On Wednesday of last week i t snowed al l day, and turning cold on Thursday we then had three as tedious days as we have experienced this winter . On Saturday morning the thermometer ranged from live to four­ teen degrees bejow zero, iu different lo­ cali t ies. On Sunday i t was mild and warm, but in the evening i t again com­ menced snowing and continued through the night-and nearly al l day Monday, full two foot of snow fal l ing, I t is now a l i t t le colder and we are wait ing for the ne^t change. ACCIIMVT ON THE RAILROAD. The morning train on the Fox River Railroad encountered a broken rai l on Saturday morning one pule North of Genoa Junction, Wis. , and were thrown into t ' l ie di tch with great force." The Muff ( ' i ty says: The passengers, one lady and child, and several gentleman were somewhat bruised but not badly hurt . Conductor Newcomb was thrown across the baggage car, considerably bruised and wil l no doubt be disablod for several days. Baggageman Roberts received a severe cut ou the head, and Mail Agent Allen and Ex­ press Messenger Seymour were more or less cut . but not seriously injured." A wrecking train was dispatched to the scene within an hour after the acci­ dent , and the wrecked e!eaii"d away without delay; In eoiisequnnoe of this accident no mail going South left this piac^ on Saturday, while quite a num­ ber of passengers were obliged to lay over unti l af ternoon. •neon we find the pay WE have received from James J . H. Gregory, of Marhlehead. Mass. , Ids an- luiaj Circular and Retai l Catalogue of warranted Vegetable. aad Garden Seeds grown by himself .

APpleasant and inter­ est ing t ime may be expected. Now that the storm is over i t would be well for our ci t izens to remember that there is an ordinance now in force requiring them te clean the snow from the walks in front of . their premises within twelve hours, under a penalty of not less than three nor more than ten dollars . The Ordinance is a good one, and every ci t izen should see that his part of the duty is performed without delay. WE are informed that a new family arrived in town during the storm on Monday night, and our friend, F. A. Hebard, with his usual kindness of heart gave them a warm corner in his cel lar . The old hen with" i ter young brood of chickens, clucked her sat isfaction at this t reatnieut , and should they survive this cojd sntip wil l undoubtedly repay him in the future wi l l f resh eggs and broil chicken*.
