Great Snow Storms in England.
The winter of 1693-4 appears to
Lave been the severest ever recorded
in England. This was one of the oc
casions when the Thames was frozen
over and a fair held thereon. TLo
river was frozen from December to
February. Trees were split in the for
est by the violence of the cold, nearly
all the birds perished, and the heavy
enows made the roads in some parts
of the country absolutely impassable.
The wintei of 1 7089 was notable
for its three months' continuous frost
and snow. Ten yeare later a snow
storm on the be id crl a n .Is of Sweden
and Norway caused a terrible disaster,, j
The Swedish army was marching on j
J)ronthcim. They were overtaken on j
ihe mountains by a snow storm so
cevcre that 7,000 of them perished, and ,
the expedition had to be abandoned, j
The .Norwegians have the credit of i
the introduction of soldiers trained to j
wancenvre on the snow, with a kind j
of 6iiow-skate ; but under such circuni-!
stances as these they would have strug
gled against the warring elements in
vain. - The snow storms of that season
reached to England, and in the south
and west snow fell for several days in
succession early in January, and as
one of the sufferers remarks, there was
"very hard frost for a long thyme, be
sides snow very often, and all things
very dearc, so that a half-penny rowle ;
weighed Just a crowne piece, nnd'two
turnups sold for a peny, and coals sold .
for -10s. a quarter, and all theis things,
notwithstanding soc dearc, was very j
bad in kinde." I
Nearly half a century passed before i
there was anv snowfall in England at
all approaching this, but in February,

ceasing. 1 he eighteenth century clos-;
:d US it began, with a SUCCCSEiOll Of
"hard winters."
Looking through the .
recordsof thcsetimcs, m c can well nn-,
dcrtand the oft-fjuotcd remark of the j
"oldest inhabitants," that since they
were hoys the season have changed. !
The winter of 17S4 was one of the !
most severe of the series. Snow fell '
first on October 7, and from that date .
until April 2, 1785 177 days there;
rcre only twelve days on which it did :
not cither free zc or sijow. or both. t
Thcj'Tinter of 1814 was long rernenl--
leered in many parts of England as .
that of the "Great Frost." All over,'
the country the mail coaches had to '
cease running, and in mauy instances '
were abandoned in the snow, the letters j
icing sent on uv gVds on jiorse-
hack. And even this means of convey-'
atice proved unavailing In some locali-1
ties, for when the snow lay four feet
deep in the streets of great towns, it
may be fairly presumed that it proved j
a more serious obstacle in the country. !
Another remarkable &how teal' Was!
1S20; la tHs vear( as -;n fS4i (lie,
quantity of snow that fell on the ;
moors and fells of the North, ami the .
great plateau of Dartmoor, was enor
mous, and several lives were lost. .'
So far as Great Britain is concerned, 1
no snow storm for the past hundred j
year? has aroached jn violence and ;
ixtent that of December, 1336. Aftef j
it had lccn snowing heavily for two j
days, by the evening of the 2Cth the j
wind increased to a hurricane. The '
fall of snow that night was four to nine !
feet, and some of the snow-drifts were i
twenty, thirty, even fifty feet in depth. !
"Ine mails, all business ana corres-j
pjndeni'e were stopped nearly a week, ;
until the multitudes employed had cut
a way in the snow. Several lives were !
lest in, the snow, which was equally
'rrofit nil t.hp Ul-uul rtvor
Since men ngi.-iuu nas naa seveia:
winters in which there have been
heavy fall- of snow, and some in which
the mail coaches in various parts of j
the country had to be dug out of the I
drifts, as happened to the once famous :
"Quicksilver" mail so recently as 1S42. !
vne mgui s snowiaii was suuicieni 10
men, working all night, to cut a way j
through the drift, and allow it to pro-

in tne lourteentn century spared the
Mohammedan countries Persia, Tur
kistan, Morocco and Southern Spain
whose inhabitants generally abstain
ed from pork and intoxicating drinks.
In the Byzantine Empire, Russia,
Germany, France, Northern Spain (in
habited by the Christian Visigoths),
and Italy, 4.000.000 died between
1373 and 1375, but the monasteries of
the stricter Orders and the frugal peas- J
ants of Calabria and Sicily enjoyed
their usual health (which they, ofj
course, ascribed to the favor of their
tutelar saints) ; but among the cities
which suffered most were Barcelona,
Lyons, Florence and Moscow, the first
three situated on the rockv mountain
slopes, with no lack of drainage and
pure water, while the stepiKS of tke
Upper Volga are generally dry and
salubrious.
The pestilence of 1720 swept' away
52,000, or morethan two-thirda of the
75,000 inhabitants of Marseilles, in
less than five veeks ; but of the C.000
abstemious Spaniards that Inhabited
the "suburb of the Catalans," only
200 died, or less than 4 per cent. The
most destructive cpidimic recorded in,
authentic history was the four-years'
plague that commenced in A. D. 542.
and raged through the dominions of j
Chosaoes the Great, the Byzantine
Empire, Northern Africa and South
western Europe. It commenced it

cities Constantinople Northern Italy i
