has ssre the SHOWS Of sixty winters, has oppor-
timely furuished us with tie folioving:-
The snow storm Of the 18th and 10th
ult. was the most severe probably
which has occurred for CITY years.
The oldest citizens Of the town do not
recollect any Of 50 long continuance,
or when such quantity Of snow ha.
fallen. Its duration was about thirty
six hours, from Saturday morning I5th
till Sunday evening 10th. 1t is sup
posed the snow fell four feet deep on a
level in many places il is fifteen feet.
During the first twelve or fifteen hours
the wind was very high, and occasion
ed an uncommonly high tide. II will
probably be called the great Snow
Storm Of the nineteenth century.
