The snow storms seem to grow in in
tensity with the progress of the season,
The one which began last Monday night
and continued we'll through Wednesday
was about the heaviest of the winter.

The big snow storm was little rough
on our euterprising feathered friends
who had got into this part OF the coun-
try. At least one flock Of juncos was
helped out of the situation by liberal
feeding from several houses in the
vicinity where they made their head
quarters.
Next week the Democrat will begin
the publication of series of Whilom-
Vile stories by stephen Crane. These
stories by this brilliant author, now
dead, have amused and interested many
readers, and taken them as well right
into the inmost heart of the boys and
girls who constitute the chief characters
in them. Don't fail to read them.
They're well worth it.
A Castle of Knights of King Arthur
has been formed among the boys of the
Universalist church. There are over
seven hundred castles in the order,
which is international. 1t is an mex
pensive order, but may be made elabo-
rate and rich in service. Its object is to
cultivate a noble spirit of courtesy and
manly valor. 1t teaches purity, temper
ance and reverence, also loyalty to couu-
try and faith in God. II helps to make
boys manly, noble, courteous and brave
in all good work.
Oh, the stuff they call the beautiful
snow, That comes down when April
breezes blow! 1t showed and it blowed
from Monday night, Till in forty-eight
hours we were most out of sight. 1t
helped out the trade in rubber boots,
But it shut off the mail on the rural
routes. II blocked the roads so that
school didn't keep, Gave the early birds
sbivers, and made slush knee deep. 1t
made most people swear, and nobody
sing, And it left us still signing for the
coming of spring.
As only portion of the readers of the
Democrat last week received an edition
which gave the result of the special
town meeting of Monday afternoon, 1t is
here summarized To succeed Henry
d. Hammond as selectman, assessor and
oyerseer of the poor, Frank A. Farrar
was chosen on the second ballot. The
other candidates for whom ballots were
cast were Herbert p. Hammond and
Austin p. Stearns. Some more than 100
voters were in attendance, and the meet
ing was about twenty minutes in length.
1t was about as bad night as could
have been picked for any gathering, but
there was nevertheless good attend
snce at the old folks concert and supper
at the Methodist vestry Tuesday evening.
An excellent supper was set out, and
later the concert programme was given
substantially as printed in the Democrat
last week. The members of the chorus,
attired in costumes of former days,
rendered the old-time hymns and an
thems, with George /. Burnham as
director, and Mrs. Burnham at the organ.
There were also other features of more
