THE WEATHER.-Since our last old winter
has been with US in earnest. During Thurs
day and Friday were favored with heavy
sleet, covering the whole country with snowy
robes, and causing sad havoc among the trees,
many of which, especially fruit trees, were de-
stroved. On Saturday the sleet began to thaw,
rendering the streets and roads almost impass-
able but during the night the wind reered
round to the north, and converted every thing
into ice again. Since then the weather has con-
tnued clear and cold.

a native of Columbus, Ga, who has been for
some time employed rs a stage driver between

dict that he came to his death by bullet fred
from gun or pistol by some person unknown.
