SEVERE NrGHT.-We learn from the New York
Times that the passengers who left this city on
Monday morning for New York by the Camden
and Amboy Rail Road reached Burlington at
about II A. NJ, and there took the cars At 6

a monstrous snow Drift, which arrested all fur
Their progress. No effort awaited TO force the
cars over the obstacle, though they backed repea-

ladies' had been without food since leaving Phi
ladelphia, and now with this tremendous storm
Of snow drifting with the bowling wind, had the
prospect Of passing the piercngly cold night in
the cars. IT was proposed that some of the par

cure means for bringing on the rest, but the

the falling snow driving so fllriously in their ia
ces; seemed too hard walk. and ii was given
up. Fifteen or twenty OF the passengers then
started, about 10 O'Clock, to walk back about
mile to little house which they had passed,
where they sat up all night but with the comfort
of fire and shelter. When they had departed,
SIX or seven Of those who remained seeing the
sad condition Of their fellow passengers and es-
especially the ladies, set out on foot for Amboy,
and after unparalleled fatigue and suffering,
reached there in about three hours and half.

paragraph occurs in an article in the Edinburgh

(says the writer are permanently attached TO
rocks and other bodies, yet the young are provi-

pose Of seeking habitation at some distance
from their birth place; and when'they have thus
made their choice Of home, they become
fixture during the rest Of their lives" If such
be the natural history Of the SPONGE what close
affinity does the artificial sponge bear in all
points to its prototype

The rumor continues that the Rev. 0. B.
Brown is to go ont of the Post Office Depart
ment. But, whether he will resign or be turned
out, is not yet known. 1t is whisered that he is
to be put on his trial before the committee; that
il will be "a searching operation" and that as
soon as he shall have passed through it, he will
tender mis- resignation, which will be accepted
with food Of tears that so efficient an arm Of
the department should be stricken off. We do
not know what foundation there is for these re-
