 The little sprinlSling of snow on the ground this morning gave people an idea of what, they may expect to see any day now from this time on, The young girls were delighted to know that the snow had appeared so soon. l but the fellows were shocked at the ] thought of having to come down for
 the cost of a sleigh ride long before
 they had figured on being face to face with bill of that kind. But the
 sprinkling of snow disappeared before l the wind and although there were slight squalls on and off during xlse
 day they did not amount to anything So far as making sleighing possible.
 It was cold enough, though, and peo- l pie about town who came out this
 morning without their heavy overcoats
 soon realized that they had made a l bad mistake. A Waterbury man who has kept track of the weather for the past forty or fifty winters and boasts of being something of prophet, de-
 clares that the fact of the first snow i falling on the thirteenth of the month
 is q sure sign that we will have thirteen snow storms this winter,
 besides the one this morning.
