prudence of that man to scorn and turns bis wl>dom
io chattering fooRshncas. Hain. snow, bau, sun*
shine, cl tinline,s and then a cold wave t.-ll the story
of the weather for ihe last thirty-six hours. Yester?
day there were flurries of snow which fluttered
through ths air like eider down; then the sunshine
glinted over the housetops and bathe, the ol tv la
yellow Ugh!, and Inst of all a blast from the lusty
lungs of tho northwest wind swept over th** island
and spread chill and di,comfort.
Tho streets were Inundated with slush, and sluggish
rivers of water anti mud crept along the strcet-tar
Hacks. Tho cro-slngs were slough, and th.* gutters
w-.i" narrow pools. Rather soanhma afforded but
-light protection from the Ice-cold slush which cum?
bered the carib. SfeOes as light as fairy boots aud
goloshes and arctics sa heavy a* ssnybOBts were
alike unable to re-sist tho Influx of the tl Ml Thoy
Oms unseaworthy craft, which shipped great quanti*
Uss of btlge water at every step. There wei. ex?
panses of what was apparently firm nnd solid snow
in the street-. No sooner d'd unwary pedestrians
try to nuiko their stay across them than ibero waa
ii swish of slush, and the sbOOtOfB Sf the adventurous
ons sank below iii** water-Una. Ths street-ear csa*
panics cleared Ihelr truck, and left S channel In

of New-York were going to do shoat it. Ibe com?

pared from a special recipe. As slu.-h lt should
nave been mark*d Al. The rivers were blot ked
willi Ice, and the ferryboat* could not get Into their
slips without bin-Ling several times.
It was a day *,f Inga'hering lor the tugboat captains.
A fleet of tugs w.-nt down the bay on the lookout
for vessels hemm**d In by lh*3 lee. In con,ltlerutlon
of a f<*w hundred dollars the tugboat captains wera
willing to play tlie part of good Samaritans at any
time. Lighters and sarges ran aground or were
lammed In by the Ice. Incoming Steamers could not
get to their pion without the assistance of several
tugs.
The harbor was Uko a big punch bowl filled with
pieces nf cracked ice. The k-e stretched about from
s!i"M to shore In Hie East Uiver. Ali ferryboats
were more or less delayed. Their slips were kept
from niling up by thc work of Hie tugboats. All tho
ferries abandoned schedule Hine, and tbs Snuth Brook?
lyn and staten Island bunts could hardly make a
trip lu an hour.
The ferryboat Hudson city of the Pennsylvania
Railroad left Its slip ai Jersey city last night be
