A Far from Pleasant Evening.

The rain made matters very uninter-
esting, last evening. At times, there
were no lights. where the lines We're
crossed by limbs on the trees. At
other times, there was a flickering of
the light, and it was hard work to do
much by them. The sidewalks We're al
most impossible. They We're covered
with coating Of ice and many who at
tempted to walk on them. took a tum-
BILE. The trees We're pretty sights as
the limbs were loaded down with ice
There We're very few places where
there was not water running. The one
redeeming feature of the storm was
the fact that it was furnishing lots of
water to run the wheels of the mills
along the stream.

Thursday morning dawned cold. but

noon it was quite comfortable Soon
after noon a slight snow fell ana later
this turned to hail. This lasted until
there was two inches on the ground,
when it turned to rain. and this fell until
late 1t made the walking very bad. The
brooks were soon running full streams
and this will greatly aid the manufact-

few inches will be the most acceptable
present that can be given this com
