> The Heather Hind and Dust. Since Sun
day we have been enjoying ''real genuine
March weather, notwithstanding the almanac
makers tell US it is the month of gentle show
ers and early buds. On Monday night, the
wind changed to the northwest, and has since
been in terrible rage, blowing apparently
with all possible fury, raising the dust the en-
tire day yesterday, i'll dismal and suffocating
Clouds causing our streets to wear most me-
lancholy appearance, and our citizens to re-
treat within doors to save themselves from suf-
location. The atmosphere, too was sharp
and biting through the day, notwithstanding
the sun occasionally peered forth from under
the flying clouds. On Monday night the frost
was severe, and yesterday morning ice was
Il considerable thickness. As matter of
curse the early fruits will be "npped in the
bud" if not entirely destroyed, while farming
operations will be seriously impeded, as we
learn that in many places in the country snow
fell on Sunday so as to cover the ground. The
wind, however, appears to be assuming more
gentle disposition, and we trust that ere this
| reaches the eye Of the reader, the dust in our
streets will be permitted to lie quietly where
our ''cty fathers" by their negative action,
appear determined it shall remain, as we think
| it "clearly constitutional" that they are the
proper persons to have it removed.
i County Court. The first case taken up in
this Court yesterday, was that OF free colored
man, who sued for damages upon the presump-
ton that he had been illegally whipped under
