The snow, some thIee inches deep and about an inch of water under it, made fine slosh which being well trodden up by the good church goers, Sunday night, froze in such condition that many un- regeneTate sinners were tempted to swear about if, Monday morning. Some of the more public spirited citizens cleared their sidewalks up, Sunday, but the ma jority seemed to dislike to profane the Sabbath, and showed their respect for the day by letting the slosh remain on their walks.
