blizzard has come TO stay. and are banking up
their houses aud laying in a New England
supply Of wood and coal. 4 man who re-
Gently came here from the East TO get rid OF
the cold winter there, was bundled I'D il all
overcoat, shivering around one Of the hotels
in this city, when all Of a sudden he resolved
to emigfste again for warmer weather, and,

condition Of the weather in the southern part
of the State. Hesaid he had not. A paper

the bricks of the side walls from the top to
the ground, and the front wall commenced
leaning into the street, when it was sup

GUS long props of scantling. A portion of
the eide wall was blown off to the ground.

inches, aud a rope is stretched around in
