NEW YORK, Jan. 10.-Thls has been a
day of Shiyers and shakes and the pc
destrian could almost hear his bones
creak as he trod the snow-coyered
ground with the wind driving the cold
into his marrow. When the thermometer
reaches the teens in this city, with a
good healthy breeze from the harDor TO
back it, the cold is more trying than in
other localities where the zero notch is
reached and passed. A glance at Broad
way and on Park Row in the vicinity
of the New York! and Brooklyn
bridge this afternoon disclosed
enough fur apparel to supply
covering for a we'll regulated stuffed
beast show. From the common imlta-
ton sealskin of the Italian to the gen
uino article envelOping the form or
embellshing the overcOat of the ladies
and gents, every one seemed united in a
full display of hairy protection against
the chilling blasts. Snow and ice have
blocked the work on the street cleaning
department. Nearly all the dumps are
surrounded by ice, so that dumping
scOws can not get in and the loaded
ScoWs can lot get out to sea.
