A correspondent of the Boston Journal, writing from Bethel,
Main, on the 28th of February, says:
“The snow in many places is higher than the tops of the
cars, for thirty or forty rods in a place; and as they only cut a place through
just wide enough to ‘rub and go,’ the passage through seems much like going
through an underground tunnel. In two
places on the road the snow was actually drifted several feet higher than the
top of the smoke-pipe of the engines.”
