The storm last week was one of the most severe ever experienced in this section j and coming as it did so oarly in the winter, it took ey everybody by surprise and found them un prepared for its rigors. Commencing on Monday, it continued without intermission till Wednesday snowing, blowing, and freezing. Over one foot of snow fell du ring that period, which, with what was on the ground before, made a depth of over two feet. The Branch Railroad was block ed up by drifts Monday night, since which tiino no trains have run on it. A gang of laborers have gone to work to shovel - it clear, and expect to have it in running or der some day this week. The various township " roads leading hence were all more or less snow-bound, and for a time we were comparatively isolated from the rest of the world, but communication has again been opened up in every direction, and trade is free to pursue its accustomed channels.

"We understand the publisher of the Church Union promises to print Mr. Beecher's sermons so long as they are acceptable to the Church, and requests all other papers to publish them from his own pages freely. If our friends want a wide-awake relig ious paper, unsectarian, and full of inter esting matter, the largest and most catholic paper in the world, let them send to Hen ry E.

The concert will most likely come off Tuesday evening, 29th in stant. Good Cigars. Mr. Martin L. Oat man insists that he has the very Lest ci gars kept for sale in town.

An unusually early winter blockade of our roads has taken place in this section since my last letter. For a couple of years past, we have been accustomed to making roads through fields, tearing down fences, &c, but never within the recollection of our oldest inhabitant have we had so se vere a storm before Christmas. For two or three days, we were completely isolated from all intercourse with the balance of mankind, and only on Thursday did we first find means of communication with your town. As a consequence, but .little local information has come to the knowl edge of your correspondent, andyou will probably agree that under the circumstan ces his "best hold" is to adhere to the practical philosophy of the poet where he says that "brevity is the soul of wit," ho ping for more entertaining matter again.
