A special from Boston, ria London, sajs : A storm has now: raged incessantly for two days all Over New England as far as the, scanty communications reach. Every railroad out of the city is block aded completely and telegraph com munication is by the Commercial Ga ble Company's cable to Lockport, Me., and thence by cable to London. Never before was there such complete pros tration of business, and the damage to property must amount to an enor- j mous sum. it is nfty years since .Boston has been so affected by a storm. The morning anc afternoon papers of Tuesday were devoid of all telegraphic information. No trains arrived in the city and those which were sent out were practically lost. Along the coast terrific wiuds are re ported, particularly on the north shore where every telegraphic wire is down with the exception of one be tween Worcester and South Fra mingham There sre no telegraphic connections west of AVes"; Millville, thirty five miles from Boston, and,but for tho recently constructed long dis tance telephone Boston would be as far , removed from tho rest of the world, bo far as telegraphio commu nication goes, as if it were situated in the DeBert of Sahara. ; THK.WOK8T OF "THE CENTCRT. 1'iTTSFiKLC Mass., March 15. The snow storm now prevailing here is the worst of i he century. Not even sleighs can pass on any road in this county. iNot a train has moved on the Boston and Albany road between Springfield and Albany during the past twenty hours. One passenger train is stalled twelve miles east of here with; seventy-two passengers on board, who are suffering extremely for want 6f food and fuel. The Fitch burg road at both ends of the Hoosao tunnel is blocked. A truckman named Johti O'Brien, of Pttsfield, cannot be found and it is supposed has been frozen to death. A PEQ8PECT OF KUCH THAWINQ. New Yobs, March 15. The weath er this morning is again warm and bright. The prospect is that there will be much thawing. Great banks of dirty show are still piled on either Bide of Broadway, and on all the oth er avenues and streets gangs of men are (till hard at work shoveling and carting, but their task is a stupen dous one.. The railroads leading into the city are all moving and business men in New Jersey, on Loner Island and jn the upper part of the State, reached New York this morning for the first time since Saturday. Soma of the cars are running. tjcUHIBLB BVmxaxa AND lAjaa yjr LIT- Chicago, March 15. A dispatch rom New xlaven, conn., says tne steamer Elm City brings word of ter rible suffering and loss of life on the sound. The great snow storm nu severed all connections between Con necticut and the metropolis for the past 48 hours. Not a train is moving on any railroad throughout the State and' telegraph connection between this city and the outside world was entirely cut off at an early stage of the stonn. Trains are snowed-up all along the line. In many cases they became stalled far from stations or at places where supplies could not be obtained- Reports Lave been coming of terrible suffering throughout the State, aid especially on the coast Many lives have been lost by acci dents and exposure to the storm. Snow has been falling almost con stantlv since Sunday morning. The steamer New Haven, of the Old Col onr line,- left her dock in this city at 3 o'clock a. m. on Monday bound for New York. There were 20 passengers on board, two of whom were women. Capt. Post was in command. The storm grew more furious as the steamer proceeded down the harbor nd 'the passengers became terribly frightened. Captain Post let go his anchors ten miles out in the sound. Huge waves swept over the steamer, washing everything movable above deck. The furniture of the cabin was utterly demolished. The anchors were kept out until 4 o'clock Monday afternoon, when the strain of the steamer became so great that the cables were shipped, the captain deciding to beach the steamer, it be- in? the only hope for the safety of those onboard. THtIK FISST APPZABASCK SINCE SATURDAY New York, March 15- Nearly all the New Jersey towns within fifteen miles of New York now have some sort of railroad communication with this city This mdrning thousands of business men made their first appearance since Saturday. Over 1,100 were snowed in at Roseville, on the Delaware & Lackawanna railroad, and hundreds were compelled to stay in cars over twenty-four hours, although their homes were within four miles. The cold was intenoe and food scanty, but no lives were lost at that point. The od supply is running very short in these New Jersey towns and but little fresh meat and no milk, eggs or veg etables can be obtained at any price. The chances of getting relief from New York are small, as the supplies here are decidedly short. The first mail from Philadelphia and Baltimore since Monday morning came in this forenoon. THE EFFECT OF THE STORM D1SAPPEAB- fr iso. Washington, D. C-, March 15. The weat'uer is mild and spring-like, and the effect of the storm is rapidly dis appearing and will soon probably be entirely overcome. Good progress has been made in repairing the tele phone and nre alarm wires, and both systems are now in good working o(der. The experience of the last few days has never before been witnessed. All efforts to reach New York either bv mail or wire have thus far proved futile. The Western Union has quite a number of wires to Baltimore and Havre de Grace, and seven between Philadelphia and Wilmington. Sev eral construction trains are moving between Havre de Grace and Wil mington, and the linemen are steadily pushing their work with the prospect of reopening wire comr-unicaiion with Philadelphia today. Telegraphic ser vice with the South and West has been restored and all business is be ing adjusted with dispatch. No mails from New Yprk have arrived as yet, but the Pennsylvania Railroad officials believe that their road will be cleared to New York some time today. Mails South and West are running with i heir usual regularity. FIRST TOjGET A TRAIN THROUGH. New Yor4, March 15. Tho Erie road was the first to get a train in. At six o'clock this morning the Chi cago express which has been snowed in since Monday at Monroe came in. Passengers all well. The Pennsyl vania hopes to get its trains through to Philadelphia today. Business has once more been seriously attempted, but the difficulties are still great. The cross streets are still blocked with huge drifts of snow and the street cleaning department has not yet turned its attention to them. An at tempt is being made to melt the snow by lighting j great bonfires, but the effect is not perceptible. The sun is shining brightly and the slush is deep in many places. THE FIBST TRAIN THROUGH. CONGRESS. PROCEEDINGS YESTERDAY SENATE AND HOUSE- IN THE MATTER OF BRIDGES OVER CERTAIN NORTH CAROLINA BTRIAMS - OTHEB NEWS. PiTiSBuaojj March 15. The first through train from Philadelphia over the Peosylvania reached here this morning. It carried only thirty pounds of mail matter from Philadel phia and not!a pound from New York. Another; train is expected this even ing from New York but the railroad officials can give no definite informa tion. Passengers who have been on the delaved trains tell of sufferinsr of passengers at points between Harris- buig and Philadelphia. The snow had drifted to the depth of fifty feet. Many houses were completely cov ered and the only sign of habitation was smoke curling from the chim neys, in many places the occupants of houses had not even attempted to dig their way out. There are about 125 ions of mail matter due in this city from the; east. The postmaster is taking all possible measures with the limited capacity at his command to handle it promptly when it arrives. The weather lis bright and moderat ing, j TBi BLOCK OPENED. PHii.tPKT.pgiA, March 15. The block between this city and New York, on tb New York division of the Pennsylvania R. R.. was opened this Jaornirjgi A train, consisting of an engine and six mail cars, which left here yesterday, arrived at Jersey' City at 7 this morning and the mail -Li. . . iiiaLLor was immediately Bent across the ferry to the metropolis. This is the first train which has reached New York from here since Monday morn ing and the Pennsylvania officials claim the credit of taking into the metropolis the first mail matter from block. Three train-loads of belated passengers, which have arrived here from the South and West daring the past few days, were sent to. New York this morning. Up to noon, however, no trains for local travelers had been sent out on the New York division, though the officials expect to be able to start sev eral during the afternoon and believe that by evening there will be a very general resumption of traffio between the two cities. From Jersey City three through trains were started West this morning, the Chicago lim ited, Boston; connection and Florida special. The road is well opened and these trains will no doubt make rapid progress toward their respective des tinations. The tracks of the company on the main lines West and South ward and on the suburban branches are in good condition and trains are being moved with something like reg ularity. The telegraph situation does not seem ! to have improved very greatly since last evening. The extreme eastern portion of the State is still shut off from Philadel phia, but the territory in the neigh borhood of liamsburg is being rap idly opened. The facilities to Pitts bur? are meagre and thd wires are heavily crowded, though busi ness is being transmitted with reasonable I promptitude. In the direction Of New York every thing is dpwn and telegraph com munication With that city is not ex pected till tomorrow morning. The prostrated poles ae scattered along the various routes and Targe gaps in the wires are found everywhere. The Western Union Company has a heavy force of linemen working towards New Brunswick, N. J-, where they expect to meet a like party who aie working from Jersey City. The only telegraphic: communication this city has with the West and South through Pittsburg. T he wires to Lewes, Del, are still down and no further particulars of the reported dis asters at the Delaware breakwater have been received. The ioe and snow on the streets and sidewalks here are rapidly disappeating today under the effects of a warm sun and business is once more moving and assuming its normal condition. STOPPED BY THE STORM. Washington, D. C, March 15. The Navy dep t is informed that the re cent storm, has caused a complete stoppage of work on the new naval vessels at Philadelphia. THE LATE NOT LAMENTED. i New York, March 15. Reports at the main office of the Western Union Telegraph Co. this afternoon, state that the late blizzard was of a compara tively local character. It did not ex tend farther south than Alexandria, Va., west farther than Pittsburg and Buffalo, north farther than' Saratoga and east farther than Boston. Bos ton can only be reached by one wire by way of Albany and points in the west by way of Chicago, Pittsburg, Cincinnati; and Buffalo. It is expect ed that everything will be in good shape by tomorrow. Great difhcul ties are met with in transporting line men by rail to points where the lines are to be! repaired. This difficulty will, it is expected, end tomorrow. By Telegraph to Uie'News and Observer. Washington, March 15. Senate. A number of bills were reported from committees. Among them were the following : House bill for the con struction of a revenue cutter in Charleston, South Carolina, in place of the cutter McCulloch; to author ize the construction of bridges across the Cape: Fear and other rivers in North Carolina; for the formation and admission into the United States of the States of Washington and North Dakota (with minority reports.) Mr. Plumb sent to the Clerk's desk and had read a letter from a Wash ington firm of claim agents to a Kan sas ex-soldier, saying that some time ago they had written to him; asking to be allowed to take his pension claim to Congress, and had not heard from him j in reply;, that they were conversant with his claim and believed that, if properly presented, Congress would not! refuse a special pension; that their fee was $25, of which $10 was payablo in advance; that 863 special pension bills were passed by the last Congress, and a still larger number wuld probably be parsed by tne present Uongress; tnat tbis was tho best time for the presentation of cases to Congress, as the country was on tne eve of a Congressional and Presidential election aud parties and individuals were on their mettle to make a record. Mr. Plumb expressed the belief that arge amounts were being obtained through such representations, si gn the writers could render no service wna ever. Not only would an attorney not be. permitted to ap pear before the pension committee, but he could perform no useful ser vice whatever in connection with special pension cases It was an out rage (puttbg it mildly) for men to be imposed upon in that way. He asked that the pension committee take the etter and consider it, and make a re port to the Senate so that such swindling of ex-soldiers should not be continued. Mr. Hall asked Mr. Plumb whether he would hot allow the name of that pension claim firm to be stated so that it would be made known to the country through the press. Mr. Plumb preferred to wait for the report of the pension committee. After further discussion, in which Mr. Dolph referred to a claim agent's agreement, which he had seen, to re ceive 35 per cent of the amount of the direct tax to be refunded to a cer tain State, the letter was referred to the committee on pensions. Mr. Butter, referring to Lhfi. state- documents - franked by him, said he had a letter from the Postmaster Gen eral stating that the documents had not been detained at the Washington City postoffice. He had made further inquiry and found that the detention had taken place in the Senate post office. He did not know whether he was under: a ban of suspicion1 by the Senate postmaster, but he wished the matter inquired into, and he asked that it be referred to the postoffice committee. So ordered. Mr. Teller proceeded to address the Senate on the subject of the Presi dent's message. He said he had no ticed that the benators Who had spoken on the President's Bide of the subject had Bhown a disposition to avoid the real issue presented by the President: and had attempted to make it appear that the message was not of the character which everybody (out side of official circles), at home and abroad, had declared it to be. It would not do for the friends of the administration to assert that this was an attempt o the part of the Presi dent and bis friends to modify,revise or correct the tariff. No such intent on the part of the President could be gathered from his massage. It had been received everywhere, at home and abroad, as an attack, not on a defective tariff, ; not to remedy inconsistencies, but to destroy j the protective system. The President himself had spoken of that system as vicious and inequita ble; his former Secretary of the Treasury bad spoken of it as a brutal method, i Defenders of the message in the Senate and elsewhere had spoken in terms of approbrium, con tempt, detestation, not of the tariff, or of its inconsistencies or incongrui ties, -but of the protective system. It was therefore understood (outside of the Senate chamher) to be an at tack upon the system which protected American labor and American manu factures against competition, with foreign labor and foreign capital. The motion to refer the message went Over without action. Further bills were reported from commit tees and placed on the calendar, in eluding the House bill for the pur chase of the Bwords of Gen. James Shields. The Senate, after a brief considers tion of the under-valuation bill, heard brief euloeries on Representative Moffatt, of Michigan, and adjourned till tomorrow. citizens in an attempt to compete with Canadian seedsmen to whom the United States by recent postal treaty has given ad van 'age over American seedsmen in the way of postage at the rate of ( $240 a ton. In case ; the Postmaster General shall show that orders have been given directing the examination of incoming mails for evidence of their use by American oit Uens, he is requested to inform the House by what provision of recent postal treaty or provision of law officers of the postal service of the United States are authorized to place an espi onage on laid Canadian mail for the purpose of determining whether Ameri can citizens are availing themselves of the beneficent provisions accorded to Canada by the postal treaty. Re ferred. The House then went into commit tee of the whole for consideration of the Senate amendments to the argent deficiency bill. After several amend ments had been disposed of, some concurred in and others rejected, dis cussion rose upon that striking out the clause (inserted in the House on mo tion of Mr. O'Neill, of Missouri,) di recting the Public Printer to rigidly enforce the eight-hour law. The eom mittee on appropriations recoommend non-concurrence. -. Mr. McComas said that, while, as a general thing, he was opposed to the existing law, he was in favor of the clause, because the Public Printer deserved the censure which was con tained in it. Of 2,062 employees of his office 564 were required in open denanceof the express terms of the law to work I0j 11 and 12 hours. Con gress should take hold of the abuse and insist on the law being enforced. Mr. Burnes said he had never be fore heard it intimated that the Pub lic Printer had violated the eight-hour law. There was no violation of that law in permitting a man to work as many hours as he might desire and the speech of the gentleman was a gratuitous attack upon the Public Printer. Mr. O'Neill suggested that his cel league did not know what the eight hour law was intended for. Mr. Batnes replied that his idea of the law was,thatwhen a man was to be paid for a day's work he was to be paid for eight hours work. The law was not to be construed as stopping poor devil from : working when it was necessary for him to work to sup port his wife and children. M". O'Neill declared that if the eight-hour law was not passed to set a good example that would be follow ed in private business, its passage was a piece of: hypoerisv to play upon the working classes. It was passed in the hope that thousands and thou sands of idle men wouli be absorbed in the ranks of industry. That was the spirit of the law. The Public Printer had violated that law and it was also violated in the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. The Senate amendment was non-concurred in. Pending farther consideration, the 9ffiffiferre aro anil the TTrtnaA aid. TUB OTSTPCR. FISH, AND QUE PAIR. THE FIFFERKKT DEPARTMENTS LARGS ( HOUSE.

Council Bluffs, Iowa, March 15. All the; Union Pacific engineers who abandoned their engines yester day are on duty again this morning and the freight traffic of the road is going on as usual. . It is slated that the engineers were given to under stand that they were not compelled to handle "Q" freight if they did not deBire to. and as a consequence all cars of that line are apparently be iner side-tracked in the U. P. yards at the transfer in this city and the regular freisbt and yard crews are going ahead as usual. Their yards are crowded with Q cars and if the U. P. continue to receive .them their tracks will soon be filled to such an extent as to cause them considerable difficulty in making up their own trains. The difficulty seems entirely settled so far as the U. P. engineers are concerned, and the company has evidently determined to settle the matter with the "Q" author ities in the courts rather than suffer their freight business to come to stand-still. ' A Terrific Gale. Bv Teleeranh to the Mews and Observer. Lewes, Del., March 15. A terrific gale from north northwest, with snow, raged here Monday and lues day. Two schooners are Bunk and twenty-one vessels are ashore. Ihe steamboat pier is cut in three pieces. Many people are frost bitten or dis abled by exposure.

By Telegraph to the News and Observer. Chicago, March 15, mere were indications of trouble with the en gineers and firemen at the stock-yards for a time yesterday. The 0., B. & Q. brought in fifty-seven cars of live stock. An engineer refused to pull them and left his engine; The of ficials thought there would be trouble. Later the men met and talked the matter over and finally work as usual was resumed pulling the Burlington cars. There are from twenty-five to thirty encrines at the stock-yards which were furnished by different roads to the stock-yards company. In Montgomery county, Va., few days ago, a young man went into the house of a Mrs. Kudder, and hap pened to have a self-cocking pistol in his hip pocket. A little seven-year old son of Mrs. Rudder got hold of the pistol and was playing with it. In a few minutes there was a report and Mrd.

There is a long centre-table in the room, which con tains a collection of 150 varieties of marl gathered from Craven, Jones Onslow, Pamlico, Lenoir and other counties. This is without doubt the largest collection of marl ever ex hibited.

A beau 'if ul specimen of nearly every inhabitant of North Carolina waters is on exhi bition. A large live porpoise, 9 feet 2 inches long, tied down on a large table, caught at Chad wick & Royall's porpoise fishery, opposite Morehead City, is the cynosure of all eyes. (He died today). C. T. Watson, Esq., of New Berne, exhibited some fine planted oysters from Nelson Bay, shad, rock, scallops, (the largest we ever saw), both in the shell and open, clams large and neck clams.

His display is in the shape of a beau tiful pyramid, 15 feet high, with a 10 toot base composed of beer crates. The pyramid is a series of shelves or steps containing bottles of rose water, lemon soda, ginger ale. crab apple cider, pear cider, Buf falo mead, sarsaparilla, orange-wine, beer, stout and porter. Every bottle is a beauty in itself. John Dnon, Esq , of New Berne, has a fine and elaborate exhibit of fancy groceries. The display con sists of everything found in a first class fancy grocery, most beautifully arranged. Messrs.. W. T. Hill &Co., manufac turers of all kin ds of Belf-inking, dating pocket and pencil rubber-stamps, self inking pads, inks, &c, seals, seal presses and badges, occupy a stand in this department which attracts much attention.
