Many were awakened at an early hour by jixgling sleigh bella, which commenced thelr song before daybrosk, amd hep: it up daring cha en\ive @ny.. Everything with ronnecs on it was in the | streets, from the rudest handsled to the richest gilded cutter, A good sleighing enow is looked upon as a groat boon and Inxary by thove who use it, amd love vo reve! freeziog blasts. It seldom comes more than once or twice @ year and sometimes the winter rolls by with. out a slogle chauce for drawing out the sleigh or unfoli- ing ‘he buffaio.
