We briefly announced in a part of our last issue the death of Mr. John G. Whitman, which occurred about two o'clock ou the afternoon of last Thursday. Mr. Whitman was born in this town Nov. 13, 180!), and has always resided here. About 22 years ago his wife died aod since that time he continued to occupy bis homestead, having one or more of his children with him. Funeral services were held Sunday at the Baptist church, Rev. 0. 1 Fuller, ofliciatiug. Mr, Whitman left seven children, five of whom, Mrs. Cobb of Brattleboro, Mrs. Wilder of Troy, X.

Mr. Silas Whitman of this village is the only remaining member left of his generation. "Uncle John" as he was univerS' ally called, had resided here so long that he had become a village fixture and his well known walk, and his short emphatic voice w ill be missed on our streets.

She says "we are to have dandelion greens for dinner to-day," and to em phasize it sends along a large dande lion plant. Mrs. Roby also sent us a copy of the Nez Perce News and the Sprague Sentinel. From the lat ter, dated Feb. 10, we make the fol lowing extract : "There has been the most delight ful weather experienced in Lincoln county during the past week. The air has been as soft and as pleasant as one would naturally look for it to be in the middle of the month of April. 'Oh, how grand !' enthusias tically exclaimed one of a party of five, bound for the big beud, on Thursday morning ; 'how I do wish I could send a few bushels of this climate to the poor shivering wretches in Kansas, Dakota and Minnesota.' Don't say that,' spoke up another, 'for one sniff of this nice morning air would bring the entire people of those three States down upon us as soon as they could reach Sprague, and thev would all want to make the trip on the lightning express at that."

These creatures seldom wash themselves, and, as they are employed from one vear's end to the other in hard labor, their ap pearance is anything but enticing. The men pass their days in fishing or idling away their time smoking or chewing betel nut.

Montpelier, March 11. The storm was the heaviest of the winter, 22 in dies of new snow with what already lay on tho ground making a total depth of nearly four feet upon a level.

With perseverence the thing is brought down to perhaps half a dozen people; we settle it without doubt that one of them committed the offense, then we must fix on the right person. It takes persistence, downright work and ingenuity after you are certain of the man, to get sufficient evidence against him. But all the way through it is our knowledge of thieves, their haunts, ways and companions that helps us out. We don't trust to marvel ous intuition; it requires, first of all, knowledge of the people you're dealing with, then patience, thoroughness, per tinacity and intelligence.

The salesmen have some disagreeable experiences with customers, nnd it is some times hard forthem to keep their tempers. The worst fiend they encounter is the woman who is "only looking." She will approach a counter and immediately spread herself all over it She asks to see some calico of a certain print; this does not suit her, and she "asks for another pattern, only to put it away and call for something else. After the third call the clerk begins to grow suspicious; "she's 'a looker,'" ho says to himself. Still she goes on calling for something else. 'Haven't you this in red?" "Yes'ui." (The clerk takes down the desired style.) "But I wanted something In red, with a leafy figure; haven't you something in that line?" The clerk looks her over. "Yes, why didn't you say that was what yon wanted?" "Must I tell you yonr business; I'm sure you're the most perfectly awful stu pid man I ever saw; your" But here the desired style is spread be fore her. It docs not suit. The leaf is too leapiy leafy, or the figure is too utterly too ajithetic, and she suddenly discovers that it was no: a red pattern at all that she wauted, but a blue. By this time her ingenuity is exhausted, and with a sigh she turns away. "I guess I won't buv today," she says, "because I'm only looking." D. J. Mc Grath in Boston Globe." An Actress Tlaying Corpse. It Is not easy for a good actor to play a corpse. Miss Annie Kusscll had an ex perience the other evening that illustrates a scarco suspected difficulty, yet one that iiiigm easuy mm n s:wi scene iuto a ridic ulous furce. In the last act, for fully fif teen minutes, the l.vly muid of Astolat !s seen by the audience stretched out upon her bed that has been lain upon the barge, her limbs rigid, her features firm and one hand visible, stiffened in death. A whi;e light is thrown upon her. A feeling of sadness pervaded the audience as they watched the pale countenance. Not a single person in the theatre knew what was passing through tho mind of the corpse. Miss Russell was In perfect agony. She felt that her rigidity of limb and eusivetiess of feature were sadly Im periled. Her nose twitched, and she felt that she was about to sneeze. Horrors! Farewell, smooth. Placid features locked 111 death; farewell, tears standing in many eyes, atitl. horrors! laughter, convulsive langhter! Fortunately she did not sneeze. "But, oh my! if I had," she said plain tively, "would it cot have been perfectly awfui?" New York Herald. Here's hoping it will be a thousand years before another snow storm. the biggest snow storm known during the present generation, in Ver mont, set in last Sunday forenoon and lasted until Tuesday night. All day Monday and Monday night the snow fall was accompanied by high winds, and to say that huge drifts were made, almost everywhere is drawing it mildly. The snow fall was fully 30 inches. Main street in this village was drifted beyond any thing ever seen by the oldest inhabi tants. To give our distant readers, who are acquainted, an idea of the matter we will state that between the evidence of Dr. Marden and that of E. Cud worth a huge drift lay Tuesday morning fully ten feet deep nd extending across tha road ; from the dug-way to the residence of Lar- in Smith was a continuous drift, much of which had to be shoveled be fore a team could be got through ; op posite the Hoskins house and Wm. Thompson's were drifts 6 feet in depth. Not a team was seen on our streets from Monday afternoon until Tiiesdav afternoon when Mr. O. S. Stuart got out a pair of horses and accompanied by Mr. S. M. Ho- bart, who had previously shoveled out few of the worse places, drove from Mr. Stuart's residence to the post- ollice aud down as far as the carriage shop. Wednesday morning the same parties started out, and with the as stance of four or five shovelers reached the old Hubbard Barrett place about noon. On Tuesday afternoon R. E. Bostwick, who lives a mile and a half out, got into the vil lage with a pair of horses, and in the afternoon Josiah Pierce got through from his place and the Holden bovs from the hill farm. On Ihursday most of the roads throughout town were opened Thursday night we received our first mail by the way of Chester, but it contained nothing later than Monday lo bring tins mail the driver had to back it from the Andover aud Ches ter town line to Simonsville. Friday, by the same route, we got a full mail with Tuesday, Wednesday, Thurs day and Friday's dailies, from which we learned of the severity of the storm throughout its wide area. The Narrow Gauge. The regular mail train left this sta tion Monday morning and reached Brattleboro. At the same time the mixed train left Brattleboro for this place but was stalled a little this side of Jamaica, where it remained until Friday when an engine with the snow plow, that left Brattleboro Monday afternoon, reached it and pulled it back to Jamaica. Reinforced by this engine, Saturday morning a push was made to clear the remaining dis tance, at this end, but early in the morning the snow plow left the track, and in such shape as to compel a h -lay until Brattleboro could be re Hi -! ed and tackle obtained by which t- place it on the track. The track v 11 probably not be cleared before ! - day or Tuesday so as to resume nlar trains. After getting through to this point it will be necessary to go back and clear tho lower end of the track that filled in after the snow plow. This will be, as we under stand it, from West Dummerston to Brattleboro. Altogether nothing like this storm can be recalled by our old est inhabitant, yet, compared with many other places in the storm area, we came out of it well. No reports of loss of life or severe suffering has reached us from this locality. Below we give a few press dispatches that will give our readers an idea of. the extent and severity of the storm. The storm extended over New England, all of New York as far west as Buffalo, the greater part of Pennsylvania, the northern part of West Virginia, and the whole of New Jersey, Maryland, Delaware aud the District of Columbia. Cauada also came in for her share of the blizzard. Throughout all these sections railroad travel has beeu generally suspended and telegraphic commitment i ,n in a great measure cut off from Monday moruiiig until Thursday. Thursday a few of the roads got trains started, but probably not until Saturday will trains be running on schedule time. tall, .;.- eh 14.

Springfield, March 14. The storm here was the worst ever known. Over two feet of snow fell. Every road is blockaded. There have been no mail trains or stages since Mon day. An effort will be made to es tablish communication with the" out side world to-day. Vegeiines, March 14. The worst wind and snow storm ever known has been raging since Sunday night. All travel is suspended, and no mails have been received. All the country is blockaded. ' Elsewhere. New York, March 14. Reports show there were 40 trains blockaded yesterday between New York and Albany, and 18 between this city and Vonkers. Only one train was moved this side of Utica, and that was the St. Louis express, which was pulled outofabankof snow near Spuyteu Duyvil last evening, and hauled down over the old river road.

The streets are nearly impassable ; aud ou mshr street the snow is piled over 10 feet high. Bridgton, Me., March 14. The snow fall in this region was immense. The roads are all blockaded ; and there have been no mails since Mon day night. . New Haven, Conn., March 14. The New Haven railroad officials made a vigorous effort to open the road to-day, but failed. It is very doubtful if the New York division will be cleared before Friday. Worcester, Mass., March 14. A suow plow from Springfield got through on the Boston & Albany road to-night, having been two days on the road. Peterboro, N. II., March 14. This is the worst drifting snow storm for 40 years. Highways are impass able. No trains have arrived since Monday. ' Bridgeport, Conn., March 14. The storm Is the severest known in this vicinity for 60 years. The streets are filled with snow to a depth of from five to 20 feet. Lewes, Del., March 15.
