LAST \Y OF WINTER. { Two Feet of Snow on the Level, Ice 16 Inches Thick. As an act of wi ord something rela ting into the rec- tive to the weath- main thing to be recorded is that the ng “there are no such hard vinters as used to be,” is hereafter to be regarded by this generation as pure buncombe. March has demonstrat- ed thoroughly, persistently and with- out mercy that in this twentieth cen- tury in New England all old stunts can be duplicated if not surpassed. Even the old-timers admit it, freely, and without reserve. When, on the last day of winter, roads are buried under more than feet of snow on the level with dfifts six and seven feet high on country roads, and ponds are covered with ice 16 inches in thickness in some localities, here- abouts, there is little that past win- ‘ers have done to take away anything from the record of extreme severity that February and March, 1916, are langing up.
