NEW YORK, FEE. II, 1882.

We have had an old fashioned snow
storm. 1t began to fall last Saturday
night and continued unlnterruptedly
until Sunday morning. 1t drifted
badly in places and some streets were
impossible. Ontne elevated roads cars
ran regularly, but many of the surface
roads could not begin operations until
late in the day. Trains we're dslsyed
and many New Workers failed to re-
ceive their Sunday supply Of milk
Sleighs were out in force and a contin-
uous jingle OF bells filled the air. Ele-
giant Russian s'eighs, ran side by side
with improyised cutters made of dry
goods boxes on runners. Heavy sleighs
drawn by four horses, took the places
OF the coaches usually driven through
Central Park, and we're overloaded at
every trip, 1t is estimated that GO, 900
sleighs of all kinds passed into the Park
Liverymen made money fast and could
exact almost any price for y turnout.
-Four dollars an hour was the ruling
price FOR a cutter, but in many instan-
ces this price was doubled and cheer.

when hei is dead and gone, there seems
be no trouble in producing cred.tablc

upon him he could again walk about
without the use Of a cane. The facts,
as above stated, will be verified by the
