meDt. 10 the evening pretty stiff breeze from the
northwest set IN which continued TO increase ia fury

houses shook 10 their very found atoms; the window
sashes rated, the doors oreaked sndthe blinds were
opened and then shut with great violence. Tue

and south and piled up three four and even FIVE feet
high against the buildings on the opposite side SoOH

amount covered our streets. For the first storm
Of the season it has been pretty one, and
hope no index for the future.

on all the railroads running 10 and from this city. Up

city somewhat surprised TO find that old Winter
had actually set in, AID that the ground was all
/" white with snow" Down came the fakes in rapid
succession, with scarcely ihteTmssion until about
noon, when il cleared up little and people III
ciDed 10 think the worst was over; but before the
shades Of night came on the clouds gathered afresh
and Gown can the again with greater fury than
before. With the recommencement Of the storm also
came fresh wind, which sent ts keen, cutting blasts
to the very soul. The snow kept coming, the wnd
kept blowing and the cold kept increasing until this
morning, when quite body of the former was visible
on the ground, and sleighing WY iBaugurated

as the storm kept raging no one was inclined to treat
themselves 70 the luxury Of a ride At the present
time 10 o'clock 1t is sno wing still, and the indica.

The FIRST SSOw.-The good people Of this lsti-
tuoe have been visited by sever slight spts of snow
the present season, but the only storm in which suf-
6cent quantity Of the frigid material fell TO enable
the boys to have q shedding froc, commenced last
evening and continued during the night. The wealth
err during yesterday, was shocking; cold rain pre-
vailed throughout the day, rendering outdoor exer-
cses far from pleasant and csusing many citizens 10
forego their attendance at church. After dark the rain
turned to snow and cold nOrth.w wind accOmpa,
lied the storm. This morning the ground, roof and
trees were covered with very respectable coat of
the seasoDable article snd the juveniles enjoyed to
their heat content the luxury OF shedding sliding
upon the frozen sidewalks Phil Bulletin, Monday.
JERSEY CITY-That hoary headed old fellow, De-
cember, gave US a touch OF hls quality yesterday.
Fer some time he could not agree with the Storm
King whether he should treat TO rain hail, snow
blow, but, after considerable diplomacy on the part
OF the high contracting parties they determined
upon a sort of compromise, opened their batteries,
and furnished us with al sorts Of storm. The wind
blew perfect gale from the nOrthw ard aud eastward
the and rain alternately falling fast and furious
For a time, the whole atmosphere was filled with
cbimneys, sign boards, awnings smoke, jacks flakes
OF snow huge rain drops, window shutters, shingles
hats and caps, umbrellas, and fractured cOai-tas.
Eurus and BOreas ascertalhiDg that 1t was free
fight, had Themselves counted in aud such an ele-
mental row as the combined forces kicked up has sell
dom occurred No serious damage was DONE how
ever; and this morning, although the wind is still
high, there is prospect that the storm will abae be-
fore the winter is over There are several inches OF
upon the ground, and blue noses and cold toes
are plentiful. D. Clty Telegraph, Monday
CANAL AND RIVER NAvIGATIos The snow storm,
which has EXTENDED westward, has doubtless clogged
up the canal ana navigation mas Deen buspehcel LOT
the season-a day or two in advance OF time desig
mated by the Canal Commissioners. The river IS
covered with .uh and snow, but it is not OF sufficient
thickness 10 IetaId the running of boats. Sai-ves-
ses and barges arc taking in cargoes for the south
and eastern ports. The passenger steamboats, were
up at early hour this morniug, but, IL the storm
continues may be forced to leave at an earlier bour
than usual in order TO get over the bars and out OF
the shallow water before dark. The steam-tug New
York with several of the smaller steam craft, have
gone into winter quarters. The number OF canal
boats now laid up is not as large in previous sea
sons. This, may be accounted for by the fact that
large number are on the canal, bound eastward and
a large number were detained at Buffalo, awaiting
the arrival OF the sail and steam vessels the lake.
