The first real snow storm that has reached the
City this winter. came yesterday. the snow fall
ing necessarily all day, producing about twelve
inches average depth. There was no wind, and
consequently no drifting. The storm extended
from the Delaware to Cape Cod with breadth
of hundred miles or so, its center passing over
this City. Fortunately it was not very cold last
night, or there would have been great suffering
among the poor. As it is, there should be prompt
relief afforded this morning; there must be many
cases demanding instant attention, and no man
having means and time should rest easy until he
has assured himself that there u.s. in his block or
immediate vicinity, no poor family without fire
or food. The storm has Furnished tolerably
good sleighiDg, though not enough to stop wheels
altogether. The steamships and Sound steam
ers were kept back; but railroad trains were
not msterislly delayed.

Through the recreancy Of three Aldermen, the
Mayor il in a measure thwsrted in his efforts TO
suppress the Sunday Rum traffic. These WORTHLESS
are Mr. Baird, of the Fourth, Mr.. Howard, Of the
Sixth, and Mr.. Herrick, ofthe Nineteenth-aI from
Wards which h,ve been for years especial suf-
ferers from the curse Of rum, and which at the
last election gave tremendous mJorities for
Mayor Wood on the suppodtion that he would
wink at their iniquity. The unexpected course
of the Mayor, the une1ampled fact Of any
Mayor attempting to compel submission to the
laws, was not the entertainment to which they
were invited; hence their representatives. in the
Board ofAldermen refuse to dance to Mr.. Woods
music. OF course, unless at least enc of the tx
ci,e Board agrees with the Mayor, the offending
Sunday rumseller's license cannot be taken away
By the power that gave it. Bat there il another
way to reach them, which should be Of oaee Pur'

ABOUT LABOR IN THE COUNTRY.

We have never been more deeply impressed
with the tenacity Of our own patience than in
reading the heaps of letters continually reaching
N from almost every section Of the interior, set
ting forth the abundance of Labor in that partcu.
lar locality, and marveling that the Unemployed
Of our City do not instantly HE thither. There
"re work enough and good wages" is the bur-
den Of these representations; "good faithful
"workers male or female may here find employ
"ment at all times; why don't you send them
"along, and not keep up this din about idleness
"and starvation in the City"
Now let US suppose poor girl out of work to
be dispatched BY US, in compliance with these
acquisitions, to any town you please in the coun-
try. At the Close of that day or the day after,
she steps off the cars at the station to which We
have directed her in quest of work and q home.
But whittier shall she go' To whom apply
Perhaps che can speak English, and perhaps not;
but at all events, che knows nobody, is shsbbily
dressed, and has no reliable certificate Of good
character; for those by whom she was sent hence
know only that she is destitute and wants work.
What Is the chance that she will be taken at
once into a good family, treated with patient
kindness, and taught the duties which she will
DO expected to perform Nay, how can she be
expected, with her broken English or no English,
her poverty, her squalid appearance, and her
timidity, even to apply at the doors of the best
families IL she not quite as likely, even in the
moral country, to fall into bad hands as into good
ones Remember that che is not skillfal, handy

In this borough, on the 30th ultimO, of Dropsy. Mrs. ELI
ZABETH BURTON, aged - years, 2 months and 80
days.
Who that is familiar with the names of persons long re-.
sident in this place, wi! not turn for a moment from the
record of passing events and of daily business, to bestow
the tribute of a passing sigh to the memory of her who
was Familiarity, and yet kindly known by the name Of
" Mother BURTON" She who never knew what it was to
refuse a call of sickness or of suffering, has herself paid
that debt from which there is no discharge. A sufferer
herself, she gave abundant evidence during her protracted
illness of the power of that faith which overcometh the
world and as earthly comforts were failing, she expe-
rienced in her hour of deepest need the Eithfulness of that
Savior whom she had long ago confessed. Her hours of
pain were alleviated by the sweetness of those promises
which are yea and amen in Christ Jesus - and she look.
ed forward with composure to her departure from the
world, as the time when her soul would lie made mspeaka-
bly, happy.
Firmly attached to the Protestant Episcopal Church, of
which she was for many years a member, she found in
its services a help to her sincere and consistent piety,-
and rather than miss an opportunity OF engaging in that
which was to her the dearest privilege on earth, she has
walked for miles through summers heat and winters
cold.

better, his heart is right for Douglass and

people with bondage. 1t remains to be seen

The Best QUALIFICATIONS. -The following
conversation is given by good authority, literally
as it occurred, emitting the oaihs and excepting
the names. The parties were the principal in
an important government office, and one of his
sureties, who had become somewhat alarmed at
the Developments of the week, and who thus
addressed the incumbent
'See here, Cucumber, this will never do :
by --y you must either atterd 10 that office
yourself, or else put some one there that will ;
we can't have such things as this going on
we'll all be drawn under"
my -! Colonel, have got one OF
the best men in the city at tho head of that of
fee !"
'Have you who is il :"
"Why, Wintergreen, Mr. Wintergreen don't
you know him :"
"No, | don't who is hel''
'Wintergreen You don't know Winter
green He is relative of mine, and has lived
here long time he's an old citizen"
"Well but is he well qualified for the
placor"
"Quali6ed He is the best man for the place
in the whole city. doa't know of any one |
would put in his place. Qualified Why bless
your soul, Colonel, he used 10 be barkeeper on the
old steamer MinOisr'
The Colonel asked no more questions after
this clincher, and turned away satisfied as 10
what is regarded the ''best qualification for
our officers by Douglas and the present admin
istration.
