the paycmerts and streets have been given
a thorough washing. The SNOW has al

the cutters. and streams of water from the
effect of the thaw and the rain together
are making their way to the river.

40 o'clock this morning and the
appearance of things overhead convinces
one that til: water from the effects of
the continued thaw will run during the
rest of to-day. The ice on the river is yet
unbr"iSen and apparently as solid as ever:
1t is entirely covered with water, however,
and, in the event of 4 freeze, would be rs
smooth as glass.
