A Knock-Out Blow For weeks the railways have been la- boring hard to keep their lines open, but stoim upon stoini banked op the trs^ks until nuvny had succumbed. The C. P. U. had been .successful until last week, not a dny parsing but that we got at least one mail from Toronto. On Wednesday night of last week, however, * storm cau'.o on which has probably not been outiloiio this winter, and iu it's al- ready hampered condition tho company was so unfortunate as to get a couple of engines off the track in the midst of the storm, which piled up tho drifts and utterly put a stop lo tratlic for three days. Wednesday niyht's train was the last to arrive here until Saturday night. A morning train was sent out from Toronto Saturday morning and this ar- rived here about ten o'clock Saturday cvenin;,'. The accuniulatid nnul of three days were dumped off and Postmaster Sproule and two assistants got to work and labored for a couple o: hours sortini; tho mails in order that a news-hungry community might have their craviiig ap peased. The pos':oftico was open until after midnight. It was the worst block ade this line has seen since the days of the old narrow gauge. That onc-ho^ae concern was, during the winter of 1874-6 blocked for about six weuk.s, but that dojs not provo that the winter of that Reason was as severe as the present • not by any means. On Friday tho longed for thaw put in an appearance and lasted until Sunday when arctic weather again prevailed. The thaw was a naild one but relieved us of nine or ten inches of snow, filled our cisterns and started tho water in tho Btrennis. These favors were duly apjireciatcd. TraiiM are running with r. gularity this week. Lot us hope the most serious conditions are past. tho present prices fir wood, coal ;g economy pcrsonilied, let alone its good points as a material easier handled than wood. The Shelbuine people aie begin niog to make a liig effort to get away from "the thraldom iif wood" is^ shown by the fact that over sixty new coal stoves have been installed in town this season, and town dealers have sold over three hundred ton* of coal.
