ICE BOAT FOR THE NORTHERN
RIVERS.

For the last two years, Mr.. Norman
Wizard, of GAINESVILLE, Wis, has been en-
gagged in perfecting plan for an ice boat
to be propelled by steam, to navigate our
northern rivers. During the past win
ter, Mr.. w. has been in New York, I'D,
by the aid of some Of the largest capital
lists in that city, has constructed an ice
boat, which is now being put together at
Prairie du Chen. In two or three weeks
it is expected that all will be ready for
the trial trip up the Mississippi. The
boat is built of iron, and is seyenty-two
feet long by twelve feet broad, with fiat
bottom, and two keels running the whole
length. If it breaks through the ice or
encouters an air-hole machinery is pre-
pared which, in a few minutes, puts it
again on the ice ready for onward pro
gress. The driving wheel is near the
stern, and the inventor calculates the or
dinery speed on the ice at twenty to for
ty miles an hour, and, with clear solid ice,
he believes his vessel can easily be made
to attain speed of eighty miles. The
cabin is twelve by forty feet, and the ca
pacity of the boat is rated at one hun
dred passengers, and five tons of freight.
The entire boat, when loaded with pas
sengers and cargo, is calculated to weigh
thirty-two tons. The Milwaukee and
Mississippi Railroad have furnished the
motive power to test the value of the in
vention. Every possible effort is being
made to make the test during the next
few weeks, and, if successful, the New
York capitalists will at once contract for
eighteen boats of SIMILAR character and
--ss''atm'ation. 10 be ready for business as
CUTTING GRAPEs.-For the rortnoru
and Middle States, the present is a good
month for cutting scions. fit is intended
to propagate currant bushes or guoseber-
ries, take cuttings now before the sap
starts, and bury them in sand in the eel
lar. And so, if gratis are wanted of the
apple or pear or cherry, let them be got
soon, and either buried in the garden in
q dry place, or, what is better, be taken
into the cellar and covered with damp
sand or moss or saw-dust. What is need
ed is to keep them just damp enough to
prevent their shriveling, and cold enough
to prevent the buds starting before they
are wanted in thespring. In cutting scions,
remember that only the wood of the last
seasons growth is of any use, and that it
should be plump and healthy. After be-
ing gathered tic each sort in n bundle by
itself, and attach label to it, SO that no
mistake shall occur through forgetfnlncss
of names or mixture of sorts. Between
this time and spring, overhaul the bun
dies once or twice, to see that they arc in
good state of preservation.
