The cold weather of the past week continues, and last night was oue of the wildest ever experienced in this latitude. Yesterday afternoon the keen northwest wind lulled somewhat, and hopes were expressed that the backbone of the blizzard was broken, but between live and six o'clock a san" disappointment followed, and old Boreas let go for all he was worth. The heavy gusts picked up the snow and sentit in clouds through the streets, around corners and up iu the air in I Bpiral columns and down the necks of those whose collars were not turned up. A few people compelled to be out moved hastily and all who could wend cd their ways to their homes where they remained until tnorniog. The weather continued to grow colder aud the wind to roar more fiercely, and by dark the howling blizzard was being severely felt and heard. The wind blew great guns as if from a field of icebergs, and all who could hugged tiuir firesides and listened with no little apprehension to the roar of the elements, which seemed to have been given loose rein. The sky was cloudy and appeared to be snow-laden, and there would have been no disap? pointment had (ive or six more inches of snow been found this morning upon tbe two layers already on the ground. The Streets were deserted by man and beast, and house dogs crouched in door? ways and under steps, while cats clawed on doors for admission from the pitiless blasts, Auer midnight the wiud seem? ed to have gathered additional strength, and its roarings became terrific, causing many who could not sleep to keep un willing vigils. The long, dismal night finally ended aud the morning broke upou the same snow-covered earth, but frozen much harder and the old Poto? mac solid enough for an ox cart to cross upon its surface. About every other hydrant was frozen and windows looked as though they had been glazed with blocks of ice. The wiud was blowing almost as liercely as ever, and it was generally supposed the mercury was dowu to a lower stage than at any? time during the winter, but such was not the case, some indicating I0a above zero and others 8?. People forced to be out had experiences similar to those of yesterday, the mists of winds nearly taking them Jrom their feet, whiie bliuding snow flew thick and fast iu every direction. Many pavements which had been cleared yesterday were blocked again during the day by the wiud hurling snow from ore section to another. In the afternoon the wind moderated perceptibly aud milder weather will doubtless follow by to? morrow. At 3:30 o'clock this afternoon the mercury registered IS0. Tiik Trains.?Two trains on the Southern road which arrived here yes? terday and were held at this city on account of the snow block left for Washington at 5 and 5:10 yesterday evening. They succeeded in reaching thai city after much difficulty. The W. S. train from the south due yesterday morning at IO.l'S aud which did not reach here until after 3 o'clock in the evening, remained until 10 o'clock last night when it proceeded to Washington, which city it reached after several hours' delay. This morning a train on the W? S. road arrived- here from (Juantico at 8:30 aud proceeded to Washington. This was followed by several othir trains of the Southern and C. & O. roads, all of which, though having two or three euuines attached, were several hours in reaching Washington. A train was sent from Washington this way at 9:10 o'clock this morning and was" followed by another at 9:35. The latter was to do local busiuess be? tween this city and Washington and to take back to "Washington the through passengers who had been detained here since yesterday morning. These trains did not reach this city until after 12 o'clock to-day, having been detained by heavy suow drifts at the Long bridge causeway. These were the first trains to reach this city from Washing on siuce 2:30 o'clock on Friday morning. One of them went on to Quautico. The train from Florida on the South? ern road, due here at 7:?0 this morn? ing, arrived at 10:10 this morning aud ]oft for Washington at 10:45. No trains are running on the W. & O. road or on theManassas road. A W. S. train, which left here at 5:30 yesterday evening, became stalled in the snow ou Henry street near Col ross and was delayed there till 10 o'clock last night. It. took five engines to moye the train which, after being ieleased. wentou to Washington. All the overdue trains of the C. & O. road have arrived, some of them being only a few hours late. They report the most serious obstructions just this side of Manassas. They were all sent northward to t?ke their chances in getting through the blockade uear aud on the Long Bridge. All the trains to leave this city to? day were run from the Southern Kail way depot, as the W. S. tracks between this city and St. Asaph were coveted with snow, j No fre ght trains have been run on any of the roads, centering at this city, for the past two days and uli local pas? senger trains to and from the South have been virtually abandoned.* The railroad officials are experiencing much difficulty in keeping the tracks clear, even after they are opened, as the higli winds blow the snow in every di? rection and cause heavy drifts. Much difficulty is also found in getting men to work in the cold. Nearly all the men in the Southern Railway shops, in this city?about (55 in number?in charge of* Mr. C. F. Thomas, were yesterday evening sent to Bloomsgrove, between Manassas and Clifton, to clear the snow blockade there and to relieved the C. & 0. and other trains that had been snowbound there. They succeeded in doing so*nd return? ed to this city this morning at 0 o'clock. The train on which they left this city went on south. About 175 men from Wilmington, Del., were sent here last night to dear Henry street track, which they did from Duke street to Colross. The engine and train which was snowed up near St. Asaph on Thurs? day night, is still theie. The mails from the Manassas road due here yesterday arrived this morn? ing. The train that was blockaded be? tween Marshall and The Plains reached Manassas and the mails were sent here by a through southern train. The train on the W. & O. road, which was snowed up at Herndon yesterd ty, reached here at 1 o'clock to-day, assist? ance having been sent from this city. The passengers were taken from the W. ?fc O. depot to the Midland depot in carriages and sent to Washington. Four C. & O. trains were snow-bound at Manassas yesterday and the passen? gers had to be accommodated at that place. Farm bouses in the neighbor? hood had to be visited for the purpose of procuring provisions for the pas? sengers. One of the worst points the railroad men have to pass is withiu the city limits near Colross. As fast as the suow is cleared away the wind blows it back on the track and but few trains pass that point without trouble. The railroad men think the worst is over and hope by to-morrow to have the trains running with something like regularity. Trains from the south, on all the roads, somewhat delayed, have been arriving during tlio evening, and are sent on to Washington as last as cir? cumstances will allow. All come into the Southern depot and are sent north on the Henry street track. tip to 3 o'clock three local trains bail left here for Washington?one at S:30 a. in., one at 9:15 a. m and one at 1:20 i). m. The Florida special on the W. S road passed through this city at 4 o'clock this evening, south bound. Postmaster Carlin sent two wagon loads of mail oil'this morning on the north nound train. He was notified that the schedule on tli? railroad bi tween Washington aud New York bud been abandoned. At 1 o'clock to-day the first mail from the North to arrive here Juce Thurs? day evening at 4 o'clock reached tin postoflice. There wus a great mass ot mail matter and the clerks were kei t busy distributing it. Thb Minstrels.?The Hi Henry Minstrels arrived to-day and gave a parade about 12:30. People crowded to see them aud hear the mutic whiih was fine. They appear at the Opeia House to-night. The Danville Register says of the performance : "Many people in the large audience last night declai ed that Hi Henry's company is the best mioistrel aggregation on the road. This company came highly recommend? ed and the people expected a good per formaoce, but they were hardly look? ing for the almost faultless exhibition they were treated to. The band is probably tbe best that was ever seen in Danville. The singers were very good, and the many other features, most of them entirely new, go to make up one of the best and most refined minstrel performances this community has ever seen." The Staunton Post says: A better mio? istrel performance has never been seen here than that given at the Opera House this week by Hi Henry and his company. The audience testified its ap? preciation by frequent laughter and ap? plause, encoring nearly all the special? ties. Tbe stage mounting, costuming and accessories were rich and elegant and the programme throughout was smooth and uniformly rendered. The Biver.?For the first time in I two years and for the second time in many, navigation ou the river is com? pletely suspended and the Potomac to? day is covered with ice from shore to shore, varying in thickness from four to eight inches and extends far below Maryland Point. The Norfolk steamer which passed up the river about 12 o'clock yesterday did not start on her return trip as was intentled. The other Norfolk steamer which-left here Thursday night and which later anchored near Maryland Point, reached Norfolk yesteiday even? ing but did not leave that port last night on her return trip. One of the Norfolk steamers was to have come here to-day for the purpose of taking on freight and of atte'mpting t > make a pathway through the ice. It was found, however, that thesteamtr was aground and could not be golton out of her dock in Washington. The tug Brewerton has been making occasional trips between this city and Shepherd's to-day, trying to keep a track open so as to be able to run tbe railroad transfer barge when freight trains, which have been practically an? nulled in this section, commence Tun? ing again. The tides, owing to tbe northwest gales which have prevailed for the past few days are very low and most of the steamers and other vessels in the docks here are resting on tbe bottom. The Poor.?The numerous calls made by the poor of the city on the ladies of the relief committee have ex? hausted their means and they are now unable to relieve any more demands. Since last report they haye received $7 from Mr. Harry Burke and $5 from Mr. M. B. Harlow. The ladies made the money go as far as possible in re? lieving the destitute and now lind themselves without further means for that purpose. They have done a no? ble work. Mr. H. C. Price, "watchman at the Driving Park, had his ears' badly frozen 1 while walking home "yeste*rdiy. I A Distressing Accident.?About j nine o'clock ibis morniug a distressing accident occurred at George R. Hill & Co.'s bakery on north Lee street, Ber? nard Cline, the seventeen-year-old son of Mr. Bernard Cline, being the victim. The unfortunate youth was en? gaged in feeding dough in the rolling machine when his left hand was caught in the machinery. His arm was drawn in above the elbow and the flesh lacerated terribly. Officer James Grif? fin, formerly engineer at the bakery, happened to be present at the time and witnessed the accident. As quickly as he could he threw cli the belt and hi ought the macbiuery to a stop. Young Cline was taken to another room aud Dr. O'Brien .summoned, who upon Iiis arrival, found that the ilesh had been fearfully lacerated from the band to the muscle, and that part of tbe lat tei was much torn. The bone was not broken. The young man was subse? quently taken home where Drs. O'Brien, Jones and Ashby attended him. This afternoon it was deemed necessary to amputate the limb, which was done. Concert.?Mr. Wm. H. Melchic, chairman of the committee in charge i t the concert to be given for the benefit of the Relief Hook and Ladder Com pany Wednesday evening.

Mrs. Virginia Taylor, of Washington, has issued cards for the marriage of her (laughter, Alice Belle, to Mr. Lucius Duffey, of this city, the wedding to lake place on he 14th instant at Faith Chapel. Washington. Mr. and Mrs. J. Gilbert Cox are re? joicing to day at the birt h of a fin? boy. The Market this morning presenf ed a dismal picture, not a buyer or seller appearing in tho area set apart for country people and fish dealers. All the dealing was done inside with the butchers and hucksters, and the volume of transactions was very small, housekeepers in the majority of cases purchasing their supplies from neigh? boring stores. Putting the Plugs in Order.?The Fire Wardens have employed four membsrs of the department?two from tbe Hydraulion aud two from the Columbia?to remove tho snow from all the plugs in the city aud put them in order in case of lire. The work is be? ing done under tho supervision of Mr. William Bontz, engineer of the Hy? draulion. On account of the prevailing cold weather a great many patrons of D, Bendbeim & Sons could not attend their special sale. They will continue tbe sale next week with new addition? al bargains. Don't be diliatory in at? tending this sale, perhaps the chance to obtain such goods as will be sold may uot occur again for a long time. LOCAL BREVITIES. Neither the Corporation nor the County Courts held sessions to day. Ten itinerants sought shelter from the cold in the station bouse last night. Mr. Wilmer Kemp while playfully sparring with a friend last night broke his thumb. A carrier pigeon was picked up on tbe street this morning in an exhaust? ed condition. No attempt was made to run tbe electric cars to-day, as all the tracks are under snow. Mrs. Arringtoo, a well-known resi? dent of tbe northern part of the city, died to-day at her home near the canal basin. Bishop Potter, of New York, will lecture on the 5th of March to the Brotherhood of St. Andrew at Christ Church. Several teams succeeded to day in miking trips between this city and Washington, .but this was done with great difficulty. A warrant was issued at the station house this morning for the arrest of a boy charged with throwing a lump of ice into a Chinese laundry. Country people who came to this city torday report very heavy snow? drifts in various points on the different ro ids. Some drifts are 10 feet deep. Mr. Edward Embrey, a brakeman on the Southern railroad* fell on the side? walk near his home on Thursday and badly spiained his ankle. He is im? proving. # The horses belonging to the fire de? partment were doubled up yesterday to tbe Columbia engine and hose wagon .and given a trial which worked satis? factorily. The numerous reports in circulation to-day that railroad men had frozen to death last night and that one had been killed by an accident were without foundation. Special Officer Lee Genzberger found the front door of N. Lindsey & Co.'s warehouse open about four o'clock this morning. Nothing, however, had been stolen. David Hagerty, a well-known Wash, jngton liquor dealer, died suddenlv Thursday night of apoplexy in the Academy of Music, a few minutes be? fore the curtain rose. Georgiana Day, colored, janitress at the station nouse. was struck by a white man at the corner of Royal and Cameron streets yesterday;' The as? sailant was unknown to the woman and when the police reached the scene be had fled. . Rev. Clarence Ball, rector of Grace Church, is weather-bound in Washing? ton, and in consequence there will be! no services at 7 o'clock to-morrow morning in that church. He will, however, make an attempt to reach this city, and should he succeed tie other services will be held as usual. There was but'one case for trial in I the Police Court this morning?that of I John West vs. Lillie West, his wife, i Samuel Johnson, co-respondent, and Georgiaua Washington, charged with harboring the parties. The case was dismissed, there being no evidence to substantiate the charges. The parties are all of African descent. Yesterday pveuing when a Southern train was sent to St. Asaph to bring to this city the passengers on the snow bound W. S. train all came back but one lady. She positively refused to leave the train with the others, but last night a gentleman drove out for her in a cirriate ar.d she was brought to this city. This morning she left for Wash? ington. A jouc; wouisn < aus :d some excitoncnt near the intersection of Pitt and Cameron streets late yesterday aft- uoon by running from a house in the neighborhood and i ryir g "police;" Several perrons attempted to en t-r the house, but were refused admission, as there was and immediate attempt on the jart of the inmates to hush the matter up. l etter Carrier Padgett had a cold expsii ence while making his rounds yesterday. While in the noith western part of the city ho mis'ed tho sidewalk and stepped into a ditch o-er which a snow drift had formed. He dropped entirely from sight and it was some time before he could extricate himself from his perilous condition.

Several persons during the past few days have registered vows that they will never again complain of hot weather.

A TEA Is a pleasant thing ; there are high teas, pink teas, 5 o'clock teas, that celestial thinks he has a good tea and there is no reason why you should not have a good tea also. Good green teas are very hard to get this season. I mean really good teas. I have succeeded, after no little effort, in getting the large stock that is required to supply my tea trade for the crop year. You know that for 27 years I have sold the best teas, and though good teas cost more this year than for several years past, I have not lowered my standard. In fact, I think my 50c tea is better than ever. My best green tea is just what it purports to be, the very best. Then those nice black teas and that superb cevlon tea, that is getting to be the fash? ion. Recollect that I give better tea at less cost than any one else. GROCERIES. -rO: Standard Tomatoes 6c.
