STITCHING TINE IN New York The people
OF New York are availing themselves of the re-
cent snow storm, and fly over our streets and ave-
nues, wrapped up in bear skins, amid the jing-
ling OF bells, at a rate really terrific. The count
ing house--the workshop-the bench-the court
the saloon-the paror-the drawing rcom-are
all temporarily abandoned, and the mixed and
Heterogeneous population of Gotham, more
than half demented One thing is uppermost in
every ones mind, and that is a sleigh ride-one
thing only is spoken of, and that is sleigh ride.
Instead of the usual compliments that are per-
sonally passed between our citizens, show do
you dol" how are little ones? "&c., it is "have
you had sleigh ride yei?' In fact nothing but
seighs and sleigh riding occupy our people at pre-
sent; and it really appears as if their salvation
depended upon participating in the fun.
Be il So We are glad of it. We delight TO
see people enjoy themselves in an innocent way
like this. Therefore, we Gothamites, II" 20 ahead
while we shall chronicle your sport for the be-
nefit of distant readers, and, by dint of pen and
pencil, sketch for them some idea of what you are
about.
While livery stable keepers and hotel proprie-
tors are reaping a rich harvest, there are others,
however, who suffer much from the seighing
keepers, ut least the few who cannot afford to
spend their time in this amusement, complain
loudly of the stagnaton IN business. But we
question whether they suffer as much as others.
To our certain knowledge, the theatres suffer
more than do the shopkeepers, or any other peo-
pie Of business. Their expenses are very
heavy, and if they do not have remu-
nerating audiences, they incur a direct loss
every night. 1t has always been the case,
and it will always be the case. The fact is, that
the avenues offer more inducements than the
drama or any thing else. We have often seen
actors and actresses of acknowledged TALENT per-
forming to empty benches during the seighing
performers, who, at other times would
draw houses crowded to suffocation-and it is
great mistake for people to say that those perform
ers are not thought highly OF, because they do not
draw lsrge houses at such seasons. The thing is
impossible.
