The STORN.-The streets and avenues are de-
serted to-dayby all except those absolutely COM
PEELED to face the fury of the equinoctiaI. The
central portion Of the city has been in manner
hooded since daybreak. The immense quantity
OF the alphabetical and numerical streets into the
sewer drops, has chOked the openings on Penn
sylvanla avenue and rendered the crossings i'm
PaSSible. The high wind prevents the use of
umbrellas, which are in many cases turned inside
out, or torn to pieces by its force
