Snow Down EAST. The Bangor Democrat
of the 2Sth. says the snow in the woods is re-
ported to be at least five feet deep. Lumber
ing operations are hung up in certain quarters.
and teams are coming out of the woods. 1t
has nevertheless been a favorable winter for
this business and about the usual quantity Of
logs have been cut and hauled to the landings
ready to be driven TO the booms when the ice
breaks up in the streams and lakes.

The New YoRK LIQUOR BIZ .VeroED.-
Gov. Seymour has vetoed the Liquor Bill re-
Gently passed by the New York Legislature
He considers il unconstitutional on The follow-
ing grounds First, because ii authorizes m
reasonable searches; second, on account Of The
forfeiture and destruction Of property without
first going through due process Of law; and
finally on the ground Of its prohibition. On
the reception of the message announcing the
veto, the Senate debated at some length the
question: Shall the bill become law, not
withstanding the Governor has refused TO sign
tl'-but without taking any definite action the
Senate adjourned.
The New York Express says it is hardly
possible that the bill can command two-thirds
vote in the Senate, though il may possibly in
the House-and it is therefore regarded as ef-
fectually killed.
On Saturday. the Senate refused motion Ia
reconsider Is to 10, SO the bill is dead.
A SAD DIsAsTER-Three Children Burnt
By slip from the New Hampshire Tele-
graph, published at Nashua, we have the fol-
lowing particulars Of sad affair -
We learn that the dwelling-house occupied
by Mr.. William Flanders, in Londonderry
was entirely consumed by fire on Tuesday az
ternoon, with three children, comprising their
ALL Mrs Flanders called at a neighbours, on
the opposite side Of the road, leaving her
children at home alone, and was absent pei
haps half an hour, when attention was arrested
by noise, and looking out, the. flames were
bursting from the house, to an extent which
forbade all attempts to save the little victims,
and they all persisted. The children were
about two, four, and six years old. The two
older, judging from the position in which the
remains were found, probably ran under the
bed for safety, and the feather bed falling upor
them, saved them from being wholly consum
ed; of the other, only part Of the bones were
/ found. The house belonged to John Greeley
Jr., and was insured to the amount of $3.50.
This most terrible calamity should serve a.
caution against leaving children at home
alone.

Who CLEANS THE STR EETs while the com
mittee of the Common Council are celebrating
over Mr. Glasier's appointment by the Mayor
the streets Of this city are in state of filth
never witnessed before. 1t is by no means an
exaggeration to state that Broadway, for one
halt its length, Nassau street. Fulton street
and several other large thoroughfares, are lite
rally impossible for pedestrians. Ladies stand
for hours a$ the crossings, and finally resort to
the expedient OF taking a stage to cross the
street. Indeed an enterprising hackdriver who
should undertake to ferry people across Broad
way would realize small fortune. The middle
ofthe street is filled with liquid mud, three or
four inches deep, through which stages and
other vehicles roll heavily, splashing both side
walks. As the gutter is approached, the mud
is mixed with the remains of the snow, and
presents reacherousappearance Inconsistency.
Alas for the unwary passenger who puts his
foot in it In Nassau street, between Fulton
and Wall, the remains of the late storm have
been sadly cut up by the cart wheels, but do
not appear to have been perceptibly diminished
in quantity. Hundreds of carloads might be
carried away in few hours But our City
Council is thinking of nything but such mat
tiers. They are squabbling about speeches and
abstractions-ea eating dinners at the Metropo-
Titan, and presenting addresses to heroes-while
the people are left to wade through the mud as
they can. The snow which fell last week is
quietly left to melt, and the covering of mud
which now shrouds it protects it from the heat,
and protracts the process Of vaporization
Streams Of slime issue from underneath to feed
the puddles which block every crossing but
the top is apparently as solid as ever. A single
night would suffice, had we an energetic street
cleaner, to carry away all this filth and dirt ;
yet it has lain there for several days a.
ready, and will probably remain till hotter
weather shall have melted the whole. Such
are the first fruits of our reform Council. Such
is the net result Of all the outcry Of last year,
and all the triumphal rejoicings with which
the election of our present civic officers was
heralded

now Lower California and Sonora. His firm
ness Of character !" honesty Of intention" and
energy of will" along with his army Of $4,000
men are not sufficient to expei Col. Walker with
his three hundred 6libusters.
But under this treaty, "injuries are to be made
amends for" The only injuries for which da-
images are claimed are for depredations on Mex
leans by the Apaches This is only sham,
juggle, trick-for il the Mexican people are
to lie paid for these damages. why is not provi-
sion made in the treaty to pay them? II they
are honest claimants-and both governments
soy they are-why do both governments join to
swindle them by putting the money in the hands
of His Serene Highness, whose honesty Of in
tention" is well known?
The fact the government at Washington wish
to buy by treaty route for railroad to the
Pacific. but dare not confess the fact to the pub
lie. The dictator of Mexico wants to set up an
empire, with himself at the head as Emperor
Antonio primero. Young America, who is yet
being sucked with government pap, is willing
to sell out his interest in "the manifest destiny
of enlarging the area Of freedom" and to set
up an Emperor with subjects, for the sake Of the
corrupt spoils to be derived from the Pacific
railroad. What will the Senate do with the
treaty, and what will they do with Captain
Walker?

sists in the fact that Pesuela il cleverer
tactician than his predecessors, and that
while he is in reality carrying on the
same game, he efectually succeeds in
throwing dust into the eyes Of the British
agents. We hear, as usual, Of the land
ing of slave cargoes with the secret coznkvance
of the authorities, whilst the gassste teens
with ordinances for the protection Of the negroes,
and the utmost apparent difference Is shown to
British views and British interests. 1t is even
said that Pezuela, in order to parade more con-
spicuously his assumed Auglo-maniaA has
enrolled, or is about to enroll, regiment
of free blacks or emancipadoes, Of which,
to render the farce complete, he will prob
ably name himself Colonel. A capital
story is told of the ludicrous extremes to which
he carries this hypocrisy. An American gentle
man who bears a distinguished English name
to which title OF nobility is attached in the
old country, lately arrived on q visit to Havana.
Some wag who wished to turn to account Fe-
zuela's well known penchant. caused it to be
conveyed to his ears that Lord -, one of the
most illustrious members of the English peer
age was then honoring the Cuban capital with
his presence The Captain General fell into
the trap, and forthwith despatched one Of his
aides-de-camp to invite the pseudo nobleman to
the palace The envoy, instead Of an emascu-
lated lord, found only full blooded American
sovereign 1t is needless to say that he returned
down hearted and crest fallen from his mission.
The Yankee, however, was determined not to
be cheated in this way out of his accustomed
honors He accepted both the title and the in
vitation, and waited upon Pezuela in due form
at the Palace.
