Storm In Minnesota.

Storm dispatches from Minnesota, un-
der date of the 18th inst, say, the
storm on the st. Paul and Pacific rail-
road was the severest ever known. AT
station called Kirkhaven there were
several farmers in the town when the
storm first burst upon them They left
fo- home with their teams, and very few
have been heard of since. One wagon
was found containing Mrs Poland and
boy, Doth frozen to death. Many teams,
both Of oxen and horses, are found frozen
in drifts, and the fate of their owners is
unknown.
4 St. Paul despatch says the great
storm resulted in many casualties in Min
nesota and was unprecedented in severity.
Three brothers, Charles, John and Alex
ander o Neill and Thomas and Michael
Holden, each with a two horse team,
started for Wi!lmar with wheat, on Tues
day last, and were ionnd on Friday about
ten miles from home in terrible condi-
ton Two of the 0 Neiiis and one of
the Holdens were found in sleighs frozen
to death. The others were alive, but
