WINTRY WEATHER.-Wnterb beg an in good
earnest, as in duty bound, with the first days of
December. A cold wave settled upon the
country, on the Cd instant, which was followed
by an unusually heavy snow storm. 1t began
showing Saturday night, continuing without in
mission until Sunday afternoon. The snow was
then about five inches deep, but too light to
afford good sleighing. On Monday night the
snow storm was renewed, and the feecy parti-
Giles continued to fall, with slight intermissons,
nearly oil day Tuesday. The snow drifted in
many places, almost completely blocking some
of the roads. 1t was about q foot deep on
level. The sleighing was toleraby good, but
milder weather, on Wednesday and Thursday,
melted the snow and left the roads bare in many
places. Ice 31l inches thick was formed on
some ponds and several persons in Bel Air took
advantage of the fact to partly ill their ice
houses. The ice, however, was not of good
quality, being very porous.
Weather so severe, the frs, week in Decem-
Der, is rather unusual in this latitude
The Susquebanna river and Tide Water Canal
were entirely frozen over and navigation came
To sudden close. Twenty canal boats loaded
with coal were caught in the ice near the out
let lock ut ilavre dc Grace, aud six large barges
loaded with coal for Washington were left
out in the bay among The running ice and snow.
