Heaviest Snow of Winter.

FHday nTght and Saturday morning we got the heaviest fall of snow of the winter, a full six inches, and heavy and damp. The roads had become quite bad Friday, cutting through in many places 'on the gravel and rendering such improved roads the worst they have been in many years, and this snow did not help them any, as thq ground was soft underneath. It was warm enough Saturday to cause the snow to settle somewhat. But the weather turning cooler Saturday night, reaching 18 above zero and continuing below freezing all next day. The sleighing was quite good Sunday, and everyone having a cutter or sleigh was out taking advantage of it.
