Int HE feature Of this unexpected snow-slorm will
b. Of the gayertripe-the grand enjoyment Of sleigh
rdir, There viii be nothing in the form OF vehicle
on rrnncrs but win be in demand. In IN, country
seirh,de il a plain matter-oi-lac business, seldom
exciting any unusual emotion IN the city foot Of
snow turns the town into vast Iunatic asylum
EVERYBODY goes q sleighing in form or another,
from the INV bucks who can afford 10 spend twenty
five dollars an hour to the humble washcrwoman who
t;midIy ventures to waste a shilling for slide in
mammoth stsce sleigh There were dozens OF teams
out last night to-day there will be dozens OF hun
dreds. And tonight, and any number of nights to
come as long as the sloghmg lasts the carnival will
defy all power OF description. II one would see
Yornn America unclaimed let him enjoy for suffer a
dav and night on the avenues stopping here and there
nj the hotels on the road One such trip will satisfy
hin, where the money goes" tiptop turnout
for Eour-dinner wines and ct ceteras ncluded-will
cost about hundred dollars a day. OF course there
are many more moderate and some more extrava-
CANT but to all who DO the genteel' to their lady
friends the figures will be slightly alarming. Should
the sleighing remain good for week, the money that
will change hands in consequence will reach million
of dollars. Happy the man who has horses and
sleghs TO let" miserable the horses jolly the people.

in quite gradually il seems to have been anticipated by
tbo.e having property exposed and accordingly the
necessary precautions generally taken 10 with
stand lis influence We have only been able to learn
oftwo vessels that were affected b. IT, and these not
IN a serious extent These We're the clipper ship Fly

Hyperion at the. foot OF Delaney street, East River
The former at II p. M was knocked down nearly on
her beam ends, Ibut was soon aherward rghted, by
timber and other appliances She had no cargo nor
ballast on board The bark, which was made fast to
long bulkhead parted her bow hawsers, and drop
ming and swinging around, fell against the wrecking
schooner Splendid lying alongside the pier below Ia
droppirg to leeward her stern posts checked her so
that she only struck the s. she swung to- otherwise
She would probably have sunk the schooner beside
receiving great injury herself
