The Great Storm. i The weather of the past week hat bee.ii nothing to jok about. The por long suffering people of this town were with- out any mail from Toronto or Owen Sound from Friday until Monday noon. The trams could no', get through. Ad- ded to this the said eitixeiM have been almost frotutn up with a regular Manitoba freeier, the thermometer rang- ing for two days from 18' to 32* below zero, and durint; the two nightii it in sup- posed to have been where the turtle puts iu head. The Keverahaiu mail did not make its usual twelve-mile trip on Friday and Saturday, but turned up on Monday. Frank White, the Epping mail man, will get through no matter what breaks. He only miased one day. The Durham ttage was completely knocked out, and it was even impossible to drive from Priceville to the station, a distance of 24 miles, on Friday and Saturday. Tlirn storm lias even silenced the ''oldest inhabitant." It appears, howvver, that IB 1866 the people of New England had something tins ilar in the way of a Sturm, which we find described as follows in that beautiful poem ot Whittier's, Snow Bound : 8* all nltlbt lon the storm roarsd on .- Tho tuoroiof tiroa* without a lun . la tu.y aphsral* tr*M*d with Unas Of Nature's ftoiMtrie algni.
