open their track and have succeeded in clearing i:
as far as Milford Ever since the Goth we have had
occasional travel from here to Richmond, and
trains now run regularly twice day each way
have heard of but one person, a free man of
color, being frozen to death. A colored woman,
who lived iu this neighborhood, was burnt to death
in her house.
The snow drifted in this vicinity from 10 to Is

plantations mostly, the main roads being impassa-
BILE. 1t cost no little effort to bring US the mail,
with heavy load, on hors eback, about eight miles
from the junction, and much more from this place

our daily companion, kept up; and was much
delighted at receiving it in good condition to day
May it prosper in future, and never be hid from
