WHEN THE ICE BROKE.
Description of an Old Time Spectacle
on the Hudson River.
The breaking uf the ice on the Hud-
son river is described in "Memoirs
of an Anfericau Lady" as a "rubliuhe
spectacle." A hundred and- fifty years
ago the whole population of Albany
deemed it s tight 'well worth some
effort to ,,tee. The first noire of the
breaking, ice, like a long, loud peal of
thunder. sent every one hurrying to
the riverside. r '
e and if it happened to
be as early morning hour cher. was
+'f 4uc.-assemblage:
No one who had a nightcap on wait-
ed to put it off As for waiting for
one's cloak. it was a thing out of the
gnestioo. You caught the thing next
to you that you could wrap around
you and ran. On the way you saw
every door left open and pails and
baskets without number set down in
the street. People never dreamed of
being obeyed by their slaves until
the ice was past.
The houses were left quite empty.
The meanest slave, the youngest child,
were to be found on the shore.
When arrived at the show place the
multitude, with their eyes all bent
one way, stood immovable and silent
as death until the tumult ceased and
the mighty commotion ended. Then
every one tried to give vent to the
vast conceptions with which his mind
had been distended.
The swelling of the waters under
the ice, increased by rivulets. 'en-
larged by melting .cows, led to the
general bunting of this mighty mass
0t ice. Oonoeive a solid mass from
rix to eight feet thick bursting for
many miles in one ceitinued rupture,
produced by a fore • inconceivably

instant by an impetuous torrent.

On motion of Messrs. Gibbing, and
Hill, John Scott was appointed truster
of the Clinton Collegiate Institute.
A letter from J. J. Wright suggest-
ing a county memorial to the late Dr.
Dunlop, first warden of the Huron
district in 1842, is before the executive
committee.
Petitions from the ratepayers of the
townships of East and West Wawa -

A deputation from Goderich and
Wingham hospitals waited ort the
council yesterday afternoon asking
grants His Honor Judge Holt and A.

McCallum and Moir. that the same
grants to the hospitals as last year be
made was sent to the executive com-
mittee.

of questions asking fur certain in-
formation, says The New York Sun.
to be uskd in the preparation of the
Government blue book. One of the
questions in the list was, "What are
your marital relations?"
The object of this particular ques-
tion was to find out whether the post -
mestere .are married, single, widowed
or divorced. But some .uf the rural
postmasters did nut understand, and
many answers were received in whish
the pertsons addreaee.i endeavored to
give a clear add lucid explanatiuu of
the status of their married life. One
postmaster brieR,' stated that his
domestic anal' were "tine and
dandy." Another not so fortunate
replied 'Tinily middling," allile a
third filled in the blank space with
two words, "The ' ant."

The Two Barons.
Roger Bacon. 1214-94, known as the
"miraculous doctor," was a very re-
markable mac, 300 years ahead of hie
time In fart, his mind was more
Inudern than that of Francis Bacon,
who lived three and` a half centuries
later. He was probably the inventor
of gunpowder; lie knew that there
were different kinds of gases; he pre-
dicted steamboat* and railroads; he
constructed lenses and burning
glasses and was acquainted with the
theory uf the telescope, if he did not
actually construct one. In an age of
unusual ignorance and superstition
he stood for keen, systematic think-
ing. In opposition to the spirit of
his time he sought to divert the i
tercet of his contemporaries from
scholastic substitutes to study of
nature. A great many would justify
Draper in calling Roger Bacon a
peeler man --than - was -Dais- more fam-

outskirts of London in it slept a
pretty dimpled baby, and beside it
lay a fat pug puppy, its nose almost

Beside them stood a little ragged
waif, whose tattered garments; bare-
ly covered her with decency. In
turn she stroked the baby and the
Puppy.
A lady passing Looted the -strange
