The snow storm of Sunday night changed
considerable wind-a drizzly, cold disagree
able genuine March rain, calculated to give
ANYBODY but christian the ''blues." The
effect upon the ice and snow was to just cause
them to disappear and seek their level in the
ponds, ravines, cellars, and river, until now
the earth is nearly bare and the travelling in
as bad condition as the ''oldest inhabitant'
ever dreamed of Stages are forced to take
wheels, but these drag through snow drifts that
are still quite formidable in the country. The
bad travelling sensibly affects trade, as it is
almost impossible for people living at dis
lance to reach the city without the greatest
difficulty. Instead of six weeks shedding in
March we must try and content ourselves with
six weeks mud, and grin and bear it, un-
til the genial breath of spring" shall bring
us down to ''hard pan" again. At one time it
was thought that a freshet was imminent, and
people were fearful of repetition of the des-
tructive scenes of few weeks ago; but, hap
PLY, the rise in the river was but slight, and
the gale, which was very destructive to prop
erty in other places, caused no damage here
Tic ice from below the dam has broken ND
and the river is clear to the south line of the
arsenal grounds. No more free bridge this
winter, and no more ice harvesting, although
we hear that on Monday gatherers of ice were
at their cool tasks within a few feet of the
open river. t-AA u

The San Domingo Treaty.

The consideration of the San Domingo
Treaty was resumed by the Senate in execu-
tive session this afternoon
Senators Casserly and Cole spoke about
three hours, taking physiological view of
the question, and arguing against territorial
expansion, especially towards the tropics.
Senator Stewart of Nevada favored the
treaty, maintaining that the American people
were opposed to the standing still policy, and
therefore desire territorial expansion as their
inevitable destiny. No action whatever was
taken on the treaty which it is probable will
be laid aside until tomorrow, in order to dis
pose of the Mississippi Senatorial question.
The friends of the treaty express their con-
fidcnce that the delay will gain friends for
ratification, the prospects for which however,
at present are far from favorable.
