THE SNOW BTOIfl. | f tie MmI EzI?uIt?6ow* FicklBC*' "Now it the winter of our discontent.'' i rTe need scarcely inform our Wheel-11 ig reader* of the fact that 1 nowed. ' Tboae who were caught j nay from home by the storm, and were impelled to return, or were at home ] ad were compelled to go out, are painilly aware of this fact. ' This has been an unusually mild win- j sr, and the oldest inhabitant has not j ailed to record his testimony to this el3Ct. Indeed many say that it bts been ' be mildest (hey eyer saw. but there has i teen very little snow, and conseque ntly rery little ot the tun that snow brings mh it. Sleigh bells bad almost forgotten tho art of jingling and snow baling had come to be regarded as an instiution of the happy past. But wc are having the snow now. The little buds, that were just prep.trng to burst with the display of spring :olors, find themselves bound with the icy clasp of old winter. "It inow9," the people began to say at 8 o'clock yesterday morning. "It continnestosnow.'' "0,don't it snow strong!" They said at twelve, "Well, 1 never saw the like at night.'"Old Probs. didn't know what he was talking about." "jDb, tho horrid snow,"' -.ma cmH whilrt other* who didn't desire to go out and who had quotations at their fingers' ends, said "the beautiful snow Well, it snowed until Jt covered the ground, in this city, to the depth of about ten inches. The flakes came down a* gently as teathers, and with a regularity that rendered the scene beautiful. This, we arc inclined to hope, is the last severe touch of winter, and this snow we hope may be followed by the buds and flowers of spring and summer. So far as we have learned, the storm has done no great damage. The street cars were delayed some, and the trains over the roads were about two hours late, and that's all. ? m ? m K1VEK NFfl.N.
