THE Snow STORM IRIS Local EFFECTs.-
The snow Storm of las. week was the heaviest
that has visited this section of country since
1881. The storm of that year, was stated at
the time to have b en- greater than any that
ha" occurred in the previous sixty years.
Two men were lost in the storm in this
county and f.ozen to death. We published
"nc of the cases las week as Nathan Ireland
That was a mistake: it was James Rial-N
than sill lives. A gentleman, for whom Ire
land had worked last summer, told us he lift.
cd the dead man up and looked in his face
anait was Nathan Ireland coffin was or.
dcrcd for Nathan Ireland and made for him
hut when some one sought his dwelling to
inform his wife of the sad event, the old man
was found sitting by the fire smoking his
pipe.
The other man who was frozen, was named
VIM. Mills. lie was wood chopper, who
lived alone in a hut in the woods, in the Sc
cond district. lie had been at store, some
miles away, for liquor and provisions, and
firing out on the way back, laid down and
died. He had hung his wallet, containing
what he had purchased on a tree, but though
released Of his load he could not weather the
storm.
The storm was so severe that several yo,nr
and stout men who were out were scarcely
able to make thcirway through it. The depth
of the snow, which drifcd so that its exact
depth could not be asccrain,d. was variouslv
estimated by different persons, a. from 20 to
3a inches. The roads, for time, were all
lmpassabc-Somc of them cannot yet be
travelled. On Sunday it raincd several hours
and the streams in this county were much
swollen; had not the snow blocked mp the
ravincs and drains so much there must have
been a terrible frcshet, and great disaster
along the mill streams. The railroad track
was damaged considerably, near Charlestown
so As to detain the cars few hours.
No regular mail reach here by the Easton
route from the lS.h ul.. until the lst inst.
The Chestnut Level ma l was unal lie to go all
fora week. On Wednesday, so bad were the
roads still, that all the horses, Qour), in the
Eastern Shore mail coach were down in the
road at once and it is still with great difficult
ty that any team can travel. Parke & Bro.
have had one wagon going with twelve mules
to it,
Among the inconvenience, not the slightest
is, that our town has ben almost entirely
shut up from market people and wood wagons
Inc SNOW is, however. now, Thursday even
ns) g"ins away gradually, but rapidly and
We soon hope to zee things as usual Il is
.''''''' though that the roads must be very
''' 'of "tch ~rtwo if no longer.

out in reply to the letter of Senator Douglass
to the New Hampshire Reporter. Mr.. B. pro-

but contends thatits provisions have not been

that certain leaders Of he dcmocratic arty
in New Hampshire have always feared to
meet tie slavery question boldly, and are now
using Senator d., by which they have effect
cd two purposes, namely: they have used him
to carry out their schemes in New Hampshire
and also have "uscd him up''-for the Prosi-
dcncy. IIcnccforth he may bcrcgard,d as no
obstacle in the way Of the election
