ruary 2S.-At nine o'clock twenty.three mails
were due Mt the postOfice, and but two had mr.
rived. The storm on the lake yesterday, accord
ing TO an old lake captain. was the most severe
experienced for years. A gentleman who arrived
here from Clinton, Iowa, said that the train
passed through some sections Of prairie where
little armhoGses were almost half submerged
by water, and that miles of railway tracks were
covered.
The storm Of wind aud snow which began
yesterday afternoon still continues. As far ms
can be learned through telegraphic reports.
which are badly interrupted, it has been the
severest storm Of The season in Wisconsin, Iii
nois and Michigan. Minnesota and Western
Ohio have heen only slightly visited by it,
Trains on all railroads centering here are de-
lnyed, and freight trains are not attempting to
move. The telegraph wires are coated with ice,
and few poles in the city have gone down
under the strain Of tho additional weight and
the strong wind.

presiding. Two cases Cor murder and number
Of cases for lower grades Of offences will be
tried in the Sessions Court. There are IN nnu-
sually large number of cases the common
Pleas dcckets, which will keep the court busy
during the allotted two weeks of the term.
We congratulate the court, the bar and the
citizens at large. upon having this year one of
the most intelligen, and sterling Grand Juries
that we have had since the war. The petit
juries are also composed Of some Of the very
best men in the County, up"n whose judgment
and honor any citizen safely and confidently
rest his case. Upon looking over the names of
the Jurors and officers of the court we feel
truly as if the days Of johnson, ONeil, Munro,
Whitner and other pure men Of the judiciary
had returned.

Of not guilty. The evidence for the State was

gregation Of the Presbyterian Church of this
town are expecting to build a new Church edi-
fee. The old church is very inconveniently
located and will soon require extensive repairs
to make it safe and comfortable, and the con-
gregation have concluded that it would be bet
ter to erect church in a more central location
than to spend so much money upon the old
building so far from their residences. We can
not too highly commend the liberal spirit evinced
in the matter by the prominent members Of the
Church. as well as some who ore not members
but who ought TO be.
