SNOW.

Although peculiarly exempted from snow
this spring and the past winter, the regions
Of country north, south. cast and west Of US
have received an additional supply.
Al St. Louis on Sunday Of last week
snow fell from early morn until 3 O'Clock
p. H., when it lay upon the ground from
six 10 eight inches in dep,h-a circum-
stance not recorded in the meteorological
table Of that ancient worthy, the ''oldest in.
habitaDt."
In Vermont, on the 2e,h March, the
snow was one foot deep and the slcighioe
had been fine for two or three weeks. in-
deed, the prospect was said to be fair that
thew would have .ssix weeks sleiyhing in
ihe month Of March"
On the same date snow fell AT Richmond,
va..--which is IL degs. south Of 81. Louis
Ito the depth Of niue or ten inches.
Above Us the snow has fallen in such
quantities that, in The language Of the old
residenters, the unusually deep snow Of the
previous winter will bear no comparison
with il. Above ST. Pauls twenty-nnc
inches Of snow fell during the last tw"
weeks of March, and so miles above il Is
full four feet in depth.
From these facts we deduce the conclu-
sioas, that so long as we ore surrounded by
such immense bodies o! snow we must cx-
pect chilling winds and cool weather, and so
soon a. ihe snow above us meis VIC may
anticipate higher water.

should never he weighed wholly in tho bal

is not stronger than might have been wei

SAYS a contemporary, with singular unanlm'
ity, deny tina, the testimony was sufficient
~ positive to authorizes The conviction OF
Webster. Those Of Philadelphia and Bal
,imorc severely and Internationally con
denim the verdict. The Phila. North Amer.
lean says, that ''by far the largest portion
Of the community, embracing the most enl-
n.nt persons or the bar and The bench, look
upon the whole trial rs solemn judicial
nockcry." Il is further said, upon the
authority Of gen,lemen whuha lately visit
ID Washington, that ''the Judges OF the
Supreme Court do not hesitate, in familiar
conversation, TO express their surprise at,
and condemnation Of the whole procedure"
We stated last week that the Parkman
family had voluntarily paid over TO Ephraim
Liulefeid the sun Of $4,000, being The re-
ard offered for the 'sdetection and convic-
ton Of the perpetrators Of any injury that
may have been done Dr. George Pafkman."
Lit,Ieiield said, on the witness stand, at the
Webster trial, Il never made any claim 70
The reward; l never said should, and ] now
>ay that never shall mako any such claim
The Mo. Republican says relative 10 this
matter, "By accepting this sum Of money,
flllefield has scaled his own disgrace.--
That act will induce thousands to suppose
that the suspicion which has attached to
him of being the murderer Of Parkman is
not altogether unfounded. Three thousand
dollars presented moro fascination TO his
mind than the good opinion Of the commu-
nity."
The Washington Republic says, "Ccrtain
we are that we have never known trial
the result Of which has called forth so
strong professional dissent, or has been
the subject ofso much severe and elaborate
professional ccnsure. We must admit,
moreover, that many Of the criticisms which
have met our eye have been marked with
eminent ability, and have produced strong
impression on the public mind. Oitsidc Of
Massachusetts, We npprehend that the pre-.
vaiiing opinion is, not that DR.. Webster is
innocent, bu, that he was no, proved to be
guilty."
