Monday Nights Storm,

The worst snow storm of the present
winter began its work Monday after
1oon about o'clock and never appar.
emily did snow fall with more fury than
for the following hours of the night
Before 1870 O'Clock in period of five
hours over eight inches fell, and
throughout the night 1t continued,
accompanied by heavy wind. Over
welve inches was the result and the
country roads have been practically
impossible UP to the present. time. All
freight traffic WAS suspended on the
Maine Central, Tuesday and Wednesday,
as the storm reached as far as Boston,
but passenger trains made very good
time. The only stage to arrive was
from Canaan, yesterday. The Norridge-
wock stage made two unsuccessful
attempts to get through yesterday, but
will probably make the afternoon trip
today. On the Somerset Traction line
they had the rails cleared as far as the
trestle about two miles this side OF
Madison last night, and hoped to reach
the latter place by noon of today.
