Worst Blizzard Of the Season

The worst blizzard of the year, if not
the worst that ever struck this town
commenced Tuesday night and ragged
with undated fury until last night
before the weather began to moderate.
The wind blew 40 to 60 miles an hour
and the mercury registered from to 20
below zero.
The snow was piled in big drifts in
every direction and these were 80 hard as
to almost hold up horse. The streets
were swept clean Of even refuse, where
they were not filled full. The sidewalks
were badly drifted in places.
Water pipes. steam pipes, etc, were
frozen that were never frozen before.
AT the Addison several pipes were frozen
though a hot fire was kept up all night.
Mr.. Higgins says this is the first time in
eighteen years.

arrive till afternoon yesterday. The
local trains were very nearly on time,
but the stages and rural carriers had a
bad time owing to drifts We have seen

In the church parlors refreshments were
served and later in the audience room
the Thursday evening meeting followed
at which Dr. Brown spoke to the as
sembly.
By the direction of the church paper
expressing the appreciation of the
church was presented to the Elder.

ference board Of stewards was elected

Resolutions:
The members of the Quarterly Con-
ference of the Middlebury Methodist
Episcopal church at the fourth session
Of the Conference year January 10, 1905
wish to express to their Presiding Elder,
DR.. G.. w. Brown, their appreciation Of
the careful oversight he hasigiven their
church interests during the six years of
his administration of the affairs of Bur-
lington District.
That this oversight should close at the
end of the year is not of their CHOICE
they yield to the church law which
limits the term of service.
The church history of this period of
six years is fresh in the minds of us all.
The Presiding Elder will hardly need to
be reminded OF the great stress we were
under at the time of his coming, how we
were in the midst of struggle and not
very far away from Encouragement. In
the midst of these dark hours he came
to us with affectionate sympathy; he
gave to us from his store of hopefulness
the cheer we at that moment most sorely
needed. Nor was it 10y words alone that
we were lifted and helped. He almost
shamed us by his unselfish gifts and we
caught inspiration from his example
We are grateful to DR.. Brown. We
ask him to span in thought the past six
years. He considered us in our low
estate. He shared our distresses. We
thank him for his word and deed, for
his guidance and inspiration, his hope
and help. We gratefully ask him to
share with us in our rejoicing. and to
