A Thrilling Scene---A Skiff with Ten
Persons Swept Away by Ice.

On Monday evening, nine men and and fe-
male attempted to cross the Ohio river, at Gin
cnnati, in skill Notwithstanding they were
warned of the peril, on account of the heavy
floating ice. The Enquirer thus describes their
venture, the rescue of nine of them, and the
death of the other:-
UWhen in the neighborhood of the abut-
ment to the suspension bridge the skitf was
struck by some heavy ice, and in a moment
more firmly fastened in a gorge. The row
locks and oars were covered with ice, which
prevented them from being used to much pur-
pose, and the occupants of the skiff were so
paralyzed BY sudden fear that they could do
nothing to relieve themselves from their dan
gerous condition.
Meantime the boat, which was not yet far
out in the stream, was slowly but surely DRIFT
ing down. A few persons, who had watched
the perious adventure from the ferry float be-
low, endeavored to arrest the boat as it swept
by and partially succeeded in doing so. Seven
of thr men and the woman were rescued with
considerable difficulty. The ninth man, the
woman's husband, in endeavoring to gain the
float, fell back in the river and disappeared
from view, amid the almost heart-rending
screams of his almost distracted wife. a mo-
mont after, however, he appeared on the sur
face, struggling manfully for life. The cur
rent was strong and the ice sharp and cutting,
but being ain expert swimmer, lie kept himself
above water, and succeeded in making n land
ing near the foot of Western row, about four
squares further down. Asmght be supposed,
he was almost exhausted on reaching the Shore
and had he remained in the river five Minutes
longer he would certainly have persisted The
ioy of that wife on seeing her husband, who,
n moment before, had been struggling in the
Jaws of death can be more easily imagined
than described.
Before the last man in the skiff could be res
cued il broke loose from its fastening and was
rapidly swept away with its solitary occupant
Tie poor fellow uttered no cry-gave no sig
nal of distress-Ma no effort to extricate
himself from what seemed inevitable DEATH
The sight of his companion struggling in the
chilly waves--the crashing sound of the ice
the biting temperature of the atmosphere-the
bleak, wintry sky overhead, studded with
stars, which,
"Like the eyes of wolves glared at him"
seemed TO have ON him an overpowcring effect
NIotonlcss as statue he stood, with folded
arms, looking at the dim outline of the shore
MS il slowly receded from view, and taking
what he believed TO be n last view of eatth.-
On, on he was swept by the resistless current,
his condition every moment becoming more
and more critical. Along he moved down the
dark river-to him, perhaps, the river of death
which ere morning might empty into that
unknown sea that washes the boundaries OF
another world.

SLEgP.-"B Blessings on his head" exclaimed
the philosophical Sancho "who first invented
Sleep Glorious invention Eternal, uni
yersal patent-right How do thy comforts de-
send upon the weary and toil-w0rn-thep poor
and the rich-the sick and the healthful. How,
upon the eye-lids of each and all, fall thy in
huences like the dews of evening upon the clo-
sing flowers Oh, there is n richness in the
Gift of sleep-a wealth which he alone can
prize, who, from some affection of mind or
body, has lost its possession See the con-
science stricken wretch tossing on his pallet OF
straw, and clanking the chains which bind him
to his dungeon A heavier chain is fastened
on his soul-a chain which keeps him from the
world of Sleep or, If its links do but lengthen,
and he enters that world, imagination peoples
il with gorgeous hydras, and chimeras dire"
He sees nothing of those pure beings that hover
round the sleep of the innocent-those spirits
which come to him, in that hour, as from the
Threshold of heaven, reckoning him on to its
golden oates He hears not the well-remem-
bered voices of friends, of parents and kindred
who now slumber peacefully in the grave
Their voices if heard, are heard only to up
braid him-their forms rise before him to
shrink Immediately from his presence What
a contrast to this scene is the sleep of the in
nocent The sleep of that picture Of inno-
cence, an infant bearing, as it always appears
to, the fresh touches of the Creators hand, and
being all over redolent of Heaven. View it as
it slumbers peacefully in its cradle-its bosom
scarce moving its coyering-its breath gentle
and noseless as the falling of the dew-its
eyes closed calmly and serenely-its counte-
nance touched with pleasantness of express
sion, as if the first glimmerings of reason were
dawning on its mind. You may almost fancy
it an angel, so pure, so beautiful, and heavenly

Too Much ANxIETy,-0fthe causes ofdisease
anxiety of mind is one of the most frequent and
important. When we walk the streets of large
commercial towns, we can scarcely fail to re-
mark the hurried gait and careworn features OF
the well-dressed passengers. Some young men,
indeed, we may see with countenances possess
ing natural cheerfulness ard color; but these
appearances rarely survive the age ofmanhood
Cuvier closes an eloquent description of animal
existence and change with the conclusion that
"life is state of force" What he would urge
in physical view, we may more strongly urge
in moral. Civilization has changed our char
acter Of mind as well as of body We live IN a
state ofunnatural excitement; because it is par
tial, irregular, and excessive. Our muscles
waste for rant of action; our nervous system
is worn out by e1cess of action. Vital energy
is drawn from the operations for which nature
designed it and devoted operations which il
never contemplated,-Th dckeray.

A Swiss journalhas strange story Of wild
girl lately found by a woodman OF Saint Mar
garethem, in the Canton Of Saint Gail. He
discovered her lying wretchedly clad and be-
numbed with cold, under some branches, and
took her to his house. Accordingto her story,
she is the daughter of what are called Heima-
those parents-a sort of pariahs who belong
to no Canton, and although about eighteen
years of age, neither she nor her parents had
ever lived under a roof. Her father not long
since killed her mother in n quarrel, upon
which she left him, and had ever since wan
dered about the woods and mountains living
on wild fruits and vegetables pilfered from
gardens. Toexplain why she had not been dis.
covered sooner, she said that her custom had
been to sleep during the day and prowl about
at night. She knew of no name belonging ia
her parents or herself, and had not the slight
est idea of religion.

ANEW YoRK MEDIUM IN ALABAaA-Dr. u
Redman, a spiritual medium of this city, has
been travelling South, exhibiting his power in
summoning the ghosts of the departed He
got as far down as Montgomery, Alabama,
where, if we credit the account he gives in
his letter to the Spiritual Telegraph of lastweek,
he and his associate, Mr.. Lansing, made great
stir. He says:
aThe circles have been composed OF the
elite of city and country, including many cler-
gymen, members of the Legislature (now in
SESSION. with fair proportion of the more I'M
developed portion of the community. So great
has been the excitement that the more conser-
vative church-goers sent in a petition to the
Legislature, asking their interference in our
case. The BILL imposing fine of fifty dollars
per diem on all public sprit-mediums, was
framed and presented to the august body BY
Dir. Mabury, and subsequently, by motion OF
Mr.. Citherall, the amount was Increased to tive
hundred dollars per day the bill passed the
House like whirlwind and the rules suspend
ed to send it directly to the Senate, where 1t
also passed withouta thought. The only neg
alive votes were from members who had at
tended our circles.n-N \. Post.

A MATRIMoNIAL DIsAproINTMENT.-Ac curious
termination of an intended marriage took
place at Halifax on Sunday last. On that day,
Henry Greavcs, of Mount Tabor, and Mary
Eitchell of Gbbet street. in that town, had ar
ranged to be married at the parish church,
The wedding party met before the ceremony at
the spotted Cow Inn, in Gibbet street, and pro-
,eeded thence towards the church. When
they had arrived at an inn named the Ring OF
Bells the bride found fault with her intended
husband for not having his shoes clean. They,
however, still pursued the journey, but so
shocked was she on going along the aisle Of the
church in company with the dirty boots, that
she renewed her complaints, and, setting at de-
fianceall remonstrance, leftthe church and reiu-
sed tobe married. Dinner had beenprovided for
sixteen, and tea for twenty. After the return
Of the wedding party, the proportion Of ex-
penses to be borne by each party, formed a
further topic of dispute. The disappointed
bridegroom refused to pay anything unles he
Ind the ring, which cost him l0s., returned
and then declined to contribute more than one
half The final issue will probably have to be
decided in court of justice.
