THE WEATHER. About quarter past seven
yesterday morning driving storm set in from
the southeast and by nine o'clock the ground
was covered to the depth of about an inch. 1t
then changed to hail and finally terminated in
q rain storm, Owing to the fact that people
forebore to sweep the snow from their side
walks as soon as it began to hail pedestranism
was attended with much discomfort, the walk
ing being very sloppy and slippery.
A heavy gale was blowing during the after
noon, and the wires between Boston and New
York were working very hard, so that no dis
patches from the west for the press were re-
ceived during the day. In the evening the
wind abated aud the rain ceased, but heavy
fog hung over the city: The trains from the
west were delayed about an hour by the storm
but those from the east were on time. A large
feet of coasters are situated between this city
and Boston, and we fear they have suffered
considerable damage.

BROWN AND RANDALL-We were told yes
terday that Walter Brown and j. w. Ran
DALI the Otrsmen, were making such long
visit in England because they were important
witnesses IN a case shortly to be tried. 1t
seems that they were passengers on board the
steamer of the Inman line from New York to
Liverpool which carried out the Harvard crew,
and on the passage lady passenger had the
misfortune to fall down hatchway and re-
ceive serious injury. On arriving in England
she brought an action against the Steamship
Company, placing her damages as high as
EGO, 900, for she was wealthy herself, and
therefore thought her injuries were of more
than those of poorer person
would be. She could not secure any of the
passengers as witnesses who had been present
when the accident occurred, as they scattered
for different parts of Europe as soon as they
arrived in Liverpool, with the exception of
Brown and Randall, and she is paying all their
expenses while there in order that they may
give their evidence when the case comes on for
trial. We tell the story as it was told to us.

ne WILL OF THE LATE JABEz g. Woo

The WILL OF THE LATE JABEz 9. Woop-
MAN.-The Hill Of the late Jab-s G. Woodman
has been filed in the Probate Office. 1t is
very peculiar will, being full of curious be-
quests, and the phraseology is in many places
quite singular. He commences by requesting
that sin suitable time after his decease his
natural body shall be inferred by the side Of
the remains of his former wife in the Western
Cemetery" Sc He then devotes portion of
his will to his religious belief, thinking it
proper to bear his testimony and conviction of
a future life as a continuance of the present
one.' (Mr. Woodman was Spiritualist.) He
requests bis heirs to pay all his just debts, and
to take no advantage of the Statute of L;mita-
ton if it could be lawfully applied to any lust
debts, neither any note to be defended by them
for want of consideration, and that in regard to
certain notes on which he had agreed to pay
interest at the rate of $40 per cent. per an
mum, such interest shall continue to be paid
and be compounded semi-annually. He gives
his mansion-house with the lot of land on
which it stands 10 his wife and three unmar-
ried daughters during his wifes life, remainder
to the three daughters at her death. The
household furniture is mostly left to the same.
There are many very curious requests OF sin
gle books to different individuals of his half of
picture to his wife which was originally pre-
sented to them both jointly. One hundred
dollars are left to the Children's Progressive
Lyceum, of Spiritualists. To his wife he be-
queaths also $4,000, to be invested in Bangor
and Bath city scrip To his son Jabez c.
Woodman, Jr., his law library and Office fur
niture. He gives number of books to the
Portland Institute and Public Library All
books not otherwise devised are to be left at
the family mansion during the rest OF his wife's
life for the benefit of the daughters who remain
unmarried, but 81 do not include" he says,
"any copies of my Reply to Dwight which may
be on hand These intend shall be seld.''-
He bequeaths $1,000 to his brother George w.
Woodman, on condition that he will support
his sister Julia, should the sum left her by his
father become expended during her life. 9th
erwise he leaves it to her. He devises his
house and land in Cape Elizabeth to his son
Jabez G. Woodman, if the other property is
sufficient to pay the other legacies and expens-
es of administration. He appoints his SON ia
bez G. Woodman and his son-in-law Jonathan
G. Stanton, Executors, ard the will is signed

THE POULTRY MARKET-There was much
larger number of wagons loaded with poultry
about the markets yesterday, but there was
very little that was choice. Nevertheless, Inc
prices were raised, and market-men asked
from 80 to 40 cts for turkeys, % to 10 cents ior
chickens and 80 to SO cents for geese, and 30
cents for ducks. The farmers prices were from
three to five cents lower We saw one citizen
VINO turned away from cart with a look Of
intense disgust on his countenance. "Thirty-
nVe cents Tor them" said he, swell, 1 guess my
family won't eat turkey tomorrow at any
such price. 1 can get half hundred Of cod
fish for what turkey will cost, and give the
children surfeit on fish-balls" We hone an
other year that the governors of the severa,
States will choose separate days for Thanks
giving, and then there will be enough poultry
in the market for all at living prices, although
we understand that there are some grounds 70,
the high prices this year, poultry not having
| been as plentiful as usual.

RALEIGH, Nov. 1.-THE Legislature having
quorum proceeded to transact business. The
Governor, in his message, after the usual con-
gratulatory preface, alludes to the State debt
and general condition of the finances. He puts
the total amount of the State debt at $29, 49,
645. The Governor says: regret to state that
the Treasurer has been unable to meet the in
terest on the old bonds. 1t will be necessary
to fund the interest due on these bonds, and it
is for the General Assembly to decide for what
time the interest shall be funded. The mes

of the public debt, favors a liberal system OF
common schools, and recommends change in
