ICE CUTTING ON THE ScHUYLKILL.-The sub
oincd description of the method adopted by the hncker
booker Ice Company of Philadelphia for the speedy
separation and transmission of this useful substance
taken from the Philadelphia Ledger, may not prove I'M
interesting to the majority Of our readers:
A clear field of ice In the centre of the stream has
been chosen leading from which to the bank at spot
adjacent TO the capacious icehouse channel Is cut
abou two feet wide along which the ice Is pushed alter
being cut Tn, Ice is cut in one direction In regular
cakes eighteen inches wide. by means OF plow drawn
by horse these aftcrward cut into The proper
lengths by means OF cut saws managed with the
utmost ease by on the surface OF the lce Inc
cakes thus cat are pushed along the channel already
mentioned till they arrive at the bank OF the river where
IA statoped machine which is complete and performs
In an admirable the task OF raising the ice into
the house. 1t consists OF endless chain put In motion
by horse power which, plying over plane 40 feet long
inclined at angle OF about IS degrees, the cakes
are taken hold of they arrive at the foot OF
the plane by grapnes placed along the chan about eight
feet apart cakes slide very easily over iron tracks
on the plane, aud arriving Mt the top fall on 10
another in the interior. which can be moved so as
10 convey the cakes to any part OF the building The
qrapnels being eight feet apart cakes seven feet long
can be taken up the sscent at very rapid late but
the cakes being unwelcy when cut that size, they
are generally but four five feet long In tire space
of n siugie minute, raw nine cakes deposited IN
the building which, at an average OF three hundred
lbs each would make 100 lbs in that time. The enor
NOUS quantity of 800 placed in the house in
seven hours by of this machine. One peculiarly
attending this method is that none OF the men employed
have any occasion handle the ice from the time 1t is
first cut until il is safely deposited in its appropriate de-
pot Two men only required to attend for the pur-
pose of feeding the machine and the power OF working

COUGH IN BosroN.-The fremont Temple was
flied to OVERLOOKING Sunday evening by an audience
anxious to hear and who had created such an
unusual share of excitement and interest in the public
mind. He Is said have spoken WELL though still suf
ferng from the effects of his illness. The jour
,.ai, In reporting his speech uses this language;
"Mr. Cough said that might have come there
that evening preudced against the Temperance
and against the speaker-but if their hearts in the
right place they could not contemplate the efforts which
being made TO elevate their fellow creatures from
the lowest depths of misery and disgrace without wish
Ing that they might succeed lie spoke ALSO of the at
racks which had been made upon reputation with the
view of running him, but said he able TO vindcate
himself"
