We had another addition Yesterday afternoon to our
already over-stocked supply Of snow. We have seen
good many snow storms in various places between
Ncw-Orleans aud Quebec, but have recollection
Of seeing better representation not even in a
thcater, where nature is often beaten, than saw
yesterday The reader will please to imagine dozen
men upon every house-top throwing white feathers
into the street and he will have pretty good idea of
the appearance of things in streets for short time
about O'Clock.
"Will there De a food when the snow goes off, is
an oft-asked question.
An old and very observing farmer assures US that he
has never known but food to from the melting
Of heavy snow. The great bulk acts like sponge
and holds the rain-water until it runs off gradually.
Floods occur oftener when rain falls upon frozen
ground or when it has only slight covering of snow
The result would be different in this city, in conse-
quence of the channels being closed by ce We shall
expect much trouble from overlooked cellars in spite
of all the efforts making to compel everybody to
cut out the CUTTERS because negligent or ugly fe
low upon block nulfes the united efforts of all the
Others. The promised thaw of yesterday nornng has
closed its term and with it, half of the CRITTERS that
were cut out the day before are filled up again.
For once New York has had enough Of snow.
