Two Pennsylvania gentlemen from York

The snOw.storm OF Monday was the
heaviest that has fallen here since 1856.
The thawIng since has been very slight,
and The sleigbing is now getting very
fine. it having taken several days
TO break the tracks sufficiently. Peo-
pie from the county a few miles distant
report the roads still very difficult, and the
mail is being carried over some Of the lines
on sleighs. The streets OF Slaur ton present
an unusual sight with the great heaps OF
snow four and five feet high piled Just out
side Of the curbstOnes, and narrow track
between so crowded with vehicles and
seighs as often TO cause regular Broadway
Jam. The sight at night, when lie up with
ga. is novel and pretty.

THIRTY-ONE INCHES OF sN0w--GREAT MUIR
TO THE IRON PIERS.

THIRTY.ONE INCHES OF sNOw--GREAT INJURY
TO THE IRON PIERS.
LONG BRANCH, n. J., December 22.-Now
that the storm Is over it is possible 10 esti-
mate the damage It has done. The fall Of
snow Is thlrty-one inches. In the great drifts
two locomotives and passenger train were
buried at BrancbpOrt. Men and boys were
pressed INTO service, and with spades work
ed all night endeayOTing to eXtrlcate the
engines and train. A clearing was made
bv midnight, and a powerful lOcOmO-
tive, armed with huge snow-plougb,
was made fast TO one OF the blocked
engines, but before il could back out am
other drift formed and a third locomotive
was snow bound. There were forty pas
sengers on the train. among the number be-
ing several ladies. The ladies remained in
the coaches during the night. The men
sought quarters at the hotel At 6 O'Clock
this morning the track was cleared as far as
Seabright, and the blockaded people were
sent to their destination.
The Lelands say the damage TO the pier
can be repaired for $4,000. but competent
engineers who visited the wrecked iron
wharf to-day say it will cost $50 000 The
IRON girders and braces were twisted in all
shapes by the force of the sea. Twenty
feet of the north deck of the pier were
swept away. Supported by Il few IRON col
umns, the rest of the deck held, but about
eighty feet OF it careened over and must be
removed.
The New jersey Southern railroad made
no connections at Branchport until noon,
when the snow-bured engines were eXtri-
Gated. The Government wire along the
coast is down, and the other lines are
twisted and broken, so that no intelligence
of marine disasters, if any occurred, can
be obtained. The report of vessel ashore
at Seabright is erroneous.

al the same time cauiioning his assistant,
