A STORM INcIDENT.-The Worcester
{ Mass } Spy relates the following incident
of the late storm in that city: "A lady
and gentleman were caught by a whid-
wind near Webster Square, and the former
narrowly escaped perishing. They were
riding home oany in the evening, and
were suddenly alarmed by distant roar
Ing. A tremendous gust of wind, carry
ing with il clouds of the light snow, struck
them in another instant. The horse was
thrown down and the sleigh tipped over,
the occupants being half buried in a snow
drift, The gentleman wrapped the lady
up in the buffalo robes and succeeded in
pllcing her under the sleigh. The vio-
lence of the whirlwind continued for sew
eral minutes. When it had sufficiently
subsidized he succeeded in getting his sleigh
righted, placed the lady in it aud drove to
his house, which was close by. When
they arrived the lady was thoroughly be-
numbed and unconscious from the cold.
She was with difficulty restored to con-
seriousness, having barely escaped perishing
with the cold within sight of her own
dwelling. On the highway there has been
no such trouble for twenty years. The
Highway Commissioner has force of 200
men at work, but is unable to keep the
roads open for travel. The snow blows in
much faster than it can removed"

The President Message.

The message Of the President, communi-
Gated to Congress on the 3r;i inst. is re-
garled generally rs very able document.
His views upon the question of finarce and
civil service reform are commended by most
of the Republican papers, while Che Demo-
cratic papers and some CT the Republican
papers particularly commend his opinions
on the Southern question. Hon. A. II. Ii.
Stuart, of this place, gives the message his
hearty approval. lie thinks the President
has placed himself on very high national
ground, and particularly so upon the South
crn and finance issues. lie thinks MIR.
Hayes is doing 4 vast good for the country
and that his atlminists alton should be heart
lily supported by all who desire the peace
and prosperity of the nation, and regard
these as paramount TO mere partizan issues
We have read the message with care and
consider it one of the best that has even
been submitted TO Congress. The spirit
and temper of it, as well as the practical
Views and suggestions it contains, place Mr.
HAYES hiel, up in the lole OF statesmen.
The Valley Virginian. [volume] (Staunton, Va.) 1865-1895, 1877-12-06
Tea and Coffee.

The recommendation in the President S
Message OF Il tax OF 2 cents per pound Or
Coffee and 10 cents on Tea, will not meet
with public favor, nor should it. These ar
ticles enter into the consumption of every
family; whether rich or poor, and as the
poor OF the country rate as about 10 to | of
the rich, it is apparent that the tax would
be heavy upon those who are not able to pay
it. 10 raise the estimated amount Of $l2,-
10000 this tax would produce, there are
plenty OF other articles which do nob consti-
tiltc part of the daily diet of all classes,
that might be enhanced. 1t is scarcely ne
eessary TO elaborate the reasons why this
fax should not be imposed, AS we have no
idea that mem bers Of Congress will seal
their own doom by supporting the recon-
mendati0n y'
