TWO SNOW STORMS.

THE NEWS of Feb. 20th reported the snow storm which commenced about 4 o'clock in the morning of Feb. 17, also reported up to Wednesday evening the delay and incon venience the railroads had experienced on account of the snow drifts.
 The Berkshire Division kept crew of shovelers at work in the drifts at Sheffield all Wednesday night The wind blew terribly and the snow drifted in about as fast as it could be shoveled out, but the men held the fort and the Thursday morning south bound passen- ger trains got through on time. The snow blow came down from Pittsfield during the forenoon.
 The O N. E road had considerable trouble on Thursday in keeping their line open between Winsted and Miller ton. The train from Millerton due in Canaan at $40 m. did not arrive un- til noon.
 Another snow storm began business here at 10 30 a. m. on Friday and con. tinued until Saturday noon. About six inches of snow fell. On Saturday the 8 20 a. m. train from Winsted and the 9 0a. m. train from MilIerton were each drawn by two engines. Both trains were about forty minutes late The g 40 8. m. north bound train on the Berkshire Division was also forty minutes late. The snow plow arrived from the north at 12 20 (noon) and went south. The north bound 12 35 (noon) train was an hour late.
 On Saturday all trains on the O. N. E. road were annulled west of Millerton or State Line as the line was snow bound and practically blocked in that section of the country. The 10. A 8. m. train from Hartford was drawn by two engines and reached Canaan about IL 30 8. m. being over. an hour late. The snow piow, propelled by two engines, arrived from Hartford at 45 D. m. At Canaan third engine and two cabooses were added and started west to open the line to May brook. Near Weeds Mine, west of Boston Corners, the track was covered with ice and snow and in an instant the big snow blow, the three engines and two ca- booses, jumped the track and rolled down an smbankment. Strange to say, none of the men were killed. One man had one hand badly cut by broken glass. The work of clearing up the wreck was immediately begun, and by Monday forenoon all the engines had been removed, but the snow blow WAS left alongside the track. A large force of shovelers with three or four engines worked east from MilIbrook from Sat- urday until Monday, and by Monday noon the line was opened to Millerton and freight trains were started toward Hartford.

Constitutional Convention.

The committee of the whole of the convention at Hartford on Tuesday by a close vote adopted the following res- olution presented by Donald T. Warner of Salisbury:
 Resolved, That we are in favor of a Senate of sixty, based on principles already established.
 The committee of twenty-fou report. ed as unable to agree on any plan of representation in the House to be pre- sented to the convention. A minority report from this committee in effect recommended the Bennett plan which gives representation in the House of from one to six representatives to a town according to population.
 Things are shaping up queerly in the convention. Yesterdays proceedings seem to show that town equality repre- sentation will not go through and that 8 compromise will have to be effected. In fact Delegate Warner. the cham pion of the small towns, yesterday was will ling to concede increased representa- tion to the four cities of Hartford, New Haven, Bridgeport and Waterbury rather than have all plans fail before the people, The matter will be further consider, d at II o'clock today.

Quicker Time on Freight Via tho
 Poughkeepsie Bridge Route.

Quicker Time on Freight Via the
 Poughkeepsie Bridge Route.
 The Central New England Railway announced that commencing Feb. "A a new fast freight train will be scheduled for western shipments. This train will leave Hartford at 5. % p. m, passing Simsbury at 5.50, New Hartford 6 AS. Winsted 7.32, Canaan 8.59. Pough- keepsie 1.30 a. m., arriving at May brook l2, and Campbell Hall at 40 a m., making direct connection with the through fast freights of the Ontario & Western. the Erie. and the Lehigh & Hudson River. for all points west and south. By this service the company expects to shorten tho time between Hartford and way stations to Chicago nearly twenty four hours, the fastest time for freight out of New England It is expected that this new service with the western shipments via the Pough- keepsie Bridge Route, Central New England Railway, will largely increase shipments. A similar train has been sch heduled eastbound, which will faoili- tate and quicken the service on east bound business as we'll as westbound. It is hoped that the shippers will take l advantage of this new arrangement and add to their already liberal shipments via the Poughkeepsie Bridge Route. Rates are always guaranteed to be as | low as any other line.

Being of German origin, with the coffee should be served the various kinds of cake and bread peculiar to that peopIe-zwiebaok, pretzels, sandwiches made from brown bread with carawAy seeds, and the small cakes which the German bakers have in great variety. The coffee should be of the best and served with whipped cream. It should be under stood that at "Kaffee" the guests bring their work and "maks an after. noon of it." Invite them at half after three and serve the refreshments at five.

 -One of our exchanges says:
 Augustus Brandegee of New London tells of b1s first acquaintance with Abraham Lincoln. 1t was in 1863, at the outset of Mir Brandegee'a con. gressional service. He had been deputed by his colleagues to urge tho President to select certain gun in- vented by Horatio Ames of Connecticut. MT Brandegee had prepared speech, but Lincoln's hearty greeting: Well, what does little Connecticut want?' put all notions of formality out of the head of MT Brandegee, who proceeded to explain the situation in all informal and simple way, The gun was adopted.
 Horatio Ames of Connecticut was Horatio Ames of Salisbury and his cannon works were at Amesville near Falls Village and the above item would be greatly more interesting in this section if it were correct; but we are sorry to state that Horatio Ames' gun was not adopted by the government. The guns were of peculiar construction, being made of number of wrought iron rings welded together and rIhed steel core inserted in the center. The guns were tested in. Amesville and used to be fired into hill on what is now Frank Reeds farm. The late Frank Peet of Canaan, who died worth half million, often said that the first money he ever made was digging the cannon balls out of that hill (which belonged to his father at the time) and selling them for old iron.

grown fox cubs. The mother fox had
been traced 10 her den and killed when
the cubs were found, and they were so
small that they did not have their eyes
open. At the same time the dog WAS
rearing puppies. and the fox cubs We're
taken home and given 10 her. The dog
took the little orphans into her own
family, and they have become insep-
