Lenox - We think we are having pretty severe weather for spring, but A.L. Jeffers relates an experience that beats this. He says that in 1843, though January and February were nearly as warm and pleasant as June, snow began falling the first of March and to the best of his recollection it did not thaw enough to drip from the eaves during that month. He attended a funeral on the 11th of April and the snow was fully four feet deep on the level. There was no hay or grain in the country, as they did not have the more modem facilities for getting them from other parts; they were obliged to fell trees and let the cattle and sheep browse on the limbs. It has been fifty years the last day of this month since he moved onto the farm where he still resides and the Democrat has been his weekly visitor for the while half century.
