cinnati Gazette of last Tuesday, 2sd, says:
"The river continues to recede rapidly hav-
ing fallen about sixteen inches since our
last report, and is. full of heavy floating ice.
The weather continues intensely cold, and
if it does not moderate within forty eight
hours the Ohio river will b. frozen over
solid. Only two steamers left port yester.
day-the Telegraph, for Louisville. and the
Forest Queen, for Madison. The Kentucky
started at noon for Portsmouth,, with fiue
trip OF freight ana passengers, but after
working her away through the ice to about
twelve miles above this city, she found she
could proceed no further. and was compel.
led to return and abandon her trip. M
steamers vii! leave port until the weather
moderates, and navigation on the Ohio above
the Falls is suspended. About an inch o.
snow fell on Sunday night. The Coying.
Ton and Newport ferry boats hsve hard
time making their trips, the ice being in
broad cakes, extending nearly across the
river"
This Mississippi is closed at every poinl
aimust from st. Paul to st. Louis. The
river was full Of running ice At St. Loui,
last Wednesday, and probably closed tina,

A CuaIosiTY.--A few weeks ago, Char
les Schoch Of New Philadelphia, o., was
cutting into large log, when his axe struck
cannon leaden-slug, weighing 81 lbs.
which was imbedded in solid wood about
i've or six inches from the surface. The
tree from which this slug was taken prev
in the river bottom about two miles from
that town, and near where Gen. Wayne
and bis army encamped during the summer
OF 1884. when he marched to the North.
West Territory TO attack the Mans Indi-
ans. The probability is, that it was fred
from one Of his cannons, and lay embedded
for more than half century.

on arriving at Davenport, he found tina,
there had been but tsoo trains from Dspe,,.

stories, and that stories grow greater BY
travelling. Will the Burlington Gazette
please be SO generous as to inform its read
srs, that only one day this pinser has The
train failed to pass from Davenport to lows

road are just as ridicuIously absurd az the
one given in the extract above. We are

SHAT cAxrLH KLINE Is yERY BAD MAN"
Judge Elliott. (every man 10 KANSAS who
ever had any legal experience, either as
Pettifoeger, constable, or Justice Of Peace.
is called Judse) one Of the Grand Jury at
Lecompton, that found bill against tie
Free State prisoners, was telling Mr.. Gra-
ham, few days since, about Capt. Kline.
He said:
That Capt. Kline is very bad man. Mr..
Graham. Why, party Of thirty nine of Us
set out 10 take him, and sitter marching al.
night we camped. We thought he was about
forty miles OF, and we meant 10 lay still all
day, and march on him the next night, and
take him BY surprise; but the first thing We
knew. he had the impudence TO come right
into our camp with only thirteen Of his men
and his men all drew their feyolyers on US,
Ar. Graham, while we we're peaceably AT
meas. They fired on ,,s. We run. but they
kept right on firing, and the more we run
they Aore they fired ON ps. Oh, that Cap
tain Kline is very bad man, Mr.. Graham
he'd just AS lief shoot man as not.
Judge Elliot, from his personal experience
OF Captain Kline, wa. highly competent to
Sit on The Grand Jury that found bill
against him.
BRAVE RoY.
AT the battle of Hickory Point the pro-
slavery men were fortified in blacksmith
shop, which the Free State men attacked
from under the cover OF some timber. A
Free State boy, between thirteen and four
,een years Of age, advanced to midway be-
tween the Two parties, and there, under
cover OF small tree whiei, partly protected
his body, delibera'eiy fred thirteen rounds
on the blacksmith shop from his Sharp
ride.
Evans, the blacksmith, Who commanded
the pro.slayery forces, detailed three greas
buriy Missourians, and sent them gu; spe-
cially to shoot down the brave boy. The
poor little fellow fell. badly wounded bul
not dead, as Evans supposed. After the
battle he was taken up by his comrades
and 10 now in the spital at Lawrence.
