Their place here as good citizens will be ditiicult to till. Mrs. T. J. Sh-.'pparJ and Miss Beattie, who wore in Toronto la.st week ntleiiding niiliiiiery npt-ning, bad an experience with the blizKird wh'ch raged there on Mumiay that they do not wi.sh to repeat. In fact they thoUiiht at one time they wouKi never have an opportunity to repeat it or any other earthly feat. TUey bothtookaoar from the centre of the city fo.- Norway, but h.id nut travelled far until they had to gee out and walk. It waj bitterly cold and the driving snow nns perishing. On seventl occasions they were obliged to enter stores in order to uet warm. When Hearing their destiiiatior. the snow was drifted to such a degree that they were aosolutely stuck as fast as any C P. li. snow plough has been tlii>( winter, tt was at this juncture that they began to wonder if their remains would be found before the gnow wentaway. However, a Presbyterian clergyman happened along, extricated and piloted the ladies to their destination. They both say it was the worst sform and most harrowing experience they have ever undergone. The Midland Free Press man says he can well remember the severe winter of 1874 75, as he was living on a farm in the township of Cuilinuwood at that time. The snow fell on the 5th d>y of October, and remained until sprini; wilh the ex- ception of a slight thaw in January. The farmers were caught wilh their potatoes and other root crops in the ground, where they remained until spring. Potatoes were dug out in the spring as fresh and nice i!s c<>u!d be, but turnips were rotteil to a larce extent. The only railway rui'tiing into Owen Sound at. thxt time was the old Toronto, Grey and Bruce, cimstructed on the a.irrow gauuo system, and therefore much more difficult to keep open. Many thrilling experiences cou»d be related in connection with this pioneer road. It is true th.'tt from February 3rd to March 28tb, 1875, tratfic on the old Grey and Bruco was entirely suspended. It had snowed for 48 consecutive days, and the "beautit'ui' covered the ground to a depth of four or live feet in the bush, w^hile at certain points in the clearances and ahmg the roads it was piled aa high as teu feet.

Up to time of wiiting ('I'ue-sday ovoninsi) we have been without riiiway service for just eis;lit days, con .seijueitly no express h^us beeu i<ot in aud t!i:s creates ^reat hardship in many iii- stmces. But the delivery of the mails is what most forcibly teuiiuds ua of Kiyhood days. On Friday last a horse sleigh uiail service was iii.stituted between Oraiigo- villo (to which [luiut traiiis were running from Toronto) to Owen Sound. Two mails Ciiine through from Oweu Sound on Frid.iy aud one fro n Oraiigivil with the Toronto nmil. Anuther nuil urrivid horo Sunday from Oiaugeville Willi chvj Satur- day papers. In taut this uiail brought p>Hiers printed in Toronto six d.<ys beb re. Un iMouday no mails anived from either direction, neither were there departures. Tuesday another mail came in from Orungeville.

T:.e snow plow and fourengiiKa, accompanied by a K^u^t "-'f nearly 100 men, were just one week gelt- iiiU through from Prulon Station to Shel- burne,a distance of sevriitoen miles.

A disastrous (ire occurred at Nottawa villaao about niidniKbt, oa Saturday, when the Hour mill of Mr. J. A. Brackenridue was tot;d!y destroyed. The fire was di-icovereU beffire it had much headwiiy, but withi ;; Sie applian- ce.s, and owing to the hi-jh wind it was impossible for the villai^ers who turned • .ut to save the mill. They worked h'-roically. however, and saved the ad- joinias buildings. The liro is supponed to have caught from a small stove iu the office. The fire at this period of the year is particularly disastrous f < r Mr Brack enridge, as a lanje nuantity of wheat had been accumulated during the p:.st week, the whole of which will likely be a ti'ta! loss.
