THE GREAT STORM CONTINUED.
FINE SLEIGHING IN THE CITY.
Ferries Getting to Work Again.
RAILROADS STILL BLOCKADED
Another Fall Of Snow.

We gave yesterday full details of the great snow
storm here and elsewhere. The weather was rather
sharp yesterday morning. but grew warmer through
the day. 40 that the temperature offered excuse for
keeping within DOORS
The sleghing is generally good throughout the city,
the drifts having been distributed the bare spots,
and the accumuations near the sidewalks 70 cOnsd
cradle extent thrown into the middle of the streets
OF course such an opportunity was not lost by the
people and all manner of rides were INDUCED in with
mad recklessness from the tendoars hour fourth
finland sleigh to the pung built in hour and worn
out the next. few wheeled omnibuses were
in use, but all the lines turned out many sleghs
as they could furnish with teams and tens Of thousands
of sixpences were harvested for democratic sleigh
rides At night the principal thoroughfares were filled
with seiRhs girls horses songs men, bells yells and
other noise and confusion enough to astOnish the pop
ulation of lunatic asylum. In the expressive vugate
Young America event it with perfect looseness,
and loose indeed il was in manners and conversation
rather too loose for refined taste, but entirely charac
teristic of New-York on spree. Break-downs and
novers were frequent but not disastrous, and on the
whole all went merry marriage bell as the noble
poet said for this Occason only
MORE snow.
About 10 O'Clock last night another snov-storm be-
gan fortunately without the high wind which spoiled
the first, and while we wrote this the promise was good
for enough TO make the sleighing all that reasonable
people could desire.
HOUSES UNROoFED IL BROOKLYb.
The roofs of some brick houses on the corner OF ST.
Felix street and Fulton avenue were blown of DUNG
the gale on Monday morning The buildings were
occupied. They belonged to the estate OF H. ).
Coffin. The roof of the corner house was carried
distance of two hundred yards another building
without touching it.
BROOKLYN SIDEWALKS.
Nany of the sidewalks still remain uncleaned, even
in the most frequented thoroughfares. 10 order 10
hurry up delinquents, the police yesterday notified
| them that if the ordinance was not complied with
within certain time they would be prosecuted
| These notices may have good effect.
TRAVEL IN BROOKLIs.
On the Greeppoint Railroad route stages were sub
stuted for the cars and there seems to be no pros
pect of a change Until warmer weather clears the
track.
The Flushing Railroad is included in the embargo,
and residents of Flushing were conveyed to and from
| the city in seighs ard wagons.
| TELEGRAPH LINE. AND TIM STORM.
Notwithstanding the severity of the storm on Mon
day most of the telegraph lines were in good working
order and were of incalculabe advantage to railroad
travellers and bsated travellers as well as the business
| public generally. The storm was most severe al the
East, but the American Telegraph Company lines to
Halifax transmitted four or five thousand words OF the
steamer Americas news, beside serving their usual
j patrons with their accustomed prompness Next TO
the East the storm most severely felt at the North
West. but the wires of the New.YOik and Buffalo
Company worked perfectly as usual throughout the day
to Chicago, st. Louis and NewOrleans. Oftbe direct
| lines to the South only one-the House Washington
Lne-worked this side of Baltimore, but that was in
good order throughout the day. The Magnetic and the
| Washington and New Orleans lines, were unable to
work from Sunday night till Tuesday forenoon
CONDITION OF THE RAILROADS.
We append the facts in regard - Railroad travel,
| gathered by our reporters. No mails had arrived al
the Post Office up TO IL P. m nor were any looked for
| before this morning.
THE CITY RAILROADS.
| A number of workmen engaged yesterday in
cleaning the from the tracks OF the different Rail
road lines and in SO doing piled the snow to such
height in front the sidewalks as to subject the resi-
dents to inconvenience and annoyance In some cases
it was unavoidable if they wanted to clear the track.

in, will prevent the cars from running for time.
This difficulty is encountered every Winter and it is the
duty Of the Common Council to pass some law TO avoid
| it.
