(_By an Elderly Victim of Bumbledom._)
["The London Vestries and Boards of Works have not exactly
covered themselves with glory in their dealings with the
recent snowfall. In very few neighbourhoods was any attempt
made on Wednesday to remove the slush, and Nature having
taking her course during the night, in the direction of a
frost early yesterday morning, the streets in many places
were absolutely impassable for wheeled traffic until a liberal
layer of sand and gravel had been spread."--_Daily Chronicle,
January 4._]
