God save the Queen. Sund. 6th,—The greatest Snow Storm of the Season; for the last eighteen years so great a snow storm has not been known. It commenced during the last night, and continued without intermission untill about 7 O'clock this evening, at which time the snow ceased, but it continued blow- ing furiously untill about 9 O'clock this evening, when it became moderate. During the storm persons could not venture out of their dwellings. The only place of worship that was open was the Lutheran; very few however were in attendance and those were persons living close by. Mond. 7th,—To day the banks of Snow are so great that people can scarcely get through. No persons in from the Country. The Mails due this evening did not arrive. Saturday, 12th,—"This was mild with every indication of an approach- ing Storm. In consequence of the roads having been so bad that no sleighs could approach the Town, and now that they have become something better, a large number of sleds made their appearance, laden with Wood, about 100 in number, but notwithstanding the quantity, prices still kept up, from 9/6 to 10/ a load. Sunday, 13th,—This morning the packet arrived from Halifax bringing 11 passengers, among whom was Alfred Rudolf, a native of this place, but now a resident of Quebec; he has been absent about eleven years. Tuesday, 15th,—Weather mild. The Roads are so blocked up snow, that travelling is almost impossible. The Mail from Halifax was two days on the way, having been enabled, on some parts of the Road, to travel only one mile an hour. Friday, 18th,—This evening the packet arrived from Halifax, bringing 5 passengers, among whom was Norman Rudolf who has been residing in Pictou the last three years. Monday, 21st,—Henry Nelson arrived to day from Halifax with a lot Jewellery, Musical Boxes, Accordions, and a variety of other Articles to be sold by me at my store. Tuesday, 29th,—The packet which arrived, on Sunday morning, dis- charged Cargo on the ice, not being able to get more than half way from Battery to the wharf.
