agination, and as it died ftfally away
in the distance, the space surround
ing them seemed extended almost t.
{ infinity. The sky at length was
gradually covered by the vapors ri
sing as if from the edges ofthe circle
of earth; a veil of dull and hazy
!; white overspread the heavens and
obscured the stars; and dim round
spot of watery brightness was the on
Ily indication Of the site Of the moon
by which alone they could now steer
! their course.
/ "a rapid thaw had come on; theil
skates sunk deeper and deeper into
the ice at every sweep; and atlast,
the waterigathering upon the surface
as it was,agitatedby the nightwind
th hat had now risen, assumed the ap-
pdarance Of the sea. The wind in
creased; the sky grew blaeker and
blacker; their footing became more
spongy and insecure; they plunged al
mbst to the knee; the ice groaned and
and cracked beneath them Every
on looked upon himself as lost; and
the horrors Of fate hitherto untold
in story, and appearing to belong nei-
ther to the fortunes of the land nor
of the sea, appalled, the boldest imag-
ination.
'At length a faint twinking light
jappeared in the distance, sometimes
! Sc en and sometimes lost in the vary
ing atmosphere; and they had the sat-
isflction, such as it was, of at least
knowing the relative bearings of the
| pla ace on which they were Ibout to
perish. The light proceeded from a
strong fort in the enemy's hands
impregnable without cannon; and
what added bitterness to the[ IT mise
ry was the knowledge that beyond
this fort was dixie, which in |all prob
ability. afforded path, however mar
row and muddy, by which tn by could
have returned to Utrecht. The fort,
however, was the gate to this avenue
of safety; and even if they had pos
sessed the requisite means Of siege,
if It was defended for a single day,
they woula either sink UNDER the wa
ter in the continuance of the thaw,
or perish miserably through cold and
fatigue. But anything was better
than inaction. The water creeping
insidiously around them was a dead
lier enemy than stone walls or can
non-shot; and they determl lned at
least to make a rush upon the Iimmov-
able masonry of the fort, al hd pro-
woke the fire of its defenders. 1t is
impossible to account for the result.
ItImay have been that the sight Of
so large a body ofmen rushing il up
on them, as II from the onen sea,
tn eir numbers multiplied, and even
tn eir individual forms distorted and
nn@gnified in tn E lpist, struck a panic
terror into the hearts of the garrison;
WI lille this may have been Increased
by the shouts of courage or despair,
DO pming wildly over the icy waste,
and mingling like the voices of de-
mons with the rising wind But
ho owever it was, the gates Of the fort
opened at their approach, and the-4E
helpless and half frozen Adventures

A BEAR SToRY-Some months
since sporting gentlman, well known
in this city by the soubriquet Of
Shingles, land celebrated for all sorts
Of eccentric drollery-captured a
young bear somewhere in st Clair
county, and brought it to this city as
a present for friend. Upon his
arrival at the dock, Shingles char
tered cab in which he seated himself
with his prisoner. This method of
conveyance being a somewhat novel
one to Bruin, he made a desperate
effort to escape and commenced a
pretty serious demonstration upon
Shingles, who rather suddenly found
himself in an interesting situati ON.
The bear growled, scratched and bit,
and Shi ingles disliking to ''holl er"
reiorted in manner very similar.
When the cab reached the National,
Shingles had evidently the worst of
it,and emerged from the conveyance
in most ludicrously dilapidated
condition. The bear had sufferedsome
however, one eve having been pretty
effeetually closed. Shingles remark
ed that it was very rough riding,
that as soon as the bear showed fight,
he knew that be had made a amisdeal,
and that the "Shingles family" were
in tight place; ''but d---n it, said
he, Il couldn't lay down my hand for
one bear Detroit Free Press.

The PUBLIC LANp-The w as

ington correspondent of the New
York Journal Of Commerce says
that athe subject of the public lands
viii receive much attention at this
session. The Southern States, and
indeed all the old States will put in
for their share Of the public domain.
As the land is no longer source OF
general revenue, and is likely to be
absorbed By various projects for in
ternal improvements in the new
States, donations, and bounties, the
old States will demand a fair share
Mr. Meade, Of Virginia, brough,

ding the lands among the States, re-
serving a portionfpr the extinguish-
ment ofthe public debt"
