The Philadelphia Ledger of the 10Th says The
snow fell during all Wednesday night, accompanied
by gale of wind, which, TO those exposed to II,
seemed to come from every quarter OF the COM
pass, so that II was almost impossible to hoist an
umbrella. An innumerable number of awnings
were demolished by the weight OF the snow, aided
by the fury of the storm.
From the Boston Ploughman, April 81
We have had a cold turn since our last writing,
and no one questions the fact. No weather seems
more unpleasant than a Northwestern blowing very
strong in April, from hills covered with snow.
We learn that on Thursday morning there was
snow enough in Montpelier to make sleighng
Near Boston the snow covered the ground in many
previous days; Neither apples nor pears were for
ward enough here to be bitten. As TO peaches,
some think they were all dead before this blow.
The Salem (Mass.) Register ofthe 10Th inst, says
Snow fell at Portsmouth on Monday, in squalls
and at Rye and Greenland, towns in the vicinity,
ii fell TO the depth Of two or three inches. Captain
Sturgls, who was with his revenue cutter at Gou-
cester on Monday, spoke and boarded about
thirty sail of Eastern vessels, which were com
pletely iced up. In Salem the mercury fell to Is
above zero, on Sunday and Monday mornings.
The Osrego Times says:-The wind has blown
from the west and northwest for the last sixty
hours. with slight variations and without abate-
ment, accompanied with snow squalls and with IA
sufficient degree of cold to vessels with ice,
where exposed to the dashing waters and the
raging seas Seldom have the waters of Ontario
been more deeply and profoundly agtated Every
thing bound out has been weather bound since
Friday night, and nothing has entered the harbor
SINCE the vessels brought in by the gale on Satur-
day Much apprehension is felt here for the safety
OF vessels known TO have been out at the COM
mencement of the gale OF the Lewiston and
Ogdensburgh line of steamers, the Cataract is the
only one In port The rigging of vessels exposed to
the dashng spray IN the lower harbor, is loaded
with ice TO the mast head To this hour we hear
of no serious disaster, and the furious element gives
signs OF exhaustion and abatement. The wind has
luled to-day, and the weather is moderating.
The Watertown (Wisconsm) Chronicle of April
4th, says: I'VE have taken considerable pains to
ascertain the prospect of the growing wheat CROP
IN tins and the adjoining counties, and are happy in
being able to state that is truly hattering. The
weather has been peculiarly favorable since the
main SO, the prospect will be fair of an abundant
harvest. We think the wheat product of this State
will be at least one hundred per cent larger this
year than II was last"
The Sentinel and Gazette speaks favorably of the
crop IN the eastern counties.
