and then perhaps we took some notice of
it. I rekollect one storm we had clue on

as we thought winter bed gone for good.

morning. They went west, and when
last heard from ind pnssul Five Mile
iliver station. it was found necessary
only to make a few cuts in that distance,
and it is expected that they have reached
well toward Stamford.
Station agent Raymond seemed to lake
in the situation Monday, and as soon as
he arrived from Rowayton, from whence
he walked, he purchased all the shovels
in the city. and engaged all the men he
could to use, them. Yesterday he suc-
ceeded in removing the large drifts south
of the station. '
Yesterday afternoon an attempt was

engines were. coupled together, but suc-

Partridgea in the Snow.
In the northern states the ruffed
commonly known as partridge, have a habit
of nestling down in the snow, and hunters
say they do so to keep warm. In Oxford
county, Me, a man was passing through a
wood lot and was startled to see a bird start
almost under his feet and fly away. Looking
carefully ahead of him he saw a dosenor‘
more black specks on the snow. Close in
spocticn proved that each of these was the
head of n partridge. The birds sat quite still
until he was almost near enough to touch
