SNOWS GRUB WORMS IN EAST

Connecticut Man, Btanch Member of Temperance Party, Testifies to Phenomenon. conn.—Abram c. Shelly, an aged and stanch member of the temperance party, while walking along Torringford street the other morning during a snowstorm, perceived hundreds of live grub worms on top of the snow. He gathered a handful of them and brought them to Winsted to corroborate his statement. In a warm room the worms appeared as lively as in the summer.

Shelly is certain the worms did not crawl up through five Inches of snow, and the only way he can account for their presence on the snow Is that the winds picked them up in the South and they came down in Winsted with the snowstorm.
