are indebted for this very agreeable in

@We have had one of the severest
snow storms within the last few DAYS,
which we have seen for years. There
was heavy TALL of rain thro' the night Of
Friday, which towards morning turned
to snow, and continued without inter>
mission until Sunday morning, and par
italy throughout that day. But for the
state of the ground, we question much
whether it would have been less than
two feet deep. On Monday morning
the weather became clear and warm,
aud the snow is fast disappearing. The
mails were interrupted by the storm,
and we think it quite probable will be
again, by the condition of the roads and
water courses
