A Severe Storm.-The first snow storm
OF any Importance this winter set In at
an early hour yesterday morning, and By

A high cold wind accompanied the snow,
drifting IL in every direc tion, SO that on
many OF the streets, vhils tho sidewalks
on one side would be almost entirely
clear Tor squares, the ether side woulo
be covered several inches deep. About
midday the ma nre Of the storm changed
the wind continuing high From the north
east, and ram and slset ninglinR with
the snow. UmhrellAs were but little
protection, the strong wing driving the
storm against the body and making the
carrying Of an umbrella a aifioult task.
