The blizzard last Sunday after- 
noon, while of short duration, was 
the most vicious of recent years. 
There are many instances of slight 
damages, such as chimneys blown over, 
fences’ levelled’ and’ in one case a 
piazza. blown down,—on the Daniel 
Allen cottage, off Summer st. A large 
elm on the property of Mrs. Geo. A. 
Kitfield, Ashland -ave., was blown 
down, across the railroad track, on 
to the boat yard on the other side. 
Traffic was delayed somewhat, but 
not seriously, as the tree was cut off 
and removed from the track by four 
o'clock. It fell-a little after two.

Thrift! The Manchester Trust Co. 
is doing a good service to the com- 
munitv this season of “good cheer,” 
by preaching it. For instance: their 
Thrift club—or Christmas club—idea 
has struck the thrift nerve of Man- 
chester people so effectively that 150 
of them have started savings, which 
if kept up for the 50 weeks agreed 
on, will total $7000 next December 15. 
Wednesday’s snow storm was the 
first real storm of the winter. If the 
snow lasts the sleighing will be good, 
for there is enough of it and of the 
proper “texture” to make solid foot- 
ing. The street clearing gang was 
out bright and early Thursday morn- 
ing shoveling snow and clearing off 
the miles of concrete sidewalks. 
Supt. Crombie had a gang of 80 or 
go men at work. It was the first 
time this winter the shovelers were 
out.
