THREE THOUSAND LIVES LOST IN RUSSIA:.
—The following extraordinary statement is from the
Cologne Gazette :—The Russian journals announce an un-
exampled catastrophe at Taganrog, on the Sea of Azoff.
Allured by the mildness of the temperature, and by the
purity of a cloudless sky, about 3,000 inhabitants of
Taganrog followed the fishermen upon the ice. In that
country fishing is the favourite occupation of all .young
and old, rich and poor. The air was so calm that all
advanced, without mistrust, farther and farther upon
the ice, in the hope of obtaining a richer booty. Sud-
denly a warm wind rose from the east, which insen-
sibly rose higher, whirled masses of snow, and finished
by detaching from the shore the ice which adhered to it.
In a few instants the vast sheet of ice cracked—rose—
broke in several places—and the unhappy people who
were upon it saw themselves carried out towards the open
sea. Two hours afterwards not a trace of life was per-
ceived from the shore on the surface of the waves: On the
following day the waves drove ashore a floe of ice, on
which were five of these unhappy people; three were
dead, arid the others stupified by cold—the two last, a
young girl and an old man. The young girl died some
hours after. The old man survived, but from fright he
had lost the use of his tongue. He gave in writing a
narrative of the events of this frightful night. The
number of persons who met death in the waves amounts to
3,000.
