The ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS q week past
the communication between this village and the Can
ada shore, by the ice-bndge has been uninterrupted.
The large body of ice which had formed across the
ferry and far above week ago has become thicker,
and is consequently safer for pedestrians. The ice
probably from twenty to thirty feet thick, and per
baps more. The crossing IL perfectly safe, and the
view which can now be obtained of the cataract u
unsurpassed. Such opportunity as Is now present.
ed for obtaining front view of the Falls rarely
cur. Previous to Saturday ice bad formed up 70
Goat Island, and the landing could be made from be
Canada side. This is circumstance Of very rare oc-
curreDce. We are informed that such thing has not
happened for the last twenty or twenty-five years.
This fact lends romantic character 10 adventure

Thursday Of last week. These gentlemen the

stairs they crossed TO the Canada shore and thence
struck directly back Goat Island and ascended the
Biddle Staircase Just before the party reached the
island they discovered an iceberg coming down
from near the Horseshoe Falls. They Judged il 10

thick. Standing they were On neck Of ice be-
tween the American Fall and the approaching ice

resu OF the conclusion. The monster struck, ar
rested in bis downward career, and made large al
dtion TO the field on which they stood. Since then
many Others have gone over the ground" but on
Saturday the ice broke away near the Island SINCE

FATE OF THE MuRDERERS or LoyEJoY.-A cor
respondent of The RaveHaa Democrat, writing from
Alton, Illinois, says:
An old and Intelligent citizen formerly OF the East,
who was present at the death Of Loveoy, stated to
me that as he was acquainted with the two men who
shot him. he resolved to mark their after history The
first a Dr. Beall, went TO Texas, was taken by the
indians and chopped TO pieces and divided among the
tribes The other man, by the name Of Jcnningsi
went TO New Orleans, and in affray in gambling
house was cut to pieces with bowie-knife. Thus
persisted the miserable murderes of Loveloy-
"Tbe fall of Loveioy the death-blow to the
growth and prosperity Of Alton. Many business men
became Disguised, and abandoned the place, and
others who were seeking homes and business places in
the West passed it. Thus, for more than twelve years
Alton was hiss and byword and it only very re-
Gently that it has exhibited signs of life aud growth
II is fixed fact in the minds of the people Of Alton
that no such occurrence would be permitted TO trans
pre in their midst again.

AGRICULTURAL.

TIE Prairis Farm, which has been Published
monthly at Chicago for sixteen years has been changed
10 q weekly, in sire and form resembling The OHIO
Farmer, or Ne~-Engiasd Farmer, and Is wei printed
and edited by John A. Kennicott, Charles Belts and
c. d. Bragdon. The publication is continued byJohn
s. Wright the originator Of the paper and its sppro-
pirate name.
We see the editors give our cattle market report,
but do not give that Of Chicago, which we think
mi.take. Every sort of local news is interesting a.
home and abroad.

quote the following as the Chicago rates, Jan. 3:

FOR SETTLERS IN KASsAs-SsEDIso PRARiE-For
land much trodden by cattle commence IN March, and
cow upon the sod small quantities of timothy, clover
and red-top seed repeating it every year. In four
years, without additional labor, you will have good
pasturage of domestic grass, which you will need very
much since the prairie grass worthless for feed after
the first Frost Should you wish to seed down plowed
land wait until the sod is perfectly redueedi then put
on, of timothy and redtop, each six quarts, and OF
clover from four TO six pounds.
SoMx PpMrKINs-A Mr.. Looney OF Root River,
Minnesota raised last Summer, seventy pumpkins--s
full cart-oad-from one sesd. He also raised rom
seventy acres. four thousand bushels of corn. We
think there is no danger of his family wanting corn
bread and pumpkin pies this Winter.
