tinually, by greedy expectants for office, with

Concord Patriot, Greene of the Boston States

manifest the Independence, for which he has
heretofore had credit, and resist all attempts at

WORCESTER:


VIOLENT Snow STORM. We have been Wis.
tied by one of the most severe and driving snow
storms that have been witnessed in this vicinity
for the last twenty years. 1t commenced snow
ing on Friday about noon, with little or no wind.
Towards night the wind began to blow from
the northwest, and in the course of the evening
became furious, filling the air with clouds Of
snow, which was driven clean from all the ex-
posed situations, and piled up in huge drifts
wherever the force Of the wind was broken
Tho snow continued falling about twenty -four
hours, but the gale lasted much longer. II is
be from twelve to fourteen inches deep. The
roads were so much blocked up tina! the south.
ern mail due here on Saturday morning. and
the eastern mail due on the evening of the same
day, did not arrive till Sunday evening, and IN
to yesterday they had not become regular in
their arrivals. The storm has been yery extern.
sive, and we look for fearful accounts of DAMAGE
done on the sea coast although, as the wind
blew off the shore it will, probably, be much
less than it otherwise would have been.
In New York, the storm commenced several
hours earlier than it did here. The CONNER
cial Advertiser of Friday evening, says, 81 the
day has been sgnalized by one Of the most filri.
Gus snow storms that we, ever witnessed, in any
age, climate or country--not excepting the driv.
ing storms of Nova Zembla." The same paper
of Saturday, says,
The snow continued to fall rapidly until
some time in the evening, [of friday accom-.
panied by high wind, which drove the fakes
IN thick clouds and curling wreaths through
the streets, lanes and alleys Of tho citv. with
furious violence. Those honest people who
undertook to comply with the ordinances o

Bath BANK. The situation of this bank. as
appears by the late return to the Legislature Of
Maine, is such as will induce prudent people to
decline taking its bills. A great part of the
capital is loaned out to directors and stockhoId-

bills in circulation is, we believe, eight or ten
times as much as the remaining or active cap.

PEAR Trees.

Ii is really surprising, says scientific writer, in
alluson to the grating of pears Oh IA ounce stock
that English gardeners should SO long have neglec-
ted the practice, which has long been followed in
France and to which the excellence Of French
pears is in just degree TO be attributed. The ounce
used as stock has the property OF stunt,ng the
growth OF the pears, and forcing them to produce
bearing branches instead OF sterile ones and of &C
celebrating the maturity OF the fruit. No small gar
den should contain pear trees grated any other
way, any large gardens he without them TO a
considerable extent.-New Monthly Mag.
