Thrilling Adventure--A Party Carried
off into Saginaw Bay upon a Cake
of Ice.

From the Saginaw Courier, Feb 2.
On Monday party of gentlemen, con-
sisting of John Sharp, lighthouse keeper,)
Capt. Duell, L. Jewell, J. Hudson, Ben
Trombley and others, visited the Bay for
the purpose of seeing the Indians and others
fish for trout. About two o'clock some of
the party observed singular motion of the
ice-it appeared there was strong current
in the water-but an examination dis
closed the fact that the ice upon which they
were standing had parted between them
and the shore, and that they were rapidly
floating into Lake Huron. They at once
put their horses in motion, to find some
point where they could get to the main land,
but could find no such place in the
mean time they were going very rap
idly, the wind blowing gale from the shore.
Their situation was very dangerous, both
as regards the danger of the breaking up of
the ice upon which they were, and the severe
cold. Great excitement existed at Bay
City, among the inhabitants generally, and
many plans for their relief were talked of
and canvassed. James Frazer, ESQ.,, gen.
erously offered to pay for fish boat and for
hands to go to their rescue, but nothing
finally was done. They foated some four
teen miles, when one end of the ice for
tunately grounded on Squaw Point. They
made rush for the shore, after first getting
off their horses and sleighs. The ice was
much broken, and they had to travel some
distance over separate cakes to reach the
shore.
The Indians got across on the other side
of the Bay, near Kawkawlin, about dark.
Some parties who started about dark to
search for them, got lost in furry of snow
and had much difiulty in getting home.
The ride was "free gratis for nothing"

a Girl Four Years of Age Murdered by
a Boy of Fifteen.

A boy named Friend Horton, aged fifteen
years, is confined in the Troy Jail on the
charge of numbering Martha Jane Horton,
a child of about four years of age, by pound
ing her with stick and stamping upon her
with his feet. The parties lived at Troy,
N. Y, in the neighborhood known as "Oak
Hill," in the family of Mr.. Marvin Wheeler
The murdered child was an orphan, and was
left by the family, on Friday afternoon, in
the house with young Horton and her sister
Lucinda, girl seven years of age. During
the absence of Mrs. Wheeler, neighbor
called and found Martha Jane very low,
speechless and pulseless. The child died the
same evening. Mrs. Wheeler swears that
she found the child covered with bruises
when she came back, and that there were
none upon her person when she left. An
inquest was held, and verdict was rendered
that the deceased came to her death by vic.
lence at the hands of Friend Hornton,
whereupon Hornton was arrested and lodged
in the Troy Jail.

TEACH THE WOMEN TO SAvE.-There's
the secret. A saving woman at the head
of family is the best savings bank yet
established that receives deposits daily
and hourly, with no costly machinery to
manage it. The idea of saving is pleasant
one, and if the women would imbibe it once,
they would cultivate and adhere to it, and
thus many when they were not aware of it,,
would be laying the foundation for com
petence, security in stormy time, and
shelter in rainy day. The womaL who
sees to her own house has large field to
save in, and the best way to comprehend it,
is for her to keep an account of current ex-
penses. Probably not one wife in ten, has
an idea of the expenditure of herself or
family. Where from one to two thousand
dollars is expended annually there is a
chance to save something, if the attempt is
only made. Let the housewife take the idea
act upon it-and strive over it-and she
will save many dollars-perhaps hundreds
where before she thought it impossible.
This is duty, not a promoting Of avarice-
a moral obligation that rests upon all-up-
on the women as we'll as the men but
it is duty, we are sorry to say, that is
cultivated very little, even by those who
preach the most, and regard themselves as
examples in most matters. "Teach the
women to save,' is good enough maxim
to be inserted in the next edition of I" Poor
Richards Almanac"

German Customs.

The Cincinnati Gazette has letter from
an American in Berlin, in which the writer
says:
The Germans have great many pretty,
simple ways, which are very pleasing, and
which we shall, by and by, adopt, just
as we are beginning to adopt their gold and
silver and tin weddings. Yesterday hap.
pened in at family where the father was
celebrating his birthday. To that family
the day had great character and dignity,
and all its hours commemorated, directly or
indirectly, the joyful event that made ia.
mily glad. The hearty greeting and good
wishes, and loud kissings of the morning, the
accumulating presents for papa through the
day, the flowers which graced the windows
and tables, and all available places, choice
bouquets for November, the preparations,
for the party in the evening, and the party
itself, all so eagerly done and so joyfuly,
that one S heart could not fail to be drawn
out in behalf Of a people so loving and sim.
pie in the relations of the family. The
daughter is to be married in a few days, and
you have no idea of the extent of the prepa
rations now going on. AS genuine Ger
man family of the first respectability has its
washing done only once in six months, of
course there are immense stocks of linen to
be got ready, and towels are numbered by
scores OF dozens, and good share of the
family wealth is expended in this direc.
tion. This daughter of whom I spoke,
whose father is good well to.do tailor, will
spend nearly thousand dollars upon the
mere household equipments, independent of
furniture. The list of articles l had, but
have it unfortunately put by at this moment.
1t would amaze some of the American ma,
irons who may read this letter. These young
brides expectant, make not only preparation
for themselves, but for any little stranger
who may happen in upon them at no distant
day. A very rational proceeding, certainly,
but one quite alien to American notions, and
which do not think will be very speedily
introduced among US.
| find that the father has control over his
sens marriage willie the son lives A young
man who should postpone marriage to the
respectfully matured age of forty, would still
not be independent of his fathers will, if the
father were opposed to bis choice. The ia
ther must be consulted, even when widower
marres second time. A gentleman of my
acquaintance wished to marry, and his father
was so far away that it was found difficult
to consult him, and so our Ambassador to
Prussia, Governor Wright, invited him to
be married in his room, on american sol" )"
and be accordingly was married at the rooms
of our Legation. Still, l cannot find that
this restriction does any practical good. 1t
favors treaty marriages, instead of love mar
riages, and treaty marriages are the bane of
a nations life.

PROPORTIONS OF THE HUMAN FIGURE.--
The proportion of the human figure are
strictly mathematical. The whole figure
is six times the length of the foot. Whether
the form be slender or plumb, this rule holds
good. Any deviation from it is departure
from the highest beauty of proportion. The
Greeks make all their statues according to
this rule. The face, from the highest point
of the forhead where the hair begins, to the
end of the chin, is one tenth of the whole
stature. The hand, from the wrist to the
end of the middle finger, is the same The
chest is fourth, and from the nipples to the
top of the head is the same. From the top
ofthe chest to the highest point of the for>
head is a seventh. If the length of the face,
from the roots of the hair to the chin, be di-
vided into three equal parts, the first divi-
sion determinates the point where the eye.
brows meet and the second, the place of the
nostrils. The navel is the central point of
she human body, and if man should lie On
his back with his arms extended, the peri
phery of the circle which might be described
around him, with the navel for its centre,
would touch the extremities of his hands and
feet. The height from the feet to the top of
the head, is the same as the distance from
the extremities of the other when the arms
are extended. These are the general mea-
sures of the species.

Without pretending to any special knowl-
edgea bout the great prize fght,of which all
sporting men are talking, we may mention
that it is to take place on the 10th of April,
and that it will be fought privately, though,
not perhaps confdentially, not very far from
Mildenhall, little village town in Suffolk,
on the eastern counties line of railway. Mr..
Smiles, the secretary of the Southeastern
railway, was applied to, if our information
be correct, for special train along his line,
but as might have been expected, the con.
cession has been refused. The shareholders
will probably indorse this decision with their
approval at their approaching half-yearly
meeting in the event of the question being
raised. The assailants in the forthcoming
battle are Tom Sayers, " the champion Of
England" and young fellow who is called
the Benicia Boy" an American, who has
recently arrived in this country for tie pur-
pose of fighting anybody who wishes to
distinguish himself pugilistically, especially
{" the champion of England" from whom he
wants to get "the belt" in order to take it
across the Atlantic. Tom Sayers the
present champion, is, according to common
rumor, small man, at the somewhat mature
age of 38. He may, therefore, expect some
rough treatment from a yOungster of %,
who fought the American champion, but
without success. Tom Sayers, it appears,
followed the honorable profession of brick
layer until he got taste for fighting, and
when he got little cup" in the world had
the presumption to challenge Ben Caunt,
who had the belt" The magistrates of
Middlesex, with a propriety of conduct
which cannot be too highly commended, told
Ben that he might do one of two things:
l. That he might fight, and not get his
license for his public house in St. Martins
lane and, 2. That he might not fight, and
have his license continued. The valiant
man Of pugilistic fame preferred his license
to his fists, and Tom Sayers became cham.
pion of England without fight. Now a
veritable Yankee challenges him, and the
bets are in favor of "our COUSIN" There
is rumor in sporting circles that the
"roughs will not allow the American to
win, and that ifhe should get the advantage
there will be wrangle with view to de-
prive him of his honors. Without caring
much for the result-which, it will be ad-
mitted without much doubt, will not affect
our national interests-it may be hoped that
Tom Sayers and young Benicia will
have fair play. We shall not promise to
give the result of the fight in our second
edition of the 10th of April, although it is
more than probable that the issue of the
battle will appear in our late columns of
that date.

The Gambling Hells Of Washington

A correspondent of the Hartford Post
thus speaks OF the gambling hells Of Wash
ington:
The gamblers, it is said, have suffered
severely by the scarcity of money here, and
several we'll known establishments are re-
ported as nearly bankrupt. There are about
forty of these hells,' mostly on Pennsylva-
MIA Avenue, in the vicinity of the National
Hotel, although 10. Hall (who succeeded
Pendleton) has fitted up house near Will
lard's. Supper tables are set nightly at
all of them, good fare and choice wines at,
tracing many, who are afterwards tempted
to play. Of course the bank has great
chances in its favor, or these establishments
could not be supported, and this is generally
known. But fascination for the excite
ment, with hope of run of good luck,
prompts hundreds to hazard more or less.
Strange stories are told of those afflicted
with this sad mania of indulging in one OF
the worst of vices A prominent politician,
now here, when appointed minister to a
foreign court, about ten years since, actu-
ally lost his outfit and first quarters sala.
ry, the very day on which be drew it from
the Treasury, and had hard work to borrow
enough money to leave the country with. A
Senator, more lucky, once won over eight
thousand dollars in single night; and sim
liar tales of gain and of loss are told about
men who occupy high position in political
life. 1t is to be regretted that some legis,
lation cannot be devised by which these foul
excrescences on life, at the national metrop
oils, can be cut off.

HYMN TO THE UNION.

From the N. Y Evening Post. gE
Hail to thee, North!
Whose union of great mountains links great
How the quick brain Of thy invention shakes
The smoking wales with industry, and breaks
Resisting soils with the high strength which
Glory go forth!
Hail to thee, North!
Hail to thee, South
Luxurious Empress OF that tender CLINE
Where hospitality, in pride OF prime,
Walks amid milky cotton and the lime,
And the Great River speaketh to all time
From her vast mouth.
Hail to thee, South!
Hail to thee, East
Strong in the commerce of thy thrifty hands,
Who, clasping all the hands of all the lands
Across subservient oceans, proudly stands
As one who, in protecting, best commands
Greatest and least.
Hail to thee, East
Hail to thee West
Thou romping, esthearted prairie child,
Scarce nalf.redeemed from out thy native wild,
How hath thy plenty distant worlds beguiled,
To reap the golden grain which Heaven hath
On thy broad breast!
Hail to thee, West!
Hail all the land
Great in the glory from thy mother caught,
Great in the freedom thy own hands have
wrought,
Great in the enterprise thy needs have taught,
Great in the individual right of thought;
While these shall stand,
All hail, great land
All hail, great land
Yet who foretell how great, while underlie
Impending ills, thyself canst best descry?
When these thy soaring eagles shall defy,
Behold, no other land beneath the sky
Greater shall stand
Than thou, great land
