from Milbank, D. T., says: The situa-
ton here ls growing serious. The road
wei opened to blockadsd srains between
here and Big Stone yesterday, and a train
b.ought in. The train with the eastern
mail is stuck at Ortonyille, and the one
from the west ct Twin Brooks. west OF
here. This CITY will Dor be short OF coal,
and there is not q pound Of sugar in the
dealers hands. Wlmot is ous OF coal,
while Corona and Twin brook have
neither coal mol wood.
h;mball, Jan. H-After the effects OF
the recent blizEardhsYe been al1 brought
TO light, the results are far less appalling
in this county than at first was feared.
The amount OF stock frozen ia not very
great, although the losses are mostly
hnnched.
Y The Waterbury stage-driver, Gingery,
and his lady passenger, Addie Allen, are
the SUBJECTS OF much pity, their injuries
being severe. Gingery has endured
seven amputations, losing one foot, one
hand, three fingers and two toes. Miss
Aliens father arrived q few dsys since,
having walked from Mitchell, fifty
miles. Her afianced is on the road from
Iowa. Both the lady's fest were ampu-
tated yesterday, and the ~react,un has
just set 10. For the next forty. eight
hours her life hangs BY 8 thread. We
have had no mails or trains for seventeen
days. j
