The railways are blockaded ; up to noon to day not n wheel hail moved from Lincoln since Suiulaj moiiilng. West of Lincoln and on all branch loads oolh passenger ami freight trains have been abandoned until the wind subsides so the hacks can be cleaied. A train from the east managed lo reach heie to-day aftei a hard light , but could not get any fattbei west. In town business Is at a standstill. The Miccts aie blockaded with drifts , and theie are but few people abioad. With the exception of one tialn from Omaha over the Iturllngton Sunday night , Lincoln's railway connection with the out side world has been entliely suspended for ncaily thlityslhours. .
