HEAVY SLEEr AND SNow.-We were visited on Fri
day last By considerable snow, and by the heaviest
sleet we have witnessed in this latitude for years.
Nearly every elm tree in the City has been broken,
and some of them have been borne down and torn
up at the roots, by the weight of the ice. On Sun
day several of the streets impossible, owing to
the broken branches.
The sights and sounds in the forest on Saturday
were startling and imposing. friend who rode that
day some thirty miles, informs US that the crash and
roar were incessant reminding one of the discharge
Of small arms and great guns in a general action
We learn that for fifty miles this side OF Whining

The telegraph wires have no doubt been broken at
many points, and news by lightning will be cut off
for few days.
The sun is now shining pleasantly, and the snow
and ice are rapidly disappearing.
