New York City, Feb. 12.
New York and the New England States have just passed through cne of the worst blizzards ever experienced along the Atlantic coast.
The proverbial lion of February came in raging in its fierceness for three days, a driving gale swept the Atlantic seaboard and many signals of distress were sent out by steamers caught in the storm.
