snow storm in the NOrrhwest.

/ Saginaw Courier, 3D..
/ May first this year was a surprise to
/ even the oldest inhabitsnt. The day
was ushered in by snow storm which
! in severity has not been exceeded by any
that occurred during the winter. Tue
wind blew q perfect gale, and the dTiY-
ing, binding snow which came down
thick and fast rendered outdoor exer-
else extremely unpleasant, ana only
those whose business was urgent ven
tured forth. About eight inches OF snow
fell here, and wagons gave place to
sleighs, which fitted to and' fro right
merrily. About seven o'clock in
the evening it stopped snow
ing, but the night was cold,
and nature had a wintry and cheerless
appearance. The trains on the lines OF
railroads were not delayed materially by
the storm, but on the street railways To-
comOtion was impeded. The storm ex-
tended all over this portion OF. the State,
as will be seen by the following received
