Miss Elizabeth Stewart, SUI
perintendent of Union Hos

the Board of Managers of the
hospital for February, shows
81 patients were admitted dur
ing the month, and 50 dis
charged. The record also
shows that 33 operations were
performed during the month,
of which 81 were major and IL
minor.
Mondays snow was the
heaviest of the winter. A fine,
wet snow fell all day, but little
accumulated on the ground
until late afternoon, when it
began in real earnest. The
snowfall continued for several
hours, and on Tuesday morn
the ground was covered to the
depth of probably eight inches.
Had the snow been light and
dry, instead of wet and heavy,
it would probably have measur-
ed six or eight inches deeper.
The whole landscape pre-
sented beautiful appearance,
with the suow clinging to
every tree and bush, trans
forming it into a.fairyland.
When Old Sol broke through
the clouds and shone brightly
in the middle of the morning,
. he soon had everything a-drip.
Considerable damage was
done by the heavy weight of
snow breaking electric light
; and telephone wires and poles,
branches of trees, etc.
The heavy snowfall should
prove of untold benefit after so
! much dry weather, as the earth
} fairly soaked up the moisture
like a sponge.
