Snow slides.

--The large masses of snow precipitated from the house-tops to the pavement last evening caused some consternation among the pedestrians. We heard of but one person who had any personal experience of the effects of one of these slides, and he was not seriously injured. When he heard the rumbling of the avalanche over his head, he obeyed a natural impulse and leaped for the street, whereas the way to escape is to rush inward, towards the wall of the house.
