THE MISSISSIPPI FREEZING OVER.

The Mississippi was frozen over at Prairie da Chen
or Thursday and navigation may be considered ABOUT
over.
From the Dubuque Tribune.
The river continues very full Of ice. The channsl
on this tide is comparatively clear, but the opposite
tide of the river is blocked up firmly for more than
fifty feet The ferry boat remains at her moorlrgs in
the slough and did not attempt to make trip yester-
day The OILY means of co nnunication between this
city and Duneith is by way of SIX IFS of which there
ale a great abundance. The rates charged by the
owneIs of these crafts vary from fifty cents to two dol
lars passenger according to the length OF the purse
the apparent greenness of the appi ant tor ernsgs
across this icy Styx. Tie passage is not unaocon-
panied by Danger and is rather a novel and exciting
event.
The ice is running rapidly and az it comns down in
great masses, much dextery ls required to prevent
the skfs from being crushed. Some Of the lees con-
scientous Of the feymen landed their passengers on
the leland, and then required them to pay dollar
more to be TAX to the main shore. The nails on
the railroads sady deranged, all the trains being
out of connection. II vii require some days before
matters all get straight again, and In the mean time,
patience is the bes. remedy.

THE MONONGAHELA BELLE EXPLOSION.

From The LouisrRie Coulter.
Our citizens were astouuded this evening by tho
intelligence that the Monographs Belle, Sun All
steamboat running between Columbus and the Coal
Mines, had blown up.
The Monopgahela Belle ia owned by Wm Il John
Nelson of Hickman. When at about noon OF to-day,
Saturday. as she was ascending the river qulsty ana
regardless of danger, her stabosrd boiler EXPLODED
blowing John Nelson from the hurricane deck do~rto
the fore part of the lower deck badly brusipg and
ecaldng him. He was struck just above the eye oy
piece Of iron kettle from the cook room, leaving an
Ineligible impression.
The cook was blown through the cook-room into
the river and was rescued from wstery grave by the
e.boat. ,,..u-
Two OF the fremen white men were so dreadfally
fealded and blackened thai it was difficult for some
tine 10 determine whether they were white or black
W. Nelson who was on the wheel, escaped unnurt
The B Belle, which was near, promptly went 70 her
aid the officers rendering every assistance in their
power to render their condition comfortable.
The cook and fremen were tsken on board OF the
f. III. Fairchid, lying at Columbus, and carried on
to the hospital at Paducah.
Mr. n elson returned 10 Hickman.
The accident is supposed to have been occaslohea
by the water in the boilers getting too low.
The loss will be about two thousand dollars, the
fore cabin, pilot house, ard chnneys having been
blown away.
The accident occurred three miles from Columbus,
near the chalk banks.

Each successive sea now broke over the steamer,
the water rose in the hold the fes were put out, aud
she lay at the mercy Of the elements. All haods pas
