BLIZZARD THIRTY FOUR YEARS AGO B Monday's bright sunshine with prom- ge of the close arrival of spring was in sharp contrast to weather condi- tions in Norwich thirty-four years ago at this time when the country was in the grip of the great blizzard of 1838 when it snowed almost continu- ously for three days, from Monday, March 14.

But those decep- tive apbearance were dispelied by the oaths and exclamations which rose upon the air from those wallowing, tumbling, snow-plastered and slush-bedabbled men who were blown hither and thither by the wind, and were first struggling on the walk and then in the gutter, knee- deep and waist deep, wet, weary and savage. Effigies are never. profane in speech, whatever they may be in ap- arance. P hose who wers in the city could have but litle idea of the fury of the storm in the open country, where the unob- structed gale must have swept the land like a young cyclone and the sleet and snow have been stifing. Those Who were caught out in the rural districts last night, if not rescued, must have perished. ;, The Bulletm of March 14, 1888, de- 1t | seribed the further effects of the storm ag follows: THE WORST STOEM in|In the Memory of the Oldest Inhabitant —Al Travel Stopped and Comnection With the Outside World Still Cut 08— Rallrond Progress—Incidents. Norwich Tuesday morning looked like a northern New England coast town at the conclusion of a northeasteriy snow- storm. The depth of snow was from one and a half to three feet, and it was still snowing. The streets were unlnviting te man and beast and the horses that first broke through the snow drifts in light wagons had a fatiguing time of it. There were nd milkmen about, but the news- boy could not be stopped. He was floun- dering through the snow with his Bulle- tins early in the morning and the resi- dents of the central part of the city had their papers at the usual hour. About mid-day the milkmen began to arrive to serve their customers. There was iittle business done outside of shoveling, which every man of suffi- { clent strength took a hand at; most of them had plenty of it to do. A gang of six men were employed all day in clear- ing the walks around city hall. In all the business streets the snow was piled up some four feet high along the walks which is the largest amount of snow secn updn the ground in this section at one time for 30 years. Several old residents think that a fall of snow in 1859 quite equalied the present snowfall for depth, but for severity the oldest citizen freely admits that he recollects no storm to in ce in he as of his poems.

Monday evening two women who ven- tured out on Franklin etreet at different hours became stranded in snow drifts and raised up their voices and shrieked for help. .They were heard above the wind and two chivalrous men rescued them from the drifts, if not from death.
