The doctor was made captive & drawn into

name. In this hope he was sadly Ii<ap-
pointed, for when he proposed. tie widow
wiped her eyes, said that she should always
esteem him IA n f,icnd, but she couldn't
think of marriage. All hope was given up
and he tried 10 bar.ish the image of the viii

expense, az, she Ind it.

4 Loss OF THREE THOUSAND LIVES
Near Taganrog, OH the sea Of Azof, II ca
tastrophe occurred, about the beginning of
February last, which involved loss of life
unparalleled except by memorable Garth
quakCs or volcanic eruptions. 1t appears
that some three thousand inhabitants Of
Taganrog, relying upon the promise of fair
weather made by tho genial atmosphere
and the cloudless sky. proceeded to tue a.
zofT sea to indulge in the sport of fishing
beneath the icc-a favoritc pastimc in that
region. The atmosphere continuing serene
the party were lulled into Il feeling Of Sc
curity. and vcnturcd further than usual on
the ice in the hope Of obtaining good haul.
Suddenly breeze sprung up from the east
which, growing bois:crous by degrees whirl-
cd the loose snow and fine PARTICLES of ice
in all directions, and before long succeeded
in de.achiDg the ice from the Shore
The large ccfeld then broke into numerous
pieces, which, with their terrified and help
Joss bupan freight, ,driftcd towards the open
sea. No assistance could be rendered the
unhappy beings by their frantic relatives
aud friends on shore, and within two hours
not sign Of life was visible on the sur.
face Of the sea. On the following day a
cake Of ice driftcd in shore from which were
five Of the unfortunates-thrcc Of them
dead, and the other two nu,ub and insensi-
bic. The two lattcr-a girl and an old
mau-werc restored by means of the usual
appliances, the girl however, survived but
few hours the nan recovered, but lost
the use of his tonguc-a consequence, prob
ably, of the fright caused by the scene he
has passed through. lie prepared a writ

fearful night on the Azof.
