The Sleixh1ng.

Another lively scene was presented on Whalley avenue yesterday, there being a large number of sleighs out. The weather was delightful, and for long time con- tinued stream of turnouts was passing up and down the avenue, watched by gay crowd of onlookers who talked horse until they were hoarse and watched the lively brushes that were constantly occurring, showing every thing from three to 8 ten minute gait. Several narrow escapes but no serious acci- dents occurred. A little more snow would make the sleighing capital, but in several places now itis decidedly poor, especially where the road has been partially repaired, the loose stone sticking up through the snow making it bad for both horse and sleigh. As usual, heavy draft teams occupied good part of the road and very much interfered with the sport. An officer stationed at the post, there to direct them to take the right of the railroad track, where there is plenty of room, would be good idea and relieve the minds of many who would thoroughly enjoy the sport, and give their horses an opportu- nitv to show their metal

Passed Away

Mrs. Eliza A., widow of the late William Kneeland Townsend, died at the family residence in East Haven yesterday afternoon at half past four. The deceased was s2 years of age the 26th of last November. She had been in her wonted health until about day or two before her death The cause of her death was owing apparently to sudden failure of the vital powers She had lived to see her children grow up to fill honored and prominent.places and to see her grandchildren likewise rising to places of honor. She had been active for one of her years, and retained to high degree her cheerfulness, quick dis comment and active powers of mind general ly. She was the eldest daughter of the late Hervey and Nancy (Bradley) Mulford Mr. Mulford was g. much respected citizen of New Haven. Of her nine children eight are liv- ing. Of her sisters one was Mrs. Charles Robinson, another Mrs. Charles Whittlesey, another Mrs. Sidney M. Stone all deceased, and one sister and two brothers survive, viz, Mrs. Joseph Parker, of this city, James H. Mulford, Esq, and Capt. Abram B. Mulford, both of New York The husband of the deceased was for years highly esteemed merchant of New Haven On account of declining health he retired to the beautiful and picturesque property now the residence of the family, devoting his whole attention to agriculture as a science, and there spent the remainder of his life, dy- ing at the early age of 5, Sept. 23d, 1s49, after brief illness. He was a devoted Christian gentleman, and his virtues and val uable public services were finely commemo- rated in a beautiful in memoriam tribute by the Rev. Burdett Hart. Of Mrs. Townsend it may truly be said that she. was a lady of refinement and education, and that she lived esteemed, honored, beloved and admired by all who knew her, bearing her part equally perfect as a Christian and a gentlewoman She was equally beloved by all, of whatever station; in the homes of the poor and the mansions of the rich she received equal hom- age. She was one of the ornaments of society in her youth and a most lovable companion in age. Though highly accomplished she was domestic wife, the fondest of mothers, an indulgent mistress, most sincere and disinterested friend and kindly, generous and. charitable towards all She will be much la mented. She was descendant of four of the MayHower pilgrims, viz, John Rowland and wife and John riley and wife; also from many of the original settlers of the Boston and New Haven colonies, among them Vii. liam Futile, part of whose original grant is now the residence of the family.

TheIceC Carnival on the Sound.

The upper end of Long Island Sound is filled with floating ice and the boats expert ence great difficulty in forcing their way through From Sands Point to the Gate is one continuous ice-foe, and unless thaw comes, or strong tides break. up the pack, navigation will be seriously impeded. Sun day afternoon the Bristol, of the Fall River line was obliged to drift about for over an hour until the ice moved. In Gardiner's bay an unprecedented scene is presented. Glis- tening ice cakes, some of them an acre or two in circumference, jostle together with the ebb and flow of the tide, and break up in smaller fragments. From Greenport to Sag Harbor is one solid field of snow-covered ice, through which it is impossible for steam or sailing vessels to find an open channel.

 THE wILHELAdJ CONCERT.

The concert.at the Opera House last evening was but poorly attended, but those who were present were favored with one of the very best musical entertainments ever given in this city. Herr August Wilhelmj during his visit to this country has produced musical sensation. This is owing not alone to his unequalled skill as yiolinist, but to his re- markable personnel and the wonderful mag netism of his presence. His performance last evening was simply grand, thoroughly classic in style and simple in method. Con stantin Sternberg, the pianist, is quite 8 young performer and he suffered in compa- rison with the great violinist. He is an ar ltist of quite remarkable powers and has very fine technique. Miss Fritch has a very fair soprano voice and tolerable execution. All the artists were well received and repeat edly eneored.
