u% OVER THE SNOW. Glorious Sleighing—The Tintinnabulations of the Bells—Pifth Avenue, the Park, Harlem Lane and the Coney Island Road—Sights and Seenes—A Summer Sunset if a, Winter Frame—Creenwood Cemeter, Yesterday was decidedly the grandest aa, tor Bolghing that ever came and went WAhout full and popular appreciation, The sky Was bright and biue, the wind bracing and the snow deep and bara enough for the happy ana healthy exercise; bus the boon was a blessing only to a lew, for the many were unable to seize it, simply be- eause it ¢ame like a thief in the night, without * granting notice or asking leave. This was @ pity. Uf it had only been known one week ago that such a day as yesierday was coming, everything capable of moving on rauners would Dave been boxed up for the occasion, aud every horse would have had his shoes sharpened and many mere people would have beeu made hap: As 1% was, however, the crisp clear air was lively with the tintinnabulating bells, Up town and down end on the suburban roads no other Sounds were heard. Some magnificent ¢ yentared down Proadway for a short time in the forenoon, evidently to show off, for there was really litle fun sicigh mding in that thoroughfare. Family sleigns were at a pro- mium, but there were suMcieut out to show that New York can make a considerable display in that hue. THE CITY GENERALLY, Except on the avenues there were compara- tively few sielghs to be seen below the Park; Just Decause horses ft to draw a sleigh were scarce, Everybody, of course, was taken by surprise at the sudden and cheerful change in the temper of the weather and cousequently few horses were prepared for the occasion, Blacksmiths were overrun with customers wanting their horses’ shoes sharpened for the road, but hardly two ont of ten were ready in time to take advantage of the magnifl- cent virgin stretch of sieilghing that extended from the Park entrance to Macomb’s dam bridge. If the cold would only bold three or four days Jonger all New York whl be on ranners as at never was before, The deautifur snow recerved cruel usage on tho avenues, put the side streets preserved it in almost its native purity throughout the day, In the lower commercial re- gions of the city very odd conirivances were placed @n runners, such as coal bunkers, dry goods boxes and broken down scavenger carts. These were met ‘with in all sorts of places, sometimes climbing over @ conglomerate heap of snow, garbage and coal dust, and next plunging into au unfathomable rift and tumbling out right side up and safe as a dollar. FIFTH AVENGE made & most heterogeneous exhibition of moving vehicles in the early afternoon.. There was Just as Many carriages as sletghs, and an uncommonly large number of clumsy coal carts, drays and omnj- bases, Above Thirty-fourth street the sleighs mo- nopolized more and more of the avenue, until they claimed almost all of 1t in the netghborhood of the Park, Most of the fashionable folks made their potmt of departure from tne Fifta Avenue Hotel, anda gailan’ show tiey made ior so short anotcs, The jazziing display of budalo roves of all colors under the snn was the great fearare that caught tie eye in looking up ibe avenue atver the fying procession moving away as fast and slick aud stead oco- motive. Mounttug the crest of the mill at Tairty- ninth street a glorious breeze met everybody bound to the Park—sucn a bree a8 senda 4 Ungie and a thrill to the tips of the toes. Further op, about Filty-secund stréet, it grew stronger and tested overcoats with a tengeance; but thé beloved robes of buftaio bid defiance to its best efforts and kept tae caioric from escaping. The rising wa'ls of the Catholic cathedral giinted like diapiond encrusted Marble in the cold, brigit, gleamiug ne.

Of course there Was the usual desperate Tivatry — betw fast otters and ~ high- flyers, and a great many of the oki frequenters of Hariem Jane, with their cutters polished up and thew horses sharpened for the ro3d, went in like e@razy ones for neck or nothing ranning. Frank Work rusiied up the road like a 2:40 hurricane wiit his bay and sorrel trotters; Charley Ravsom followed In single cuwier, with gray and vay team; J. B. Fel- lowcs was out driving his black horse; Wiliam Vanderbilt in @ Couble sleigh, filled as snugly as a birds’ nest, glided out of the Park with a pair of very jast clipped roan horses. Jim Fisk, maxing no pretensions to ran a race With the lightning steeds of Nariem lane, took it With singular serenity in a richly mounted sleigh and pair of large, heavy bay horses. Robert Bonner tore up the siippery surface of whe road with his gallant pair, Bruno and Brunette, Truesdell's trot r, Richards’ bay team, O’Ponnell’s sorrel, Water- Man’s Tom and mate, Dr. Gordon's Sallie and Sam Lockwood's Champagne Charlie rushed past to fingle cutters and disappeared in the turn to Macomb’s Dam while one might be saying Jack Robinson.

Older New York, in the promise of exhilarating rides on ma- turer runuers to the music of sleigh bells and bebind mettlesome steeds, felt a thrill of delight, and last and not least, everything augured a pleasaut day for election.

Clergymen Refusing to Oficinte. ‘The funeral of Mr. John J, Eckel, so prominently connected with the Burdell murder case in this city, and who died a few days ago at Aibany, took place in this city yesterday.

Mettler, brotner-in-law of deceased, Who escorted the remains from Albany. Eckel Declares His Innocence of Any Connece tion with the Marder of Dr. Burdell. {From the Albany Argus, es After the announcement had peen made to Eckel that he must die we are informed that, at the sug- gestion of a prominent citizen, Eckel’s partner ins cyime, Callicott, had an interview with him, for the mutans of drawing from him any disclosures he t fee! disposed to make In regard to the murder Jeis stated that Eckel emphatically mig of Dr. Burdell, declared that any connection with th he did not know who committed it. He added thi he was entirely guiltless of the crime, and he entered the house abont eleven o’clock on: the night of the murder; that he was met by Mrs, Cunningham in the lower hall; that he noticed she fae tt coniused and excited; that she preceded him up stairs to hia room; that she stopped on the Way up stairs und closet Dr. Burdeli’s bedroom door; that she accompanied him to his own bedroom door, where he left her, locked his door and retired to bed, and that he was entirely ignorant of the murder until afcer the discovery of the body. This statement was made a short time belore his death, and in view of the fact that his physician had in- formed htm that his end was near and that he could Not possibiy survive. Glven under such so'emn cir- cumstances it will doubtless be generally believed, eepeclally as, While it exonerates himself, 1t adds owe inore lnk to the chain of testimony which pointed to Mrs, Cunningham as the murderess of Dr, Burdeil, ACCIDENT CH THE ENE RALWAY, On Monday evening the Bulfalo express train left Long Dock at the usual hour, 6:30, drawn by two locomotives, in consequence of the severe snow storm. Just as the train had crossed the bridge over the Passaic river, near Paterson, piece of tho rai} was broken out of place, and the second engine and three cars were thrown from the track, Great con- fusion prevailed for a while, but it was soon discoy- ered that no one was injured, nor were the cars much damaged, although thrown across the rat's in & manner to completely blockade both up and down tracks. It was three o'clock yesterday morning be- fore the train was iifted upon tho track again, and all travel in botn directions was impeded for several hours, Tn a position exposed to the full biast of the furious storm, the employés had an arduous task, and the passengers had some difficulty in keeping com- fortable, ‘The rail is supposed to have been broken by the frost, Had the accident occurred on the bridge itself the result is horrible to imagine.
