A local correspondent writes Mr.. jeremiah
Bean of this city, speaks in the Journal of the
Doth, of q snow storm of unusual violence, &c,
ffty-seven years ago in Augusta. Here are min
utes from nv diary of April 18th, 1852. East
Day.: "A violent northeast snow storm, very
damp. began at about noon and continued forty
eight hours; so much fell that Ephraim Ballard
who was street commissioner, broke out the next
dsy the principal streets with oxen attached to
large logs in shape of triangle 1t was very
cold after the storm for few days; then the snow
disappeared very rapidly. The writer was to pass
the evening from home, but at o'clock of that
evening he had to "put," such was the fury of the
storm, and reached home much the worse for eS,
ertions in getting through what snow had
then fallen" The above storm you will see was
thirty -four years ater than that mentioned by Mr..
