A Snow Field of Twenty-Five Thou
sand Cubic Feet in August.

A correspondent of the Boston Tran
script, writing from the White Noun
tains, says:
We had now assembled some five thou
sand feet, and catching a glimpse of a
small snow bank, pushed on in advance
of NY companion, and he was soon dodg-
ing behind the rocks to avoid my snow
balls. What a grand thing it is to have
a snow ball fight in August! And that
within hundred miles of the Hub. -
Verify, times are changing Up, up We
20, and at last what sight greets our
vision! There, far away, high up the
steep prccipice, lay the snow in one
broad vast field The dimensions must
have been at the least one thousand feet
by five hundred in width and height,
while in many places the depth was over
forty or fifty feet. If piled together at Il
depth of ten feet, it without doubt would
have made field of L square form five
hundred feet on side. Thus there must
have been twenty-five thousand cubic feet
of snow in Tuckerman Ravine On the "a
of August. 1861.

teen horses and carts are employed at the

eight horses and carts are at work IN remnv-

the immediate supervision Of Alfred SpateS'
ESQ, the President. who is pushing on the
work with all possible speed and energy. 1t
is confidently expected these heavy repairs
will be completed Wit lin at most tea days
when navigation along the whole line will
once more be resumed and activity will take
the place Of gloom and stagnation among us.
Great apprehension have all along been

in establishing a good understanding among
the people along the line on the Virginia side,
ana that they will not further interrupt it
