APPROACHING NORMAL-The mild weather and warm sunshine of tbs last few days have reduced the depth of snow on the streets to something approaching normal. Storm lsewers have been opened and in most places the surplus water quickly dis- appears. Drains cut from large pools ill the street permit the water to run off. The few cars that ventured out yesterday had rough and difficult passage through the slushy streets. Pedestriyns still find the walking anything but pleasant, particularly at street intersections.

FARM DWELLING BURNED-A , bad fire at Rustico on Sunday even- ing caused the destruction of the fine farm residence of Mr. and Mrs. Michael Doyle.

The outbuildings remain in- tact, also, fortunately, another dwell- ing house on the same property, into which the familywill be able w move immediately. The loss is partly cov- ered by insurance.
