Mean temperature for March 54;
highest 78; lowest 38. Total rainfall
2.07. Frequent frost during the last
half of the month with a cold wave
on the 29tli, 30th, doing considerable
damage to ull tender vegetation like
potatoes, beaus and tomatoes but not
severe enough to damage Spring
grain. Steady westerly winds pre
vailed after the 10th which soon dis
pelled the moisture from the showers
of the enrly part of the month and
put a check on the growth of oats and
early vegetable plantings. The mean
temperature of March was 2 degrees
below that of February and the rain
fall was three inches less than nor
mal. Most of the peaches are proba
bly killed, especially those of the ear
ly varieties.

Telegraphic dispatches received yes
terday state that a heavy snow storm
commenced in New England on Fri
day night and increased in violence
till it was considered in some places
"the most severe for many years if
not unprecedented.” The wind blew
with a velocity of from 40 to 80 miles
an hour and the snow was from 8 to
24 inches deep, differing according to
localities; and besides much damage
done on laud, the wreckage of vessels
caused great loss of shipping and
doubtless a good deal also of human
life. The storm had not entirely abat
ed at last accounts.

vertisement of E. Crockett, of Ma

He will be found fully worthy of the
patronage of all who need supplies
such as his great establishment can
furnish.
Rev. Donald McQueen gave notice
from his pulpit on Sunday last that
he proposed in a short time to hold a
Heries of daily religious services in the
Presbyterian Church and he expected
to have help from some of his brother
clergymen. , . , .
We* learn that the session of that
church hope to obtain the services of
Rev. Dr. Girardeau of South Caroli
na to aid in the proposed protracted
services. He is without a superior
and possibly without an equal among
the Southern Presbyterian ministry
for eloquence and efficiency in the
pulpit. m
Rev. Lee Denham, of Mercer Uni

to the Baptist congregation at the
Court House last Sunday. Rev. Bar

day. ,
