One of the most severe storms of the eason commenced in this vicinity on Saturday last, and has continued with­ out abatement until the present writ­ ing. Thursday noun. It commenced on Saturday with a violent rain, ac­ companied with thunder and light­ ning, flooding the roads, which together with the deep suow on the ground made travel by cars or team impossi­ ble. The railroad track was in many places from three inches to a foot un­ der water, which by Monday night was froze solid. The mail train which passed tli is Station ot* / Monday morn- ing going south, ran off the track just below Crystal Lake, where It remained until-late in the day Tuesday, ami several engines which were sent to their relief were ditched before they could re itch them. Wednesday night, about eight o'clock they succeeded in getting a constructiontraiu, with about forty shovelers, through to this place, which was immediately followed by a passenger train. The constriction train succeeded in getting through to Geneva Lake about two o'clock this Thursday morning, but the passenger train still remains here, with but little prospects of getting away for some time. A blinding snow storm is now raging, full two feet of snow having fallen since last night, and a heavy* northwest wind is piling it mountain high. We have had no mail from Chi­ cago since Saturday night, and when we will get one is now only a matter of conjecture. Business is all at a stand? still and we can only sit still and,; yvonder "Oh Lord, how long." j p. ACCIDKNTIL UKAfH. j It is our painful duty to annonn<*e| the death of J. S. Carter, of Ringwood, an old, well known, aud highly res-' pected citizen of that place. The pari ticulars of his deatii, as near as we ca n learn them, were as follows: Ho; started from his home about a mile? west, to go to Ringwood, with a horse| and cutter. About an hour afterwards he was found, by a passer-by, lyingj across the thills or cross-bar of his cut-1 ter, behind the horse, dead. His horse was down, and the supposition is that his hor«e getting down in the deep 6iiow, iu attempting to got him up lie was kicked in the head, as there was a large gash or bruise in his rorehead. We shall get more full particular') and give tliem to our readei s n«xt week. The accident happened ou Wednesday afternoon. A FlCW THINGS "H«ladf»ler" Would Like to EBOW.

DURING the thunder stona of Satur­ day last, the house of P. Murray, three miles south of this village, was struck by lightning, and Mrs. Murray narrow- j ly escaped death. The lightning struck the gable end, near the roof, and passed down die cornice, tearing out one wiudow. aud splintered tlie cor­ nice and window casing, to a consid­ erable extent. Mrs. Murray was in the pantry at tha* end of the house, at the time, aud was knocked down by the shock and remained insensible for over an hour. Fortunately the chil­ dren all happened to be in the other part of the house It was indeed a narrow escape for Mrs. Murray. C. W. Goui.u's large cheese factory at Algonquin, burned to the ground on Tuesday night February, 22d. The building was a large frame structure situated but a few feet from the rail­ road track, iu the center of the village. The fire is supposed to have started in the Doiler room, although nothing pos­ itive can be known about it. The fac­ tory. under the management, of Mr. Gould, had a very large patronage.; ancfthe homing of It will be a great loss to ttie farmers of that vicinity as well as to Mr. Gould. It wa!« valued at #10,000 and was insured for 94,000. Mr. Gould will of course rebuild soon. a& his patronage there is too exten­ sive to be long slighted. It is prob­ able that a more substantial building will be erected. t Norman Krame ami w to Wm.

The circumstances would go to show that the act was not premeditated. He was engaged in bauliug stone from the farm of Jaiues Wright* to Richmond, a distance of some five miles. On the nf'.cruooti of the occurrence the writer met George going out after his load, and accosting him was respouded to cheerfully and. with his usual good uatured smile. He went ent to Mr. Wright's farm and put on his load of stone and started to re­ turn to Richmond. Then the fatal Im­ pulse seized him. It liapi>eued that Mr. Wright's family were away from home that afternoon, and on their re­ turn toward evening they found young Goodhand lying on the snow with a bullet hole in his head, and a pistol ly­ ing near Iiiin. He was yet living and was removed to the house iu a:i un­ conscious condition, where he expired at about a quarter after 7 o'clock. The pistol was a small one. Tlie ball en­ tered the head at a point two inches anterior to the opening of the right car, and two inches above. It pene­ trated the skull aud the substance of the brain, takiug a direction downward and inwards in a Hue midway between the whig of the nose and tlio angle of the mouth. The course of the niiss.-i was traced easily the length of au or­ dinary pocket-case probe. A messen­ ger was tent to Wiliuot to summon tlie local magistrate who held au inquest that night. The verdict was. in sub­ stance that deceased came to death by his own hand while laboring under temporary abcralion of miud. The Heart broken father an I in<»tlier took the body home immediately after the inquest, when , It w«afo**«V>M its last rest resting ptace'in the Richmond Cemetery Young Goodhand was a sober hard working, honest buy, uni­ versally respected by his acquain­ tances. As near as we ran learn t lie cause or causes assigned for his rash act are based merely on cnujeciure or rumor. It is stated that some of his j acts obaerved during a year past have indicated that his mind was not just right. Another statement is. that lie had lately been disappointed Iu a love i affair. But the real canae will probab­ ly never be known* 8HKBP8HKAKINU rBSTIYAf^ PROGRAMME. FIRST OAT, APRIL 2IS1".

MADISON Feb. 11.--There Lave been no less than six bills introduced during this session to give the whole or a portion of the lauds granted in I85H to a certain railway company, which com­ pany never built any road. The land is in I he St. Croix grant, and has several times been resumed by the state and granted to new <-niup:iuin«.-- The last of these was the Chicago, Port­ age & Lake Super»or company. The time tixed in which it was to construct rlie road expired iu 1879; but Iu 1878 tlie (line was extended and the grant renewed.
