The Cold Snap.

SUMMARY OF LAST NIGHTS DISPATCHES.
The extreme cold weather still prevailed over
the whole country last night. Nearly all the
railroads in Central New York are biockaded
II is expected that to-day every ferry route
above New York city will be abandoned. At
all points above Poughkeepsie people cross the
river on the ice, and al RhinebecS and north OF
that point teams cross on the ice. Railroad
teIegramS report more serious detentionS of
trains on the New York Central railroad. West
OF Rochester the running of all trains has been
abandoned and west OF Utica 30 Buffalo the
situation is worse than during the last storm
The ferries in New York city were all obStructed
by ice yesterday. The boats OF the PennSylya-
MIA railroad and COurtlandt street line suffered
the greatest detention during the day, and after
$50 p m. no boat left the slip for Jersey City.
Between a. IN and $3.50 D. m only three trips
were made, and at $50 the last boat left the
Slip, and for the first time in twenty years the
ticket-Seller stopped his sales in consequence
OF the Stoppage Of the boats. Between 400 and
t:S p NJ the approaches TO the ferry were
filled with passengers for Jersey City. The pas
sengers were carried to and from Jersey City
by the boats of the DeSbrOSSeS-Street ferry
these latter were delayed so that they took
forty minutes TO the trip. AT Philadelphia the
>chuylkili is frozen, and the Delaware is full OF

hiomcteI yesterday was ID degrees above zero.
In chicago several cases OF freezing are re-
ported but only one was fatal Reports from
points northwest show the cold is continued
and severe, with the thermometer recording
from 10 to 30 degrees below zero. Trains are
delayed on all roads but no accidents OF i'm

AMENITIES OF ORIENTAL LIFE-A few DAYS
ago school teacher in Village of Monastir was
preparing his daughters wedding when one
night go Christian insurgents put In an appear
ance. They carried the bride Off to the noun
talnS, ana sent in word that she would be re-
turned unhurt on receipt OF ef 800. The school
teacher probably never in his life had at one
time so much as $50 in his cash-boX. He was at
his wits end. The demand was only the begin
ming OF dicEer, but whether the girl was saved
or not have not been able to learn. A few
days ago Greek merchant Of this city who has

his agent as follows: christian Insurgents have
robbed your farm, and have carried off YOUR

very hard for the sex with the few avenues of
business open to them. Ii some benevolent
persons or organization would step up and
gather in this large class Of virtuouS and honest
maidenS ard send few hundred to the pure

thought that the tOothSOme Wand that com
posed his frugal meal would in few years be-
come an article of commerce that would be
found on the breakfast table of the rIuid PrpSby

the ''heathen Chinee" But this luxury. that
has been so long considered as an exclusively
yankee production. has been, within the past
nine months, exported to nearly every quarter
OF the habtable globe. For several years past
firm in this city have sought to discover a
method ty which minced fish, or fiSh-balls
could be canned SO as to retain its original
freshness and that peculiar flavor that is sup
posed TO be one of the secrets of the cook art.
After months Of trials they at length succeeded
in producing an article composed OF butter fish
and potatoes, that had the flavor OF the Old
fashioned New England fiSh-bails, and that
"0uld pear tranShlpment around the world and

killed by being stuck in the neck, and are hung
up until every drop OF blood is removed. and
the napeS are carefully Scraped and cleaned
When sailed and dried it is equal to the best
Philips beach fish. The best Nova Scotia no
tatoes are used and, instead OF pork fat, the
best Vermont and New York state butter is

packed solid in tin cans and hermeticaily sealed
after which they are put up in cases of 10 dozen
