t , Along, the lliadsou..
The recent cold weather has had its effect
on the Hudson river by closinethat stream
with ica from Troy to Hudson. In that dis
tance, for the three or four days, huge fields
of ice nave been moved backward with the
tide,
until Wednesday night, when a nortit
eastsnow storm set in, and raged furiously
all that night, the wind blowing heavily.
The storm was the heaviest from Albany to
Hncistin, extending . as it did nearly the
whole length of the river. Yesterday morn
ing thi3 ice at Castleton was fast, aid' Will
probably remain so unless a freshet ensues.
At Schociack it was also fast, and in fact
from that point down to Hudson. At the
latter.place the river is sofull of ice that the
ferry boat can hardly navigate. The Albany
boats stopped running three or four days
-since as did also the New York and Hudson
steamers. The Kingston or Rondout boats
are still running, meeting with very little
obstrUction. Shortly after the snow, ceased
falling, the wind stiddenly shifted to the
northwest and blew a perfect hurricane
- The water rose to an unusual -height,
the waves along the , line of the
Hudson River Railroad, in 'some instances
dashing over the track and even to the top
.of the cars attached to passing trains. A
sloop, name - unknown, was dragging her
anchor at the northern entrance of the
Highlands aslhe train passed. Her, main
sail was torn loose and her topmast gone.
Just below Sing Sing a schooner was ob
served lying on the beach the waves mak
ing a-clean breach over her. The gale was
-a heavy one, and np to this time of writing
it is still raging. The river to all practical
purposes is closed from Albany to .Hudson.
No damage has occurred to the track of the
Hudson River Railroad.
The Gale at Buffalo.
BUrrAno, Thursday, Dec. 21.—The fol-,
lowing tiresome of the effects of last night's
gale: St. John's Church buret damaged
:and window's broken. The. spire of the
mew Universalist Church rocked so badly
:that it crumbled thecapstonesanddislodged
some of them. Part of the roof of the
•Covrier office was blown off.
Tne snioke-stack and part of the roof of
the Buffalo Steel Works was :blown dowri.
The steam barge International was blown
from its moorings and carried down the'
Niagara river som distance. A large num
ber of chimneys were blown down all over
the city.
