The barrels were scattered about In all directions. A milk wagon, which happened to be in thh way of the runaways, was demolished, and a brown stone hitching post was broken and dashed up on to atbe sidewalk. The horses were, finally stopped at Fifteenth street, wlthont having done any lor dlier damage. Several persons made harrow es capes, but none wereinjured. Snorumso.—Eliza Burk was In! a store at Broad and Booth streets on Saturday evening, aod: after she left two pieces of calico were missed She was pursued and captured, and then dropped the stolen goods. Eliza had a hearing Before Alderman MCpk, and was held in sBt>o bail to answer at Court. ' Snow, Rain, Blush and cold weather of Saturday continued until an early hour yesterday morning, when there was a con siderable fall of snow. About nine o’clock this was succeeded by rain.. The mercuwlu tte ther mometer bad ascended rapidly, and a general thaw commenced.'This put ihe street# in,a horri ble condition. The snow was washedfrom taeniae* walks, and the rain froze as it fell. Of course the pavements soon became very slippery, and it was almost Impossible to stand up. The high banks of enow m the. carriage ways were; con verted into slnsh, which was too deep to walk In, while the space between the rail way tracks bore the appearance of small creeks. In some places where there was a depression Inthe streets, the waterwasnearlythreeieetdeep between the tracks. Pedestrinnism therefore Was not only exceedingly disagreeable, but was attended with much danger. Buen a quiet Sunday as yesterday Was has not been experienced in this city for a long time. Very few people wore upon*the streets, and even the passenger railway care were almost entirely deserted. Fortunately the inlets had been kept pretty well opened by Mr. Henry Blckley, the street con tractor, or there would have been a great over flow of the sidewalks, a flooding of cellars, and consequently much damage to property. In sev eral localities about the city where the ground is low the cellar# were flooded, but os the overflow woe anticipated all perishable articles had previ ously been removed. All day the thaw continued, and there, was rattling of lee through'the tin water-pipes, and the sliding of snow from house-tops. It was feared that the Ice in the Schuylkill would be broken, aod there would be a freshot. About mid night the wind changed and the weather became cold again', about as suddenly as K had changed early in the morning. To-day everything fe fro zen up again. As the .pldewalks are generally covered with Ice, our 'citizens should remember that coal-ashes judiciously sprinkled not only improves the walking, but may save many a bro ken limb or a painful bruiße. $6,525 41 44,615 00 Suspicion op —Jerry Snethens, a man, and two boyainamed John Sayers and Cor nelius Dunn, were arrested on Saturday and taken before Alderman Morrow upon the charge of the larceny of numerous articles which were found in a chest.

Common Bbnse—Are human beings silly euoaghto bawl, bellow, scream, yell, groan, or grout with pain or torment, when they can, free of expense, have all pain, of any name or nature. Instantly. re moved ? Will they pay dollar after dollar to doctors, and yet constantly sutler misery f We know better, and fact* prove to the contrary. Dr. Wolcott’s office is crowded with patients, at No. 170 Chatham square, New York, and 622 Arch street, Phllada., from sunrise till 9 o'clock at night. ’ The doctor accepts of pay born no person; yet, With his miraculous remedy,Pain Paint, he gives a roll release from pain instantly. Thousands of helpless. l hopeless Invalids send to the druggists for the Pain Paint, apd thus, at their quiet homes, apply the liquid. Druggists are apt to urge off and sell the small 25-cent bottles, if possible, when they know that for all long-standing and chronic ailments the patleat ought to have the large size or $5 bottles. The large bottles hold eight of the dollar bottles. Get the large bottles, or send lo the Doctor's office for them. But the doctor has another remedy which has been established and Is In fact the only real standard medi cine for Catarrh; it is the Instant Fain Annlhilator. Over 100,000 bottles are sold each mouth,. Over &000 signatures from medical men of the highest standing attest its virtues. The doctor says that more than one third of the entire population are victims to this loath- Bome disease of the head. Catarrh he affirms to be an ulceratlon'of the head. Thephlegm anti matter irom this filthy sore drops In the throat, and causes the pa tient tohawk uni spit, and at night, while asleep, It steals down the throat into the stomach. And in the morning the patient finds his stomach chocked np with the phlegm and matter that fall Into his throat while asleep, and endeavors to clear his throat of the nau seating mucous, But it shortly undermines the con stitution, finally ending In consumption. Bronchitis is the legitimate child of catarrh in every instance. Troches and all palliatives cannot In any case'reach tho fountain.
