The storm began Wednesday eve- ning, and ail night and all day and all the next night and the next day the snow continued to fall and the great snow sheet to rise tin everywhere through this northern section and through the western part of the Statt it stood from two to four Jeet-oa.-the-ievel, a. most unusual thing for a single storm, and drifting in exposed places in great banks seven and eight feet high, absolutely tyi&gjap alltraf^ fie and stopping business of every kind.

A FARM OP ABOUT 90 ACRES, SITUATED ,/IL near East .Constable, known as the James loss farm, is for sale. This farm will be sold dboap. Terms easy. Forfortber particulars tn ; undertook to make their trips in this village. They were all day going their rounds and many streets had even then to be omitted. Ail trains were very late, though snow plows were kept running. A blockade near Valleyfield locked up the St. L. & A. R. R. between here and Motf- treai for a whole day, and the O. & L. C. train* finally plowed through, but there was no attempt to keep the schedule. Gangs of men with shovels and scrapers attempted to keep the walks open in this village but without much success. People were kept in their homes and the children from school. The snow which fell on a single set of platform scales in this village was weighed and tipped jthe beam at 3, 100 pounds. When finally the walks were dug »ut the streets looked like.tun- nels and the large piles thrown up on Main street made the business part of the town look as though il had been barrica- ded for a siege. Man y practical jokes were cracked. One big suow bank had on its side a pair of rubbers placed as though worn by a man in a reclining posture, with the sigo, \Man Lost\ posted over it. All trains were made as light ae possible aad were drawn by two and three mogul engines, freight traffic has been entirely suspended for nearly a week, for just as the railroads wtre made fairly clear it be- gan snowing again Saturday nlgbt aDd continued ail day Sunday, piling Ossa on Pelion. The New York papers reported the snow fall the heaviest Xnown since 1866, but old residents here declare thai the like has not been aeen-te-fiftf-years. On the Cbateaugay Railroad one train was 24 hours making the trip fronT Pitts- burgh to Saranac Lake, and in some In- stances four or five engines, are said t o have been used to break open the road. Trains generally on the R. W. & O. road were stalled and there was no con- nection with Ogdensburg. The schools were closed Thursday afternoon in that city. One passenger train was buried in a drift at Rensstlaer Falls for nearly 24 hours. The passengers were overjoyed on reaching the end of their disagreeable journey. They spent the night on the train, many of whom were women. The seats were so arranged tbat they proved excellent substitutes for sleeping berths aud the trainmen secured blankets, so that nobody suffered from the cold. Luncbes and coffee were brought Friday morning from the hotel at Rensselear Fails, and ar, n«nn the train vras able to back to the station, wbere many enjoyed the hospitality of the hotel for dinner. The Ogdensburg officials and street railway officials started out Friday morjj- ing to clear the business portion of £h~e city from snow. Fifty shoveiers and 15 teams were employed by the city, and about 40 men and 6 teams by the railway company. Th^y were ac it all day Friday and Saturday before \any considerable portion of tbe city was again open to traf- fic Northern N. Y. towas were fortu- nate that no big~ fires started during the Commissioner' Gallagher estimates that the cost of ^removing tbe snow from the sidewalks, streets and ditthes during tfiT storm will • reach $400. The snow on Main street is being drawn to the bridge and shoveled into the fiver. N. W. Tarbell came down from the Rockefeller tract on Debar Mountain Satnrday, and says the last fall of snaw measures five feet twp inches in the woods where the wind did not have ac- cess; They have no snow plough on their railroad through the forest and the en- tire six miles of track is .being shoveled out by the wood choppers and loggers. Shonyo's milk team was unable to get into the village either Saturday or Sun- day. Monday he served a portion of his customers by securing milk from parties nearer town. The drifts In his vieinity are from ten to twelve feet high and on Sunday he was three hours in getting down to C. E. Allen's, a distance of Cwo miles, on horseback, working his way throDgh the fields. The'Oardensburg authorities estimate that $l,500-wss expended on Friday by the city railroad authorities and private individuals for shoveling snow, and yet tbe impression made on the great heaps piled up throughout the city was almost insignificant. Many of the big drifts were embellished with placards bearing humorous inscriptions. On one street the snow had been shoveled into great piles roughly representing a fortress sur- mounted by two towers. On one towel was planted an American flag and on the other a Boer emblem.

Forty inches fell in Rochester and other western New York points, aod all schools were closed. In the southern part of the State there were heavy rains and freshets which destroyed roads and bridges.

At Farnham a snow- plow was der&ftetr on the Canadian Pa- cific and one man was killed and five injur- ed by being buried in the snow beneath the plow. Thomas Peacock who resides near Ogdensburg, hitched up his team and tried to drive to tbat city Thursday afternoon for his children who Were there in school. Restarted along the river on the ice, soon got lost in the storm, and in- stead of following the shore, drove but toward the middle' of the river. His sleigh overturned and he lost his blankets, while going back after them the horse started on. He found the blankets and finally overtook the horse, but finding water on the ice dared not go any further/ so unhitched the animal and led him back to a spot where the ice was dry. There he gave up attempts to reach shore, rolled himself u p in the blanket* and iaid^own in the snow to spend the night. In the morning he found his way home and seemed little the wor*e for his experience. Peter Wheel a Rouses Point stone mason who was fishing through the ice did not return at night. A searching party was or- ganised but failed to find him and at mid- night the search was abandoned. It was thought that be was lost In the storm and had perished bat he was afterward* found on the toe more dead than alive. The wonderful, even depth of snow everywhere gives country and village a strange look. The people have been long- ing for snow all winter is order that the usual winter teaming might be done, All tbat lias been stored up for months has fallen at onee and its extreme depth has rendered teaming as impossible as before. AN ESSEX COUNTY MAN KILLED. Joe Reynolds, of Minevllle, In a J>rniikeii Rage Beat* Wife and Children.—Defies Neighbors witb *n Axe and l» Fatally Shot. Joe Reynolds, a former resident of Burke, but who for some years has resid- ed near Mineville, returned from his work ia the lumber woods last week and im mediately went on a spree. On Friday last he went home crazed with liquor and amused himself by beating his wife's head and face into a jelly and walloping his three children, one ao infant of ten weeks, one two years old and one four years old. He threw tbe children around the house, sometimes seizing them by the haii aiiu Lubsiug luem onto the table, or stove, as his humor best suited. His wife with the baby got out of the, house and ran through the snow, which was four feet deep at the time, to the house of Mr. J. H. Sherman. She was bruised and bleeding from more tbau twenty cuts and wounds. An effort was made to find an officer bat as none reside inMinevilie a justice there suggested tbat some of the neighbors go to the house and restrain Reynolds from committing farther crime until an officer could be se- cured. A party was hastily: gotten to- oth I. Voaburgh, Sr., of Saranac L^ke, a State game protector and father of Editor Vostmrgb, of tbe Adirondack Enterprise, has been quite 111 foe some time but ii 7 ^ tiow^ reported convalescent. Rev. Timothy Holland, recently or- dained, fcas been given charge of the par-, ishes of Crown Point, Hammbndville, North Hudson and Schroon Lake. His headquarters are at Port Henry. F. E. Perkins, a well-known machinist, is now at Lyon Mountain, in the employ of the Chateaugay Ore & Iron Co. He writes that business is booming in that section and that men who are willing to work need n<£t go out of the town. Mr; and Mrs. Wm. J. Ayers have re turned from Brooklyn where they have been spending a couple of weeks with their Saughter, Mrs. Diederick Fincke. They arrived in Malone Thursday but up to Tuesday had been unable to reach Lake Duane because of the storm. fled Reynolds of this intention. He im- mediately seized a double-edged axe and started iu to clear the par|y out. But they told him that they were not go- ing to hart him, and were there just to keep him from beating and injuring his wife and children. Reynolds came for the party, flourishing his axe, and was repeatedly warned to stand back or be would suffer the consequences. Being wild with rage, Reynolds kept advancing, when some one of the party fired a pistol at him, hitting his ankle. This seemed to auger Reynolds the more, and he was terrific with bis threats and menaces, when another shot was fired, the bullet hitting Reynolds in the side just above the hip. With a cry of pain he ran into the house and barricaded the door. The next morning an officer went to the house and found the wounded man in a serious con- dition although he was walking about the room. A doctor was summoned who pronounced the wound in the side fatal, and so told Reynolds, who sent for his wife and children and begged them to forgive him. He sank rapidly and died from Internal hemorrhage. M. G. Dawson, recently district super- iuieuuent o£ tnerWagner Palace Car Com- pany at Montreav has on account of the consolidation of the Wagner and Pull- man companies, been appointed agent for the Pullman Co., at Toronto. Mr. and Mrs. Dawson are both well and favorably known in Malone. Mrs.- Dawson, for- merly Miss Cora E. Baldwin, was a resi- dent here prior to her marriage aad is a frequent visitor in this section. In a letter to a Malone friend the other day, Mr. J. B. Twaddle refers to the shirt waist, shirt and ^pant tnanafsctTiries at Warrensburg.—OverUOd^peopfe are em ployed on shirts and shirt waists alone and the daily output averages 600 dozen.

It is proposed to put twelve two cent stamps in a book, with a wax paper between, the whole to be sold for twenty-five cents. On tbe cover will be printed postal information. The one cent charged for tbe binding and w,ax paper will net the government a profit of | 8 for each 1,000 books sold.

Malone had better follow suit. Joseph B. Dnrfey and wife celebrated the 60th anniversary of their marriage in Potsdam last week.\ Of over 60 guests who were present at the wedding only three are known to be alive. Mr. Durfey is 88 and the last one living of a large family. The same is also true regarding the family of Mrs. Durfey who is eighty years of age. A survey has been made across from the Grasse to tbe Racket river at Massena, with a view of digging a canal for the pur- pose of carrying off the water after it has done its work at the big power house. It is claimed tbat the survey shows that the Racket is twelve feet lower than the Grasse and it may become necessary to do this work on account of tbe back water which comes ap the Grasse in large quan- tities at times. The back water is usual- ly of only short duration. A sleigh with four occupants started to drive up the lake to Saranac Inn a few days ago. A wild blizzard was raging and there was absolutely no track on tbe ice. Tbe sleigh became hopelessly stuck in a drift aDd in endeavoring to get it oat tbe sleigh was broken. Tbe party floaily got to the cluo house with frozen hands, feet and ears and remained there until the following day. ~A*V»rching party was about to set oa*>for them when a telegram came by way ©f Tupper Lake telling of their arrival at the clab bouse. In speaking of the work of tbe St. Law- rence Power Co. in boring for an artesian well, the Massena Observer says: \It has been learned that aulphur water was struck, at a depth of 115 feet, and has been found from time to time in tbe progress downward, and from the smell of sulphur in that vtcinrjy it might be assumed that GouveTaeur, reports that but two tramps have applied to him for aid during the \ Mr. Jewett say* irhat at nir - they he g oloee proximity-- Tb dill they were^etig py th hinges of Hades.

The Potsdam CtothTna Co. ^as Just per- fected plans whereby they will take up a new line of trade, and one that will re- quire a large number of employes.
