The borough and vicinity are slowly recovering from one of the worst storms for years. Superintendent Frost of the local telephone exchange has kept his lines, with one or two exceptions, in working order. Several poles were down, and the electric light service was somewhat crippled. The trolley and train service Sunday was very unreliable. Many ornamental lawn and fruit trees were broken down.
 The only way that the streets of the borough were made passable at all on Sunday was by the snow blows sent out by Boss Farmers Labonne of the ABpinook company McBroom of the Slater company and Franklin of the Ashland Cotton company. Outside work at the Hopeville plant and at the Ashland mill was seriously held up. A foot of snow fell on the level

 Vested Choir at St. Mary's Church.
 The Christmas Day services at St. Mary's church were rendered unusually attractive by the singing of the altar boys. There were twenty-three of them and they sang the Adeste Fideles and several responses in splendid 9tyle, showing the careful training of Father Baumeister, who is a fine sing ar and intoned the masses beautifully. The solo parts by William Duggan were of especial excellence. Christmas day was the first time the boys had sung publicly and they will continue to do so each Sunday. No less pleasing was the music by the choir led by Miss Campbell. The solos by Herman Rob- erts and Joseph Laliberte were excel lent. The artars were decorated with festoons of green red and white car nations. red azaleas and Chinese lilies.
