The snow storm which set in about two o'clock on
Wednesday morning, was very severe one in this
vicinity, and ii probably extended to considerable
distance around 1t has undoubtedly visited Boston
and the other Eastern cities, and will probably
leave this continent at some point near Halifax or
st. John, N. B.
All severe Northeast storms extend to great
distance beginning at the South West and taking
NORTHEAST course. Their speed isirom two to five
hundred miles day. In this instance, it was at
Baltimore on Tuesday night, and was met at Provi

The particulars Of the progress Of the storm of

damage the coast, but its effect the mails and
the roads will be something; it will be an incon-
venience to merchants and editors in all parts of
the country.
The sleighing in this city is now excellent; and
Broadway, the Bowery, the Avenues, &c. &C.,

sleghs and sleds and all sorts of horses are pro-

as Broadway presented All business was welLngh
supended, with the exception of the business of the
livery stable keepers, which !fourished almost be-

dition for seighng particularly during the pro-
gress OF the storm those who were impatient to
JOY It, and fearing that some unlucky rain might
carry II of, had driven their sleighs through the
principal thoroughtares, and thus prepared the
ground for those who should wait till the mild sun
shine and clear sparkling air had taken the place of
the misty, blowing, snow-stormy weather, to enjoy
their sleighing. Such snow as this is an era in
the annals Of Manhattan. 1t only comes once in
year, and when 1t does come, no body better than
the New Workers, know how to enjoy it.
In the earlier part Of yesterday, the wind blew tho
