through dire necessity. Within the area
but few of the benches were occupied and
few or country people, with their produce,
were present. The supply of vegetables
was limited and by no means varied, while
poultry, which was more plentiful, was
high. The butchers had their usual sup

ing the use Of steam syphons as substitute
for fire pumps on all steam vessels of 100

SNOW, HAIL, RAIN AND SLEET.-The low
temperature of yesterday was succeeded
early in the evening by cloudy weather,
and about dark snow began to fall, which
soon turned into hail and then to rain. The
latter froze as soon as it fell, and this morn
ing the face of the earth was glazed with
ice. Walking OH sidewalks was almost an
impossibiity for time, and man and beast
alike took the broad highway. The trees
and telegraph and telephone wires were
completely coated, the former presenting
beautiful spectacle. Later in the day the
temperature rose considerably, and thaW
set in. which has continued ever since, rem
dering walking not quite so difficult or dan
gerous.

PROVISIONS FROM THE ARCTIC REGIONS.
Mr.. J. Dreifus, of this city, recently attend
ed the sale of Government stores at the
Brooklyn navy yard, and among the pur-
chases he made was large part OF the pro-
visions which were put up expressly for the
Greedy relief expedition, and which were
sent to the Arctic regions on the steamers
Bear Alert and Thetis. He invested about
$4,000 with which he bought quantities of
clothing, -four, meats, canned goods, &C.,
the latter of which are said to be as good as
when first packed Mr.. Dreifus had the
provisions shipped to this city, where they
met with a ready sale.

The RIVER. While the ice in The river
is more broken up and not 50 heavy as 1t
was yesterday, most of the steamers nave
stopped running for while, and business
along the wharves is consequently at
standstill. The Arrowsmith arrived mere
last night about o'clock and reports the
ice as far down as Maryland Point, but not
heavy enough to interfere with navigation
below Quantico. The little steamer w. .
Moore also arrived last night from down
the river, having met with no accident from
the ice, The Norfolk steamers Leary anu
Lake did not make their down trips last
night, having been withdrawn for few
DAYS, and are now at their wharves at
Washington. Three oyster boats are re
ported at Quantico, where they will wait
for a day or two, and if the ice permits Will
come up in tow. The schooner Lizzie Will
son was towed to this city from Washing
ton Yesterday, and will load cooperagee for
Cuba. But one of the Washington ferry
boats has been running to-day, making
trips about every two hours. Much OF the
ice in the channel is running up and down
with the tide, but the river presents Or ca
~ appearance.
