its fruits of disorganization and discOur-

The Ice Crop of the East.

The supply of ice for the coming sea-
son will be exceedingly limited. Altho'
up to the middle of February no proper
ton of the ice crop had been cut, still
those Immediately interested in the ice
business in this city did not lose their
confidence in the weather, and contin.
ued 10 believe that very "cold snap
would make its advent before the month
of March arrived, and cover the lakes
and ponds, all over the country, with
the very best quality of the desired arti-
Gle. Ii is needless for US to remark that
their hopes have been blighted. The
cold weather has not come, and perforce
Of logic the good ice has not made its ap-
pearance. Gentlemen desirous of gath
ering the usual crop of the necessary ma
terial have made pilgrimages to many
sections of this State in search of ponds,
and lakes and rivers amply appareied in
the thick and shining ice mantle. Their
explorations, however, have been almost
as fruitless as the endeavors of the an
cient alchemist TO discover the philoso-
pliers stone.
A great many small ice houses in West
chester and other adjoining counties have
been partially filled but with an article of
very inferior quality-soft and spongy-
This will answer very well for packing
meats, but it is not clean or sweet enough
for drinking purposes. Every little stream
found covered with ice of even variable
thickness has been visited by the butch
ers and farmers residing near them and
made to yield their shar re toward the de-
sired crop.
Of course, the prices of ice during the
coming summer will be higher than for
any year within the memory of the oldest
inhabitant. They have not yet been reg
ulated, and they will not be permanently
fixed until the actual quantity of ice
gathered is known. 1t is to be hoped,
however, that they will not be too excess
i've, and also that, when the hot and sui
try summer days have come, we shall, as
we have been accustomed to do in years
past, be enabled to quaff the Croton,
icy cold with the particles which Jack
Frost has not failed to bring us from his

Tho Nineteenth Ohio Speaks.

As will be seen by the following letter
to the NahoHiHg Register, the gallant
Nineteenth Ohio Regiment utters its
voice, in unison with the great Army Of
the West, in favor OF n vigorous prosecu-
tion of the war, and of melting out a mer-
tied doom to traitors and conspirators:
MuRFREEsBoRo, TENS., Feb. %, 1868.
Editor Regiaer:-That your readers may
know the sentiments OF the officers and
soldiers of the Nineteenth Regiment, re-
latiye to the all-absorbing topic of the
times, submit the following for publica-
ton:
At meeting of the commissioned Off
GERS of the 10Th Reg't, .. V. l., held Feb.
23d, 1863, Major MANDERsoN presiding.
the following resolution was presented by
Capt. JAMES VI. Nash, and unanimously
adopted.
Rssolee.i, That the officers AMI soldiers
of this regiment are unalterably fixed h
their devotion TO the American Union,
and determined in their opposition to any
and all schemes which may eventuate in
G contraction OF its boundaries +; that they
are ready and willins-as more than one
hard-fOught field crimsOned with the
blood of their comrades, viii demonstrate
to peril their lives in It's defence, until
all its foes, of whatever panty, sect or
creed, North or South, East or West,
shall have met the merited doom of trai-
tors and cOnspiratOrs against the best and
most sacred interests of our common
brotherhood until the blessings of an
UNCoNPRONSEO PEACE shall again visit
every village and hamlet in all our broad
lnd until the operations of its wise and
benifieent laws, and the edIcts of our le-
ultimately chosen authorities, shall meet
with no distractions, but find willing
obedience in a truly loyal and undivided
people, from the Atlantic to the Pacific,
from the utmost extent of cur Southern
borders 70 the Northern line which marks
the present limits OF the great and power
full American Empire.
This resolution was subsequently pre-
sented 10 the whole regiment while on
parade, and was adopted without one dis
senting voice. IN compliance with the
proposition OF our gallant Major. the boys
then made the welkin ring with three
long and hearty cheers.
1t is needless TO enlarge on this subject.
This certainly should be sufficient TO con
vince any unprejudiced mind that we,
soldiers, are willing, ii necessary, to fight
until the last drop of blood is shed to pre-
serve the Union with all its benign insti-
tutions, Yours, 7. L. s.

BURY ME BY THE SEA.
By MRS. c. A. POWERS.

Oh bury me not. in the ehureh-yard lone,
Where the wild winds ii md with the doves low
tone
Where ew. and the cypress. nightly weep.
Der lOv.ri nes, sleeping their last long sleep;
Where = Eillew. bends its reyerent head.
Full low Ger some daisy sprinkled bed,
And kisses the tears from the tender flowers.
That seem but born for celestial bowers
Oh bury me not, where the mourners come.
To breathe sad plants, DER a cherished one.
Or weave their garlands of signs aud tears.
For the stricken hopes. of long long years;
Where the stihed sob. and whispered moan,
Float down through the aisles of the church-yard
And wakes. 'mOng the slumbering echoes deep
An answering sigh for the loved, asleep.
Oh bury me not. 'moug the CITED dead
Where RedLth, her glittering pinions spread,
Where the solemn notes of the organ swell,
Over many a stately citadel;
And gilded turret, and poopled dome,
Ring out with cold. sepulchral tone,
That another Pilgrims gathered home.
Nor yet. would pillow my silent head,
Where the earth never echoes. to human tread;
Where never u sound, breaks the stiffness deep.
Or Wild flowers, closes its bells TO sleep.
But bury me close by the sounding sea,
Beneath the bOughs of the hOpia tree
Where the air is laden. with the breath of flowers
And the songbirds nest. in the sylvan bowers.
May my music be the song of the wave
And my garlands, fresh from the coral cave
Where the Mermaid, mingles her tresses bright.
With the god Of the oceans locks Of white
And the wild waves, dashing along the shore
A requiem murmurs, eyermore.
There the turtle, seeks her evening nest,
Meath the dropping larch trees emerald crest,
And dark eyed maids, their offerings bring,
From storied lands. Of perpetual spring,
Where the orange showers its wealth Of gold,
On the slumbering breast of tAe dark seswold,
Or fragrance breathes, on the balmy air,
Oh bury me there, bury me there.

An Exhumed City.

\ most singular discovery has been
made on the French coast near the mouth
of the Garonne. A town has been dis
covered buried in the sand, and n church

sand. Its original plan shows it to have
been built toward the close of the Roman
Empire, but changes made in it had Civ.

The original paintings, its admirable
sculptured choir and Roman capitals, are
adorned with profuse ornaments, which
are attracting numbers of visitors. This
temple is all that remains of those cities
described by Pliny and Strabo; the Gulf
of Gascony abounds in ruins of these an
cient cities.
1t has been 1900 years since Noviga-
mus, the old capital of Medoc, which
was celebrated city when the Romans
were masters of Gaul, was buried under
the ocean; of all that tract of territory,
the Roche du Cordonon alone is visible.
The remains of Roman roads, the site of
Jupiter's temple, the vestiges of the
Spanish Moors, and the roads to Eleano-
ra du Guyenne, have been rescued from
the sands in the neighborhood of the
long buried city of Soulac. Nowhere
have the erosions of the ocean have been
greater than on the coast of Gascony.

Conversation.

Personalities are often regarded as the
zest, but mostly are the bane of conver-
sation. For experience seems to have
ascertained, or at least usage has deter
mined, that personalities are always
spiced with more or less of malice. But
surely you would not have mixed con-
versation always settle into A discussion
of abstract topics. Commonly speaking,
you might as well feast your guests with
straw, chips and sawdust. Often. too, 1t
happens that, in proportion as the sub
ject of conversation is more abstract, ats
tone becomes harsher and more dogmatl-
cal. And what are women to do? They
whose thoughts always cling to what IS
personal, and seldom mount into the cold
vacant air of speculation, unless they
have something more solid to climb
round. You must admit that there
would be sad dearth of entertainment,
and interest, and life in conversation,
without something of anecdote and story.
Doubtless. But this is very different
from personality. Conversation may
have all that is valuable in it, and all
that is lively and pleasant, without any
thing that comes under the head of per
sonality. The house in which, above all
others l have ever been an inmate of, the
life and the spirit and the joy of cOnver-
sation have been the most intense, is
house in which l hardly ever heard an
evil word uttered against any one.-GUes-

Useful Medical Hints.

If any person swallow any poison what
ever, or has fallen into commissions from
having overloaded the stomach, an instan-
taneous remedy, more efficient and ap-
plicable in large number of cases than
any half-adozen medicines we can now
think OF, is tea-spoonful of common salt
and us much ground mustard, stirred
rapidly in tea-cupful of water, warm or
cold, and swallowed instantly 1t is
scarcely down before it begins TO come
up, bringing with it the remaining con-
tents of the stomach; and lest there be
any remnant of poison, however small,
let the white OF an egg, or a tea-cupful of
strong coffee, be swallowed as soon as the
stomach is quiet (; because these very COM
mon articles nullify a larger number of
virulent poisons than any medicines in
the shops. In cases of scalding or burn
ing the body, immersing the part in cold
water gives entire relief as instantaneous
ly as lightning. Meanwhile get some COM
mon dry -four, and apply it an inch or
two thick on the injured part, the mo-
ment it emerges from the water, and keep
on sprinkling the -four through anything
like a pepper-box cover, so as TO put it on
evenly. Do nothing else, drink nothing
but water, eat nothing, until improvement
commences, except some dry bread soft
ened in very weak tea of some kind
Cures of frightful burnings have been per-
formed in this way, as wonderful as they
are painless. We once saved the life of
an infant which had been inadvertently
drugged with laudanum, and which was
fast sinking into the sleep which knows
no waking, by giving it strong coffee,
cleared with the white Of an egg, tea
spoonful every five minutes until it ceas-
ed to seem drowsy.-Nedical Jor11al
