THE BLIZZARD-CONTINUED.

Last week we called it "a Maine Blizzard"
confning the report to local conditions, but
the storm and low temperatures prevailed all
over the country-north, south, east and west
and on the sea, with fatalities in many places
The discomforts attending this protracted
storm were not half told. In the city as well
as IN the country many were storm-stayed
away from their homes-the R. F. D. man, the
meat man and milkman were unable to make
their rounds for days, and near the last of the
week, one family reported by telephone that
they were getting tired of potatoes" P. S.
Staples. the R. F. D. carrier on route No. l,
said the delivery was unusually difficult last
week, as up to Saturday only about fourth
of the boxes had been shoveled to, and many
of them were in drifts. Carriers are not re-
quired to deliver mail in boxes that are not
easy of access. L. M. Bryant of Waldo, who
has been supplying butter to customers in
Belfast for twenty years, was unable to drive
through for the first time and came to the city
by train. We hear of three funerals that were
delayed. Elbridge Achorn died JAM 9Th at his
home in Morrill, and it was six days before a
casket could be obtained. The funeral was
held Jan. 18th. High winds and low tempera-
lures prevailed from Jan. 10th to last Sunday
some days the mercury rising but little above
the zero mark while in the early morning it
would be 10 to Is below. One day Thorndike
reported AZ below. There was less ice about
the docks than might have been expected and
the tides and high winds kept the bay clear
%l.
ture with little furry of snow in the after
noon and indications of more to come, and
Monday morning ushered in a genuine snow
storm.
