storm, prevailing ever since tho day previous,
drove the splashing rain against the shutters

and subsequently to church, where the attend
ance was limited. The rain ceased toward
noon, but the clouds hung dark and lowering
over the city until near sunset, when the wind
came out from the northwest. with March
