Some Snow Storm of Years Ago.


Mrs. 6. /. Gates has a letter which
was written March 9, 1850, by the late
Abner B. Bailey, a brother-in-law of
her mother-in-law, Mrs. luke y. Grimes,
of AHnai, Chautauqua county, n. Y,
where she and her husband had lust To-
Gated after their marriage. The letter
states that the snow then was so
deep that he could not DO any
work on his farm except to attend to
his barn work. He then lived on the
so-called Gould place, now owned by Al
ton Smith. He further wrote il he
could sell his farm he should go out to
Minai as soon as the steam horse could
carry him as there the farmers had be
gun their springs work.
Mrs. Gates has a copy Of The Phoenix
dated March %, 1883, giving a full ac-
count of the great blizzard of March -.
25 years ago. 1t tells of the narrow
gauge road 5 fight with the great snow
and of the terrible experience which
the men encountered in trying to get a
train consisting of engine and snow
pillow through from Brattleboro to South
Londonderry, which was accomplished
after Il break of eight days, the re-
turn trip being begun after that length
of time. 1t required two days and two
nights to get from Sand hill to New
fame. 1t was a hard, rough experience.
