Snow.—We were visited with a slight fall of snow this Thursday morning, which continued to fall at intervals during the day, and, from all appearances, we are on the eve of having a regular old fashioned snow storm.
P. S.—2 o'clock, P. M.—Since penning the above, the snow flakes have come down at a rapid rate. The ground is covered to the depth of 2 inches or more, and still falling, and sleigh riding is the conversation amongst those who are fond of such amusement. Just think of sleigh riding in Wilmington, ye people away down in Maine!
