The void weather seomi to bavo bo l in for good.
Jack Frost bas covcied our pomls hiiJ fkatlng
parka with linn, hard lco, and already the men,
women, and children arc to be seen eujrajrert in
the healthful and invigorating sport of sk itlnir.
Tbe parka now present a most beautiful sight
vith the pft,v and brilliant assemblages that are
gathered wilbin tbeir enclosures.
Theoe parka are an Institution, and there are
probably more of thi-m in successful operation
in I'biladclphla than In any other city on tbe
continent. They are as as follows:
The Oakdale Park is accessible by the Fourth
and Kiehth Streets passenger railroad.
(Tbe Harrison Park is on Derks street, between
Front and Second streets.
Arctic Park, Eighth street and Columbia
avenue.
North Broad Street Fark, accessible by the
Thirteenth and Fifteenth Streets Itallroad.
Kestone Park, Third and Morris streets.
Kastwick's Skating Paik, near Gray's Ferry
bridge.
GraVa Ferry Park, near the bridge.
Central Skating Park, Fifteenth and Wallace
streets,
National Skating Park, at Twenty-first and
Columbia avenue, and at tbe Jfree Union Skat
ing Park, Fourth and Diamond streets.
All of these parks arc open during the day,
and until 10 P. M. Most ot them have bands of
music in attendance, and have every appliance
that will add to the comlort and convenience of
tbeir patrons.
Seklng of skat hie and winter sports, wc
ratnc across the following amusing article, from
the pen of "Grin" (Air. E. C. Grlswold), which
appeared in the Cine nmti Timet:
"7 Inter Is the coldest season of the year, because It
comet la the winter, mostly. In some countries winter
coims In (lie aumoier. sad thon It Is very p easant. I
wish winter came in uuw r n tlilt country, which la
the brat Government that the aun everslione upon.
Then, we could go skating barefoot and slide down hill
in liurn trowsors. We could snowball without our
flnaeis K' t'l'ig oold and men who no out aieigh rldlua
wouldn't liave to stop at every tavern to warm, as they
do now. Itsnowa mors In the winter than it docs at
any o, ber season of tbe year. This iu because ao many
cutters and sleighs are made then.
' Ice grows much better In wioter than In summer,
Which was an Inconvenience boiore the discovery of I co
house. Water that Is loit out of door Is apt to freeze
at this aeaiton. Home loiks take In their wells and
cisterns on a oo'd night, and keep them by the Ore, ao
they don't freeze.
"skating la great fan In the whiter. The boys get
their skates on when the river la frozen over, and race,
May tax, break through the ice. and get wet all over
(they get drowned sometimes, and are brought home all
drlupiDg whloh makes their another scold, getting
water all over the carpet In the front room), tall and
creak tbeir beads, and enjoy themselves In many other
ware. A wicked bo; once atole my ska'es, and ran off
with them and I cou dn t catch lum. Mother saldi
2evernilnd. Judmnant will overtake him.'
"Well. II Judgment doe. Judgment will have to be
pretty lively on hi legs, for that bov rani bully.
"There alu't much a elgh riding, except In too win
ter. Folk don't seem to care about It in warm
weather. Grown up boys and irirU like to so eloign
riding. The boya genera ly arlve wltn one hand.au 1
help the girls to hold their muira with the other. Bro
ther Bob let me go aiong a little wav, once, when he
took i'ella Ann ( rane out sleigh riding and I thought
he paid more attention to bo.dlug the muff than he
did to bo ding the hordes.
"Knew bulling la aootber winter aport. I have
snow-balied In the summer but we used stones and
bard apples. It Isn't 10 amusing as It la la winter,
someho."
We have not as yet experienced the latter
visitation, although in some parts of the coun
try there have been heavy falls of snow. We
have had a few sprlukles in our midst. Last
night, indeed, there was just enough fell to
make it certain that winter has commenced.
There was a very small and scant covering on
the ground this morning. We would desire in
this connection that the reader should peruse
the splendid little po?m on 'The First Snow
Fail," by James Russell Lowell. It is aj fol
lows: The snow had bepun in the gloaming,
And busMy, all the night.
Bad been heaping field and highway
With a silence deep anu white.

Fire and Narrow Escape fbom De
struction. About 7 o'clock last evening, the
house at the corner of Seventeenth and Locust
streets, occupied Dy mre. vy. vy. risuer, ions
fire. The member of tbe family went out to
lake tea with a relative, about half-past 6,
leaving the servants, six in number, to take
care ot the house. About half an hour after
they bad taken their dpparture, the cook
smelt smoke, and on going upstairs, found the
.second story entry full of it, and the doors of
the chambers of Mrs. Fisher and her daughter
locked, and found that the premises were on
fire. The alaiui was K'Vct, uuJ iLe coachman,
with the assistance of the female servants,
succeeded in breaking open one of tbe chamber
doors, and found a bureau and a bed in
flames, and the room filled with smoke. In
the adloining room a bed was on tire. They
succeeded in suppressing the flames to some
extent, and with tbe aid of some of the mem
bers of the Philadelphia Engine, effectually sub
dued them with buckets of water tuK.cn troin
the bath-room.
Considerable damage was done to the furni
ture of the room by the heat and water. One
bureau was entirely destroyed, as were the two
beds. Had not the alarm been given at the
time it waB, tt?e whole building would, without
doubt, bavc been a muss f ruins this morning.
Fire Marshal Blackburn made an investiga
tion, and the evidence, so far, implicates
William Keating, a colored waiter, from Frede
ricksburg, Va., who has been in the family only
a short time. He was arrested at 11 o'clock by
the Fire Marshal and Sergeant Pennim$ton, ot
the Fifth District, at a house in Fifteenth street,
near Bedford, and was lockel up in the Fifth
District Station House to await a further in
vestigation. Auction Stork Kobbud. 1 be store of
Thomas A. Bailey, No. 1023 Market street, was
robbed on Wednesday Bight or yesterday morn
ing by some person or persons who were sup
posed to have been cecreted iu some part of the
building when it was closed for the nii;ht. The
fire-proof, which was built by firm in Wall
street, New York, was broken into by the
thieves, and robbed to the amount of several
thousand dollars in money and jewelry.

A Mixun-rjp Case, A man by the name
or alias of "Long Mike" wns employed to take
charge of a drove of cattle from tbe West Phila
delphia drove-yard, to be taken to Trenton.
Soon after starting, he concluded that the drive
was more than he could handle, and he em
ployed another man, by the name of John Bax
ter, to assist him for twenty five cents an hour.
Being thus relieved of a part of his re
sponsibility, "Long Mike" took the opportunity
to stop at nil the taverns, and imbibe ot tho
fluids vended at those ulaces. He soon got
gloriously tight, and Invited Baxter to ?o in and
drrnk with him. The latter refused, when
"Lon? Mike" struck him.
Baxter, being a high-tempered Irishman, could
not stand that, and having a shlllelah in his
possession, he plaved the "Devil's tattoo" on
Long Mike's head. The latter then left him, when
he drove his cbarpe to Fiankford in safety.
Hardly had be got into the latter place when
Long Mike came alonir and got a warrant out
against bira for assault ami battel y. He was
arrested last cvcnine, and despite of his pro
testation and asseverations, was held in $ 500
bail by Alderman Holme, on a charge of assault
and battery. He is, no doubt, reflecting on the
uneertaiBty of the law, and will, it is said, tarn
the tables on his prosecutor.
Heaiuno before United states Com-
missionsr (sBRQBaitT. At 12 o'clock touav a man
named John Cardiff was before Commissioner 8or
jreant on the charge of moving whisky to a plaos
otlior tban a bonded warehouse.
Alichael Rouhanirh sworn Last, night, about 6
o'olock, at twenty-first and Master streets, I saw
this man driving dray with a barrel of wtilnky on
it; lwent op to him, and saw the barrel bad no
inspection marks on it; I askod him what
was in lit he eld be didn't know; I asked him
wbore he loaded, be said at Twenty-third and Mas
ter streets ; he bad taken two barrels ot molas-es
thorp, and a man l old liim to load tbe barrel, and
take it to Tenth and Jelilrson streets, and he would
be there as soon aa he was; 1 told him it looked
sospioiots to move a barrel of whisky at that hour,
lie said it looked like smufarlinjr; 1 took him to the
Station bouse, and told Sorgoant Walter lirodie to
see about it.
Sergeant Walter Brodle sworn I took the yonnir
man to Tenth and Joflerson streets, and saw a Mr.
Barry; 1 asked blm (Cardiff; 11 that was tho man?
and he replied, "So, it was a ta'ler man "
The defendant was held in 8500 bail to answer
beiore the United States District Conrt.
Counsel for the United States, Mr. Valentine; and
Mr. O'Nell for defendant
A Destructive Fellow. John McGinn.
went out on a bender yesterday. In order to
fortify his body against the attacks of the cold
weather, he Blled his interior with hauid Are.
The consequence was that John got into a
shocking state of inebriety, and was inconti
nently taken in charge by a policeman, and
deposited in the lock-up. Now the lock-up of
me t irst district is a very comfortable place,
Lieutenant Fuller havine an eye to the comfort
of those tinder him. John wishing to enjoy the
heat to its fullest extent, plttnted himself in
iront of the heater, and the heat had a bad
effect on his head, swelling the bump of de
structlvcness exceedingly Targe. The conse
quences were, tirst, tnat tne coll was pretly
well demolished; and, secondly, John was sent
below iu default of $1000 bail by Alderman
Lutz, to answer a charge of malicious mischief.
Accidents. Yesterday afternoon a car
pmter named William Walsh, while walking
along the norlh side of Girard avenue, between
Sixth and Seventh streets, carrying a box of
tools, slipped down on the ice which bad
formed in one of the gutters that crosses the
walk, and was severely cut on the face, which
came in contact with a saw edge.
A Utile boy named Denny Wilcox, residing on
Fourth street, below Diamond, while skating ou
a large pond near his borne last evening, was
run over by a number of large boys, who were
playing at' pames, regardless of the safely of
o'.hers, and thrown down so forcibly that his
left shoulder-blade was dislocated. The little
lellow was taken to his home, where medical
assistance was procured and his shoulder
righted.
Filial Ingratitude. Edward Gaffaey
is what is generally termed a hard case. He is in
he habit of showiug a violent disregard of the
fourth comniandmeut on any and all occasions.
The climax was reached last evening, when
Edward returned to his home in Cadwalader
6treet, near Dauphin, in a state of drunkenness,
and, gettiner into a quarrel with his father,
kicktd the old man down stairs, and then set to
and smashed the furniture. The ruthless man
was arrested on the information of tho neigh
bors, whose sense of decency and propriety bal
been so outraged, and was taken before Alder
man Fie'ds. After a hearing be was held in $600
bail to auswef the charge ot assault and battery
at Court. The case is a very aggravated one,
and the prisoner has been guilty of the same
thing, it is alleged, several times before.
Violation of Ordinances. nisjb. Con
stable Barton made several arrests yesterday for
the violation of city ordinances. A great deal of
annoyance to our citizens is caused by tbe dis
regard of the ordinances that have been passed
to regulate the' business privileges enjoyed by
storekeepers and maiket-men. Amongst those
arrested yesterday were Mr. Kline, for a viola
tion of market ordinance, in the North Second
street market; and Alexander McCarthy, for
violating the market ordinance in South Second
street market. Tbe first was fined by Alderman
Toland and the latter by Alderman Lutz.
