Local Correspondence.

That cyclonic wind and snow storm that
startled the jewellers of Pittsburg about
6 p. M, 9Th inst, frenzied Johnstowners
at 7 p. M, caused the denizens of Thur
mont to sit up and look about at p. m. =,
and butted up against Baltimore an hour
later, probably, in its frenzy, drowned
in the Atlantic ocean a little later on.
It's onward rush and noise while coming
down through the defiles of the Blue
Ridge was somewhat appalling. Here
the storm did not last more than fifteen
minutes, but in point of fury and rapid
fall and twirling about of snow, the like
has been seldom if ever witnessed.
Owing to the absence of wind during
the snowfall on Sunday last and for sew
eral days following, there has been no
drifting in this neck of the grove.
Sleighs were again dragged out Mon
day morning in order that the owners
might take advantage of what was prob
ably the last sleighing of the season.

With the aid of a crutch, our veteran

is able to again appear on the streets.
AS result of fall on the ice Mr.. Cover
had been closely confined to his home for
about fortytwo days. In age he has
passed the fourscore mark.
Doubtless our western friends, those
of the Pacific slope especially, will learn
with interest of the ten-inch drop of the
beautiful snow here Sunday last. That
it was of the soft clinging variety, stuck
to everything it touched and when Mon
day morning dawned, the scene was one
of enchanting beauty. The earth and all
therein, buildings, fencing, trees to their
uttermost branches and even the Blue
Ridge slope were drapped in snowy white,
a typical fairy land was ours.
Mondays weather being characterized
by calm bright sunshine and 43 degrees
temperature, by night fall fully half of
the snow fall had disappeared.
