Snow StoKM. Those misguided persons who
.r.Ui taiucd an i.Ua that Hie weather clerk had
concluded to favor us with no more (-now storms
this season, must have been greatly chagrined
on Sunday, when the feathery Hakes commenced
to fall in a way that pave indicitioi-b of one of
the heaviest stoims of Ihepe-ioi:. The snow
flakes as large as any we have yet seen com
menced to descend early ir. the morning with
great rapidity and continued during the entire
dav. Iu the evening the t-lorui v.as varied by a
flight rain fr a fcbort period. Subsequently
snow again commenced fallitii:, and the wind
rUiug drifted it considerably, and continued until
about 4 o'clock on Monday morning. There
was between twenty and twenty-four inches of
snow fell during the day and niulit on Sunday.
On Monday morning the spectacle out of doors
was anything but pleasant to look upon. With
about IS inches or more snow on the ground
that had fallen previously, nnd the addition of
several feet more caused a complete blockade.
The railroad tracks and public roads were drift
ed that it was almost impossible to pass over.

track by these locomotives was a graud sithl
and was witnessed by hundreds of persons as
they passed through town. The employees of
the shops were engaged during the entire day in
clearing the road, and passenger trains were
enabled to pass over the rouds after a delay of
some seven hour. Along the narrows below
this Place the snow bad drifted to the depth of
ten aud twelve feet, and as the passenger trains j
passed through, the snow reached above the j
windows of the coaches.
This snow storm is considered tho heaviest,
aud deepest that has occurred in this vicinity
since the recollection of the oldest inhabitants.
Pedestriauism was a matter of extreme difficul
ty, and the snow brigade had an abundance of
work during the day in clearing the tide walks.
The high mounds of snow piled up along the
streets, presents a sceue never before witnessed
in this place. It is causing great apprehension
of high water and a disastrous flood.

Death or an Estimable Lady. On Monday
evening lart, Mrs. Niobe Heller, wife cf Win. A.
Heller, died nt her residence on Arch street, in
this place. Scarce a year since this young couple
were joined iu the holy bonds of wedlock, and
have lived together in uuity and love, surround
ed by friends with their blessings that they
tnight t-njoy a long und peaceful life. But,
alas! the messenger of death has parted them,
aud they are again separated until they join each
other in that home where there is no parting, j
The deceased was a most estimable young wo-
man, attractive iu erson and of a most auiiabie
disporiliou, a consistent member of fhe church,
and leading a strictly christian life, pure in
thought and deed. Respected by ihis whole
community, her death will cause a vacuum
which will never be tilled. Mrs. Heller was the
daughter of Mr. Sol. Slroh, of this place, aud
iChVcs a babe aud a loving husband, to mourn
her early departure to another aud better world.
Ir we felt disposed to disregard the courtesies
and refinement of social life, or the respectabili
ty and intelligence of our readers, wo might
sloop to reply to the dirty article that appealed
in the Watsonlown licrord of last week, and
which was copied, without any reserve or qualms
of conscience by the dignified Daily of this place.
Indecent literature, cveu when adorned by flights
of wit and fancy, should uot be t-'erated in a fa
mily paper pretending to respectability. Vulgar
allusions or a play upon words, eveu in conier
sntion, are avoided by gentlemen, and are simply
outrageous when round in the columus of a
newspaper. If the editor of these papers think
such arguments arc acceptable to the Democra
cy, they arc paying a Very poor complimeut to
the intelligence and reiectubility of that party.
Post OrricE Notice Oiticiai.. Thu post
master at this place hss received official notice
of the passage of the postage law, by which the
rates of postage o. transient matter is doubled.
It is to the interest of the public that they ob
serve this change iu the lw, as otherwise the
mail matter placed in the office for delivery, if
i not properly laid, is thrown into the waste
basket, there being uo wav by which the senders
thereof can be identified. Hereafter the postage
on all third class matter, which comprises alj
transient newspajiers, periodicals, books, mer
chandise, samples, and everything of a miscella
neous character allowed to be transported in the
U. S. mails, will be oue cent for each vvrti e or
fraction thereof iu weight, instead of one cent
I for every two ounces or fractious thereof, and
this class of matter ?'f le J'ul'.y prepaid by
stamps attached to it, or it will be held for j'oi-t-age
aud Sv-utto the Dead Letter Office at Wash
ington, D. C. The act inakiug this chauge of
rates was approved March 1875, and is now
complied with at the stuubury post oillce.
Ot K ueighbor of the Dully i fortunate thai he
will never cause his fricuds any trouble, by
softening of the brain.
The average depth of packed or settled snow
now on the ground is about two feet or equiva.
lent to about four feet newly fallen snow. This
melted or converted into water would measure
five or six inches In depth. If such a vast body
of enow was converted iut.o wuter in twenty-four
hours, every stream would overflow its banks,
and the low lauds everywhere would bo flooded.
Fortunately this is, if uot physically impossible,
an event wholly improbable. Even heavy rains,
accompanied by south winds, would require sev
eral days to carry off all the snow, especially in
the forests. It is, however, jusl sub au event
that makes such large bodies of snow dangerous.
The great flo d of March 17lh, 1 Si5, was
caused by a heavy and inci&suul rain storm,
which continued for twelve hours the night pre
ceding, not only melting the heavy soon, but
carrying it down the mountain torrents into the
already swollen stream. Should the snow pass
away through the iuSueiice of the sun aud winds,
which is most probable, we shall have uo more
than au ordiuary trenhet. There is, perhaps,
more danger from lee gorges than anything else
From this, there is icas apprehensiou of danger
with a high flood than a low one, as it requires
more water lo carry off lhe heavy ice.
The bam of John W. Fryling, iu l'pier Au
gusta towuship, broke down from the weight of
snow oe. the roof audi he jarring caused by a thiesh
ing machine, ou Saturday last. Several men
were threshing grain iu the barn al the time, and
rour horses outnide. Fortunately no one was in
jured, and the horses escaped uninjured. We
are iufonned that Mr. Fryling iutendi rebuilding
the baru as soon as thu weather will permit.

one of the scries of prosecutions growing out of
an old grudge against Bacher of several years
standing. While Mr. Bacher is taking the mat
ter coolly, Mr. Smuek shows a determination to
be before the Court at every session with com
plaints against Bacher. Last Court Smuek was
sentenced to pay costs of prosecution and com
mitted to the county jail for thirty days. Now
Smuek has returned with several charges against
Bacher. Iu this case the jury found Bacher not
guilty, and directed Smuek to pay the costs.

township, died at bis residence In that place, on

About Floods. The Williamsport Gazette
BtiJMiu says : The recent heavy falls of snow
are occasioning much alarm among the inhabi
tants along the West Branch ; many of them are
fearful tluit the spring will be characterized by
disastrous floods.
The two heaviest floods within the recollection
of our citizens occurred in October, 1S47, and
in March, 18U5. The Hood of 1S17 was entirely
from ruin, and if w e are uot mistaken, the water
rose to the height of 25 feet.
Iu March, 1SC5, there was a vast body of snow
on the ground. Oniy three or four days before
the flood the sleighing w.is good, say up to the
12lh of Mereii. For two or three days before
the flood the mercury stood at summer beat, iu
consequence of which the river was filled, bank
full, with snow water. On lh evening before
the water attained its highest mark, occurred
one of the most terrific rainstorms which was
ever known in this valley.
All the circumstance? were extremely unfor
tunate, and such n combination i not likely to
occur again.
In April, 1S51. it commenced snowing on the
14th of April and snowed heavily until the lSlb.
Ou the morning of the 18lh the snow was not
less than three feet, and yet this vast body of
snow was dissolved by the warm sun of April
withou. any high flood, although the waters kept
up to a good height for many days.
The present fall of Know is uo't 60 great in the
mountain regious as in the lower counties, and
the sources of supply consequently not so great.
The clearin- out of the smaller streams for the
purpose of driving logs has fumithed better
channels for the surplus water to run off, there
by shortening the duratiou of high wuters.
While we do not like the appearance of Uiings,
still if we can have a few warm days without
any rain the great body of snow will disappear,
and all danger of a disastrous flood will be past.

For all Female Complaints,
iu young or old, married or biugle, at the dawn
of womanhood or the change of 'life. Dr. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription manifests such a positive
ly remedial iutlucnce us to cull forth the loudest
praise from all who use it.
Mr. John A. Kimzey, lruggi-t,of Knob Noater,
Mo., writes as follows :
"Ir. R. V. Pieiice, Buffalo, N. T., Ota, Sir
Your medicines sell better than any other I keep,
aud give universal satisfaction. The people are
especially delighted with your Favorite Prescrip
tion, and it seems to be a favorite among all
that have ever used it." It is sold by druggists
aud dealers in medicines.
Editor's Table.
A Valuable New Book. The giory of the
picscnt age is the diffusion of usul'ui information.
The appearance therefore of any new publication
that bids fair toeulighteu the masses stiil more
fully, upon any practical subject, Bhould be re
garded as reasonable ground for congratulation.
It gives us pleasure threfor to call the attention
of our Readers to Dr. R. V. Pierce's forthcoming
book entitled The People's Common Sense Medi
cal Adviser. This work will coutaiM about nine
hundred pages, will be well bound, illus rated
with about two hundred wood cuts and colored
plates, and sent by mail to any address for the
unprecedentedly low price of S1.50. It will be
ready for delivery early in April. The Author
has become widely aud favorably known to tho
American as well us the people of several foreign
nations, through his Family Medicines, and as
the founder ot the World's "Dispensary at Buf
falo, N. Y., established for the treatment of
Chronic Diseases, aud now ventures to appear iu
the new role or authorship. From a perusal of
advance pages, we believe the book is calculated
to be eminently useful, it embraces a wide
range of subjects, all of them hearing with more
or lees directness upon the all-important ques
tion of health. Biology, Physiology, the Cere
bral Functions, the Human Temperaments, and
Hygienic Treatment, or Nursing of the sick, re
ceive that attention which their relative impor
tance demauds. Physical and Mental Culture,
Ventilation, Sleep; Cleanliness, Food, Beverages I
and Clothing are practical topics and are treated !
in a practical manner. The use of Water as a I
Remedial Agent receives that attention which it
deserves. Under the head of Remedies for Dis-
eases is presented a list of our most nseful iu- j
digenous medicinal plants, together with their
properties and uses aud pictorial representations
of many of the most important. The approprl-
nie uose oi eacn renieuv is aisu iveu. .iiitr .v

in New York writes as follows of Sckiisneh for '
March :
'I suppose that after this March number of
Major Powell's Colorado paper is published the
public will wake up lo the extraordiuury interest
of the scries, both in story and illustration, and
will be looking up the back numbers. A more
splendid feat has seldom been described so mod

compcllvd to reprint all the issues since the be
ginning of tho volume iu November."
Dr. Holland's "Story of Sevcnoaks" may have
something to do with this unusual demand. Thi
reaches its third installment in the March num
ber, and the villain of lhe play is taken from the
quiet of tk-vciioaks lo the more turbid and con-
elti.tl at sphere ol the metropolis, where it
teems likely that he will run a course nut alto
gether unprecedented in the hU'.ory ol successful
