
mite can be ascertained until 80 or more
blocks have been tested from all parts of
the quarry and as the quarry Is worked
to greater depth the stone may prove
to be much more sound The work on the
quarry, further than obtairng rocks for
testing, will not be pushed this winter,
but if circumstances warrant a force Of
men will be put to work next spring. The
stone procured gives beautiful polished
surface and the object of the company in
quarrying Il is to use 1t in combinatiOu
with the stone brought from the quarrieS
owned by the company at Bluff Point. The
two used together make very pretty
effect. The company is rapidly disposinS
of all the stock on hand and 1t is hoped to
work up a business that will keep force
of men at work throughout the plant.
