No Shadow for croundho4.

If any drowsy groundaog woke up Tuesday and succeeded in getting through the drifts around his front door, he had excellent reason to remain outdoors and anticipate an early spring, according to the old supersti- tion which holds sway along the At lantic coast and is especially strong in New England and the southern states.
 The grounding must be dyed in the-wool optinist, for when he emerges on such q day as Tuesday, when there was no sunlight to cast his shadow. he is supposed to stay outside. cen fident that spring is near, whereas if he finds it a pleasant day he goes back to bed for another six weeks.

THAMES RIVER BRIDGE
 BLOCKED BY ICE
Draw Could Not Be Closed For Ovel
 An Hour.

Inability to close the big draw of the Thames river bridge on account of ice after it had been opened held up traffic on the New Haven road in New London for some time on Tues day. The bridge was opened at I'll to permit a vessel to go up the river and when it came time to close it the attempt proved unsuccessful because of ice which had formed under the heavy rails which lift when the draw
 is open. It was S.55 before the bridge was finally closed.
 The Federal express, arriving in New London from the west at 7.10, was delayed an hour and passenger trains due at the Union station from Wores- ter at S.26 and the other due from Providence at S45 were both held up several minutes.
