The weather yesterday was exceed
ingly bright and beautiful, and the
snow, which had fallen to the depth
of fully six inches, was going off with
a rush. In the language of the poet
the walking overhead was delight
full" but terrible under foot, the
wharf being in the worst condition in
front OF w. G. Brown & Co.'s wharf
boat. we ever saw it. The river
during the twenty four hours ending
at P. NJ, had fallen two feet. The
decline. we think, will be slightly
checked by the melting snow. The
mercury ranged from 36o to 50o in the
shade, and up to 66' IN the sun.

The wharf, Notwithstanding its hor-
rible condition, which was a disgrace
to any city-was a scene of real acti7-
ity. The Nick Longworth continued

some of her contracts below.......Thc
