The recent snow storm played seri-
Gus havoc with a large number of the
shade and ornamental trees in the
city, hundreds being stripped of a
portion of their limbs and not a few
being broken down and entirely
ruined. Most of the telehone poles
in the city were thrown out of per-
pendicular and during the past few
days workmen have been busy lining
them up again. In the country the
snow broke down considerable of the
uncut grain in this vicinity and has
been a serious setback to. farmers, a
large majority of whom have been
caught with their grain still in the
field, either u~nharvested or in the
shock.
