WIZARDS Ice BoAT.--This invention is
daily expected at Prairie du Chen to
make its trial trip. The one constructed
last winter was so hastily built, and con
sequently is so imperfect that twas deem
ed inexpedient TO make trial with it,
The one now on its way TO the Mississippi
has been tested and found to work salts
factorily.
We have known Mr.. Wizard consid-
cradle length of time, and are confident
that his undertaking will prove successful.
His great inventive genius, mechanical
talent and indomitable perseverance will
accomplish much, when others would des-
pair of success. We believe that in few
days the valley of the Mississippi will 10
sound to the screams of the steam whis-
tie of the ice-boat and travellers will glide
smoothly and safely over Tho frozen sur
face of the mighty "Father of Waters"

ton preacher in northern Ohio, who en-
tertains his pious flock every Sunday
morning with a piteous account of the
cruelties inflicted by Southern masters on
their slaves, was lately. fined five dollars
for inhumanly whipping little orphan
boy he had taken from New York to
raise. The boy, says the Enquirer, had
loaned a neighbor whip--a simple
leather string tied on stick-on the dis
covery of which, tho kind-hearted, geno-
rous soul, who weeps at the fables of
Southern atrocities, took the lad TO the
barn, and whipped him with cowhide,
till his back and legs were completely
raw. The noise of the whip, and the
shrieks of the little sufferer, brought the
neighbors to his assistance, and delivered
the lamb for the time, from the wolf in
