THE STORM.
OUR FISHERMEN
'S NET'S BADLY DAM-
AGED NO FISH CAlGIIT THE
" ..NORTHERN BLIZZARD, &C.
On Sunday last a storrn set in
from the North West ar.d lasted till
yesterday, which done much damage
to the Albemarle fishermen Their
nets were blown to pieces, stakes
b'own up and many will lo e lots of
time and money in repairing them.
The storrrf fs reported as one q the
severest for many years For over
four days none, of the fishermen
could go to their nets. Some of the
seine fishermen had to quit worW and
hang up, while some, who tried to
fish, had their seines blown away and
perhaps lost.. V-At this .writing things
here are in a terrible s ate' of affaire,
and the damage to nets and seines
cannot be estimated. V'The seas' ,n -s
reported as one of the wors- onrec
ord no fish has yet been caught and
our fishermen nre alHookrng blue.''
Some of them will not be ab e to
pay out of debt.
Reports of the storm from the
North are terrible. New iork,
Washington, Baltirhbre ahid Boston
all reporrthe wind and snow as doing
gre it damage. Wrecks after wrecks
have been report d along the coa t.
Trains and steam rs all stopped
running. The snow lay so heavy
upon the wires that hundreds of
telegraph and telephone "poh s strong
as they are, were snapped off.
New York advices say: The State
of New York is absolutely snowed
under. The oldest person never saw
its equal; not one train was. dispatched
by either the Erie or Centr d Mon
day, something unprecedented.
Telegrams from distances of two
huf dred miles have the same story to
tell, namely "It's the worst storm
ever known here." " "'
The police authorities say the storm
has not been equaled since 155
Owing to the tremendous gale and
terrible Fnow storm, there h ve been
no arrivals or. departures from this
port. Navigation has been almost
wholly abandoned in the rivers .and
harbor, and even the bo-its on the
different ferries made only infrequent
trips.
Frozen ears and feet were never so
numerous. The drug stores were
filled with patients all day and even
ing. A woman absolutely froze to
death at the corner of Fulton and
Broadway streets,popularly supposed
to be the busiest four corners on the
earth.
