THE WEATHER.--To-day has not been one
| enrltled TO the most entire commendation, even
! by those most decidedly addicted to hydropathic
measures. In fact there has been rather too
| much of it, We are always more or less eXhila-
rated by an atmosphere that is not so completely
| surcharged with humidity that every friend
| walks the streets as modern Ntobe, "all tears
! Last evening it started out as regular old
| fashioned hail-storm, which gradually softened
| down into a downy shower of snow-fiakes,
msnting the city IN marriage robe of rare and
| exquisite texture.
Later in the night the balmier breezes began
to blow, and the whole top OF the deposit was
encrusted with a solid cry3tallization that was
! perfectly eXcrucisting to persons addicted to
| corns. Every one so unfortunate as to be pedes-
| trians at late hour knew what the poet meant
| when he said that we must "learn through
| patient suffering 70 be strong.n At every step
the feet broke through the treacherous material
| and sank deep into the more delicate substrata.
| To-day we have unmitigated sush, and in rich
| proiusion. The cutters, choked with the mass of
snow thrown from the sidewalks, have thrown
their wealth of moisture upon the pavements,
and rendered navigation, ii not dangerous, at
| least unpleasant.
The tall of snow has not enured to the advan-
tage of any of our pleasure-seeking citizens.
There was just enough to ruin the sleighing, and
not quite enough for sleighing. 1t rendered
| Chestnut street desolate waste, where stranded
wanderers hopelessly gazed for dry land with
| inconsiderable success. Some who had business
| IN wh called them abroad
irate, while some, we fear, were proiane. In
| fact, it was one of those days whose like we do
not care about looking on again.
