t At III O'Clock last night the prospect
for more snow and nice bit of sleighing was very
good The temperature was Just the night kind, and
an abundance of snow seemed to be ready to de-
scend Probably about two inches fell yesterday
and slight as it was, il was put in immediate use
there being quite a number Of seighs In motion IN
the evening foot Of snow and fine seighing for
Christmas would be rare luKury-for all except the
poor, and to them a deeper depth Of wretchedness
Let them not be forgotten.
Russ PAVEMENT. The slight snow yes
tercay rendered the Russ pavement In Broadway
from Reade-st down, slippery that 1t was almost
impossible TO drive stage over 1t without throwing
the horses down. ixecIations Of the Russ were
loud and frequent, but entirely without reason,
since the cobblestone pavement was almost as bad
By far the best footing for horses in the great tho
roughfare was on the grooved Russ pavement above
Canal-st Here there was no difficulty in starting,
driving rapidly, and stopping promptly We notice
that a resolution 10 have all the Russ groved, was
introduced into the Board of Assistants last night
and referred 1t is the only thing lacking TO make
this pavement the most durable and safe, and conse
quently the cheapest, ever laid down IN the City
We hope there will be no delay in the matter, In
the extension of the pavement to Union Park.
