OF snow on the level. So great and
early a fall of snow is hardly within
the recollection of our Oldest and most
observing citizens. The tngling OF
sleigh bells at this season OF the year,
surprised US almost as much as to have
heard them at midsummer. Indeed tho
sound was rather melancholy then
enlivening, as many Of our farmers
have not finished gathering their crops.
Considerable produce from the neigh
boring towns was brought to market
on Thursday in sleighs. We also
learn, with surprise. that the mail
coach from LitchfieId to this city, was
actually stopped by the heavy drifts OF
snow that had accumulated during the
storm.
