vere cold as the past one, and gives up
the conundrum. One lady blest with a
good memory recollects that in January,
1857, were three weeks in succession

snow and bigh winds combined as dur

' THE BLIZZARD IN BROOKFIELD. .
The' blizzard, for such it will be con

the coldest storm known to the present
generation. Its severity was much in
creased or diminished by the situation.
Where' there was a long range for the
wind with good places for lodgement, it
was worse, the banks were large and the
freezing qualities of the air place it in
the front rank. Cellars that never froze
before have disappointed, their owners,
and we hear of apples, potatoes, in some
cases all the canned fruit being ruined
and much more not yet discovered.
From Friday noon till Monday noon the
town was snow bound, travel of any kind
being impossible. But few of the east

was done quicker and better than before.

THE BLOCKADE AT PLATTSVILLE.
The blizzard struck Sport Hill in all
its fury, Tuesday, and from' that time on
almost all traffic ceased. The farmers
who lived on the cross roads suffered the
most by snow but the dwellers on Sport
Hill felt the full force ot the gale. The
stage did not go down to Bridgeport,
Friday, finding it impossible to get
through the drifts of snow. In the
dugway near the tiew reservoir they
were 20 feet deep. Some of the farmers
had to dig a greater part of the day Sun
day to reach the main traveled road.
For the first time in years there was no
service in the churches aa the reads
were so blocked with snow people could
not get out. Nothing has ever visited
this section like it, as Bridgeport paper
says "The great blizzard of '83 is not in
it. Then the wind had a velocity of 50
miles an hour. This past week it trav
eled at the rate of 60 miles;" to the
dwellers on Sport Hill it seemed to go at
the rate of 100 miles an hour.

"About nine years ago I waa stck with tho
measles. hlch left my eyes very sore. They
would swell so that I could scarcely sea. and I
could not stand tha light. I could hardly sleep
at night, because the pain was too great. After
a short time white spots cam on my eyes, mak
ing my sight dim. so that I eonld hardly distin
guish an object held close to too eyes. I trted
threa doctors, but they would only soak tnesa
better for a short UM and then tba trouble
would bo worse than erer. In tbe spring ot ISU

I heard about a boy whose eyes bad been cured
by Hood's Sarsaparllla and decided to try It.
My eyes got much better after I had cakes the
