Twenty-four hours in a snow-drift. Last week a train on the Northern Railroad, due at Ogdensburg, New York, at one o'clock on Thursday, did not reach that place until four o'clock on Saturday. The train left Rouse's Point on Thursday morning with a baggage and passenger car, two locomotives, and about twenty-five passengers. The train got along very well, though behind time, till it reached about half the distance between Chateaugay and Burke, when it stuck. The men went to work shoveling out, and the train proceeded, but again stuck fast.--This operation was repeated several times, when it was found that both wood and water were getting short. At this juncture it was determined to unhitch from the train and proceed to Burke with the engines, replenish the stock of both, and return again for the passengers. The engines, however, proceeded but a short distance, when they again stuck, and soon froze up. The mercury had already sunken to twenty degrees below zero, and

On the afternoon of Friday the President of the road, with three engines, succeeded in reaching the delayed train and returned with it to Malone, where it arrived in the evening, and put up for the night. Next day; with a powerful driving force, the train reached Ogsdenburg, having been three days on the trip to Rouse's Point. This is the first time, since the opening of the road in 1849, that a day has passed without a train being able to make its way through.
