►IOLENT SNOW STORM.

On Thamesy week, as Agues Brown and her husband,
ei 'WS Sot/M, a respectable peace in the parish of Tywroo,
wee returning from Moffat, where they had been on a visit
to one of their children, they were overtaken by a violent
swam of snow, when about • mile beyond the stepherire
Louse at Stidridge. This (inf.,' was soon aecompauied by
a rapid and stupefying drift, and, as they were now hi the
saidilli• of • wide and lonely moor, Mr. Shoe became appre-
hensive of the consequences, and seriously proposed that
they Astrid turn back. His companion, however, impatient
to reach home, and believing that the storm would soon be
over, proceeded a little farther oa her journey, when, fort-
ing her threaten begi• to fail, she at last conformed to Lil-
le/11 her husband's advice. She turn. d back accordingly,
bet ere they had proceeded many yards, her voice hr.
came weak and her steps unsteady. This rive...Nieuwe did
not escape the eye of her Inahand, and while wrapping his
;.!oid round her shoulders and desiring her to Iran upon his
arm fur support, be observed that her tountensuce had un-
dergone a remarkable change. To his affectionate request
she was wily able to answer, that she was no longer able to
•tend upright, and sinking to the earth, she soon lay at his
feet a lifeless corpse. The feelings of the husband at this
moment we will taut attempt to describe. Three times
be started away from the body of his wife, and as often
/Utilised, tormenting himself with the thought, that
star spark of life might not be totally extinct, sad in
his despair almost resolving to share her fate. At
Ism he stuck his staff loin the snow by the side of the
corpse, and with great dilgenlty found his way back to the
shepherd's homer, the charitable inmates of which, inter.
reline his looks rather than his words, swot discovered
sleet bad happeaed, and immediately set oat for the purpose
cf recovering the body. The steam still raged with rouse_
disable fury, and they had not proceeded far before they
sbaerviol a baud stowly raised above the snow. This,
ea reanimation, led to the discovery of a wow sufferer,
nho, iss travelling between Locheiben and Moffat, bad
Kees overtaken by the same tremendous storm, and
felled too the ground by sloe violence of the drift. This
person was cursied to Stidridge In a meteor insensibialy, but
L 1 prowr care has been restored to health and strength. A
little forther on the party came to Mr. flituies staff, which was
row Nearly buried is the snow, and without the aid of which
they conlil not have discovered the body of his unfortunate
v 'llls, deceased was the mother of tem children, all
and it is needless to add, that her autimedy the has ex.
r•ted a eery lively sentiment of regret is tM deseeeot where
she resided.—(E4inbarre Courant)
