WIyTER GRArS.-Many inquiries arc
daily made among farmers, says the
Philadelphia Inquirer as to the condition
Of the winter grain and the effects Of the
present heavy bed Of snow Some enter
tain fears that there may be a coating Of
ice on the top Of The ground, sufficient
20 smother the grain; others think the
ice Is not sufficient 70 iujure it, and the
snow will eaectualIy protect it,from the
cold. We understand that, where tie
ground under the snow has been amin
ed, it has been found to be frozen to the
depth Of three or fourinchos only Tic
snow keeps tbc earth warm.

A DUEL NEAR NEW ORLEANS. We
have already briefly mentioned that a
duel was fought on Sunday, tho ID inst,
near New Orleans, between two men
from Selma, Ala, named Quarics and
Bell, brothors-in-law. The New Orleans
Bee says:
Fiye-shooting rovolyors were the wea-
pons, and ten PAGES the distance. At
the first fire Qualies' hat was pierced by
his antagonists ball; at the second.
Quaries was shot through the ear at
the third, he received a ball through his
check. The fourth round Of shots was
fired without any effect. Bell had thus
far escaped, but at the fifth fire he was
wounded III the hip, and his adve@:s;a.r;;,
in the shoulder. The wounded men
were then taken to a house at NIilneburg.
and on Sunday evening were carried on
board the steamer and went back to
Mobile. The origin of the difficulty is
said TO be this: Ben had married Quarics'
sister, and had treated her, it is alleged
very badly. Quaries went to his brother
in-law's house to call him to account,
when an ARRAY resulted, in which the
latter was very dangerously shot Bell
fed to this city, but was arrested here
and taken back, hut Quaries declined
prosecuting him, choosing to settle the
matter by duel

GREAT sNow sroan.-At Oswcgo,
N. Y, snow storm set in on last Fri
day week, and continued four days.
The Palladium thus describes the scene
after the storm ceased:
Our city riyaled the winter scenes Of
the Arctic regions, and such storm
could only be equalcd there Thcstreots
in many parts Of tho city, were impas-
sable, the snow ranging from four 20 ten
aud twenty feet in depth, and in some
places the drifts are thirty feet deep.
Many.af the residences were banked up
with snow to the second story. Water
street is totally impossible. The river
is almost entirely closed up to the lower
bridge, an extraordinary occurrence, and
Wild ducks took refuge in the little open
water near the bridge during the storm,
from the raging elements on the Lake.
OF course the roads into the interior are
completely impossible, aud it is impos-
sible to say how soon we shall get a
communication with the country. The
snow now lies to a depth on u level Of
from six to eight feet in the woods.

AWFUL COLLISION ON THE SOUTHERN
MrcmGAN RAILROAD The Sandusky
(Ohio) Mirror of the Sth inst, gives
the following particulars of the Southern
Michigan Railroad accident, near Hills
dale, Michigan:
The two trains-one Eastern and one
Western bound-which came into COLI
sion near IIillsdalc, were both off time,
but. as appears, were not equally we'll
conducted. The through mail train going
East was running at the rate of about
thirty miles per hour and had out no
head Highland this, notwithstanding it
was midnight and heavy snow falling,
and the train much behind time. The
train bound West was going very slow,
had out lights, &c and in entering upon
u curve west OF IIillsdale was run into by
the through mail train. The collision
was dreadful, completely demolshing
engines, tenders and baggage cars.
Three men, firemen, baggage-mastcr and
track master, were killed outright, apd
three others 50 badly injured that recoy-
cry is deemed impossible.
The mail car, containing the great
Eastern bound mail and through baggage
was Immediately set on fire, and lis
contents completely consumed; and, hor-
rible to relate, the bodies of the track
master and baggage-master were burnt
up almost entirely, only their manglod
remains were rescued,
The loss is very great. The mail
being the Great West, bags bound East
must have contained much valuable
matter in money, drafts, &c. The bag
gage was all burned. except one trunk.
The locomotives, tenders and baggage
cars are perfect wreck, and passenger
cars are more or less injured
