K Stars in April. ' r ' Speakiug of the stars in April the Providence journal says: The interest of the month concentrates on the morning stars for, after the 7th, Venus, Jupiter, Mercury and Sa'urn are all numbered on this list. Venus especially will be the herald of the sun throughout the mouth for, though in her distant phase, she still reigns a the brightest star in tbw heavens. She will form a lovely picture as a companion for the slender waning moon on the morning of the7ta,will divide her queenly favor between Mercury and Jupiter on the 15th, and will appear above the horizm line nearly at the sane time with Saturn and Mercury on the 80 a. Jupiter and Saturn will become stndies of peculiar interest from . the present time till their opposition with the sun next October, when Jupiter, just after perihelion, will doa nis brightest colaW.'lind Saturn will shine clearer lustre than he has done for many years.'

' Plenty of Snow. v Reports from many points in the in trior tell of a heavy snow storm which prevailed yesterday. It seems to. have extended all along the line of tbe Caro lina Central Bail way, as far down as Lumberton, and must have been veiy general in this State, as" thereare reports of it from Pittsboro, in Chatham county. A gentleman who came down on tbe Charlotte train last night says that it via fniir nr fiv inrhflfl fti ' U.L R tf k. iagham. . Ice had formed on the bare branches ot the trees. A friend at Lilesville, in Anson coun ty, writing at a o'clock yesterday afternoon, tells us tbaA it. was snowing hard there at that time and bad been snowine for two hours. He says: 'It is at least two itches deep and is a mst beautiful tight, the trees and wheat ficlis beim a bright creen. ine weather is warm and perfectly stiil, and unites a freeze coMtes up touight no danger is apprehended to the wheat or fruit. Many old weather-cocks predicted it at about this time and say now that it will bt a repetition of the gth f April, 1848, when it snowed for twenty-four hours, but as the atmosphere was warm then, as uow, but little or no damage was sustained by thecrops.' We fear that those same old 'weather cocks' were wrong in one respect. In all likelihood fhek-e was a freezejlast night in which case we fear that tbe crops have suffered vert much.
