The Storm.

Winter has not taken his departure yet-not
by any means. People who had supposed that
snow storms had ceased for the season found
themselves mistaken last evening, for about 0
O'Clock the white Makes began TO come down In
real earnest, and In half an hour mother earth
received new white coat. II was none OF your
meagre storms. The clerk Of the weather had
apparently plentiful stock Of the article stll on
hand, for 1t was sent down In quantities 10 suit
even the most exactlng taste. At 10 o'clock
when people began TO leave the Capitol. they
were horrlned, upon reaching the outer doors, 10
md an inch OF snow on the ground and plenty
more rapidly descending. To add to the un-
pleasantness OF the occasion, but few cars were
running, and these were literally packed. -Four
horses were rendered necessary to draw the
heavy loads they contained. or course there
were not anything like sufficient accommoda-
tlons for all TO ride, and as last resort handkeT-
chiefs were thrown over bOnnets by the ladies'
skirts were tucked up, and the pilgrims set out
upon their homeward Journeys, The procession
moved rapidly up Pennsylvania avenue In Indian
Ole, and that thOroughfaTe was rendered gay by
the merry laughter OF some added TO the strong
eXclamAtlOns Of others who were thus forced 10
face the music, or, rather, the storm. The snow
came down very lively, and reports by telegraph
state that II extends over large surface Of cOun-
try, It Is TO be sincerely hoped that old winter
will now start for his northern home, aud leave
