Scow STORM.—We have had a second visitation
of winter since our last, Friday and Saturday being days
of very sharp frost, with occasional snow showers from
the north. The ice on the pools was fully one inch in
thielenass, and on the Inch pond boys were enjoying
their winter amusements all day. In the Highlands the
storm was very severe, particularly in Aberdeenshireaud
Inverness-shire ; aid o❑ Saturday the north mail was
nearly three hours behind time, the snow having drifted
several feA along Dru►nmaichdar and Sloelsinuich, the
usual places of interruption. On Sunday a mild change
set in, and next day the Grampians had resumed their
ordinary appearance, excepting the highest range, where
the thaw has made little impression as yet. On the
whole, the weather is considered healthy, although un-
seasonably cold ; and this locality is freer of epidemics
than it has been for two years. The fever wards in the
infirmary are nearly empty.—Perthshire Courier.
