FATAL EFFECTS OF TEE
FROST.


[From the Detroit Advertiser. Jan. 81
By q passenger who arrived here on the
Central Railroad last night, from the West,
RE learn Of one Of the most fearful nnd heart
rending affairs that has ever occurred IN this
section Of the country, namely, that family
Of seven persons were frozen to death during
the cold weather OF Friday last. About IS
miles from the boundary line between Mich
igan and Indiana, in the latter State, about
midway between Centerville aud Grown
children, named Krutzer. The oldest was q
boy of seven years Of age, the next d boy Of
FIVE, and three girls all of less age than tho
boys, the youngest but IN infant.
The country where the family resided is very
rolling, and the snow had driftcd into the
holloWs, making the roads almost If not
wholly impossible for even pedestrians.
Grown Point to Lake ria CcnterEille, found
that Krntzer's dwelling had been burned to
the ground, it is supposed the night previous
~, but none Of the tamlly were to be seen.
About a mile further on, however, he was
Mortified to find the father and two boys froz-
en- to death. The boys were In the fathers
arms, and it is supposed that he had fallen
with them after havlng been so far, affected
with the frost as not to be able to proceed.
The three corpses were placed In the stage,
but before it had proceeded more than q
quarter Of q mile on Its destination, the body
Of the Oldest girl wns found in . snow drift,
with shawl wrapped closely around It,
where it had doubtless been deposited by Its
weary mother while yet alive, In the hope
TINT sonle chance traveller might rescue 1t
from an impending fate. This corpse, too,
was placed in the coach, and again It started
on it's way, only to find, after travelling, d
short distance, the lifeless remains Of the
mother, with tile two youngest children. The
body fthc mother was standing erect In q
snow drift with the children in her arms, tho
youngest one being at the breast.
The seven Iffcless bodies were conveyed to
Centcrville By the driver Of the stage, at
which place they were deccntiy inferred by
the fnhnhitanfs.

The cart was drawn away, 'und Da9neWood!e
soul, with NIL its crimes, was launched into
its Makers presence. .x.-
The last victim was young man nancd
Andrew Wood, who looked to be no more
than twenty years old. He was concerned in
the robbing Of q German, several weeks ago,
and was eald to be complete scsundrel. He
was all game, and died blnye Us lion When
he was brought out the jail, With the fa-
tal rope round his neck, and his arms pinion-
cd behind him, he looked as defiant as the
devil, and said that The was fighting took,
he was, r. and that ''they tho committee)
might hang aud be id" When he got on
The platform he Looked over tho crowd, and
said, t'Good bye, friends, ''and then into cte1ni-
II he was launched. His execution completed
the fifth act in Ibis bloody tragedy, and moth
ing remained to be done bnt to let them hang
until life Was extinct, and then to hurry them
underground ont Of sight, which was done.
Some fifteen or twenty minutes elapsed be-
fore life Was entirely gone from all Of them.
In the meantime they hung there all In q
row, subject to the goze of 1the immense
crowd OF lockers on. Two. attending physi-
cions examined them, felt for the beating of
the leart and the pulse until the last motion
had ceased, and then ordered them to be cut
down. T1ey:Were carried into the house be-
fire which they were hung,. aud I presume
they will be inferred today.

4 Curious Story Of Neapolltan Corrup-


= AoMs a.
As m Il ustration of the universally Of cor
ruption at Naples, tho following amusing ....n-
ccdote, which comes from the Londor clubs,
will be read with. interest:
: "The Marchese A., one Of the most impor-
tant Of the Neapoiitan nobility, by " wealth and
functions, rms carried OF by the brigand Pl-
lone and bis band from his Yilla, near PorticI
His H.s ranaoim was liked ut twenty thousand
ducats-about four thousand pounds-and 4
nephew was charged to raise the sum and
bring it to an appointed rendezvous. He
started with the full amount; but on his way
began to reflect whether this was not an cx-
pensiye price to pay even for SO respectable
way and hid eight Of his twenty Thousand
! ducats in the maize 1eayes Of the cottage mat
trass.~ Arrived at the rendezvous he told Pi-
lone that he had been unable to raise the
twenty thousand-t1me so short-funds not
forthcoming, DC. Phone at first refused to
make my reduction, but. ut last, finding the
nephew firm, and perhaps fearing an attack
Of the carnbinieri, he agreed to take twelve
thousand, md released the hIarchese.
1.-THE nephew congratulated himself on his
foresight, and pocEcted the balance, when
the Neapolitan municipality, protesting their
disgust TINT so distinguished functionary
should havc been pn. to ransom under their
ing the ransom out of the municipal taxes,
and asked the Marchese to state the amount.
He very cody remarked thirty thousand du-
cata-which was accordingly paid over to
him. Phone heard Of this, and wrote to the
municipality that though 6rlgante, he was
qu1dut7fosno, and could not think of the NUM-
cipality being mu1cted in mora than he re-
ceived, viz: Twelve thousand ducats. This
led to a double explanation, ont Of which
came to light, first, the nepheW's large nib
BILE of the eight Thousand ducats, and then
the Marchese's advance Of eighteen Thousand
in the Marchese refmbursing the municipali-
ty, and the matter being hushed up.'

Having seen, In the hands Of gentleman
in this city, an interesting account Of the ex-
pcdition Of Capt. j. E. Bryant, Of the 8th
Maine, made On the 23d 1lt., from BarnBwe1l
Island, across Halls to the mainland, which
resulted In the capture Of the rebel ptckets,
and the release Of some tWeuty-six souls
from slavery, We condense the facts Us fol-
lows:
Captain Bryant took with him Captains
HcaE1ey ind Whitney, with thirty men each,
leaving part Of bis force on Hail Island, be
crossed 10 the mainland with some forty
men, and on Tucslny morning, about four a.
m, advanced on the plckets and captured
and four others, who had volunteered for the
pnrroee, made their way to the HaYmond
Plantation, within four miles Of POGO
tallgo, and succeeded in bringing OF
with them some .twcnty-seyen slaves,
coger to escape the yoke OF bondnge. This
large force Of the enemy, and SIX miles away
from support But the alarm had been given
and within an hour after their arrival the en-
envy arrived, preceded by five bloodhounds,
Capt. E. received them with great GOODNESS.
&c gnve his men orders to bayonct the dogs
aud ire on the, men- The furious. animals
came 1eaping and bowling npon their sup.
pierced with wounds. 4 well-directcd yolley
scattered their incenscd masters, and the de-
spised alaye held tho naughty Southron In
check. A report came that the enemy were
being reinforced with artillery. The sltua-
ton WAS critical. The captured picRets,
i've horses, and the. escaping slaves
were ut the landing with guard Of five men,
and the rest were covering tho road lead
ing to It, while the enemy was getting an en-
tlrely dlsproportionate strength. They un-
dcrtook q flank movement through the
woods, but Capt. Whitney, with ten men,
met them and laid low their commander, two
soldiers, and another bloodhound. The last
one was killed on tho shore, aud his body
sent trophy to Col. Higgcnson. Lieut.
Carr got the colored people across to Hall
Island. Having been attracted BY the firing
in the original place, he was to come over
with fiat boats on seeing q torch light after
the capture Of tho pickcts, but owing to the
stood the firing, and crossed and brought
back the fngitives.
Moving aloDg the shore, and under shelter
Of The woods. Captain Bryant held the enemy
at bay, and finally succeeded IN getting his
command across the river to Hall Island,
Lieutenant Robbins, who had been left in
command on Hall Island, crossing to meet
them. He Subsequently, in company with
Captain Hcaslcy, braycly rescued seven men
from IN adjacent marsh, within full view ol
the enemy. The expedition lost but tWe
wounded, and the Captain speaks in ths
highest terms of the gallantry Of not only ths
officers but the men, who proved that cool
ness and daring are not confined to white
EkinH, and that neither the ferocity Of tht
bloodhound, nor the fierce onslaught OF theil
once arrogant ownors, can make the cntr0n
chieed slave again cover.

From the New Orleans Correspondence Of the Bos-

As 10 Dr.. Cottman, beside the triling OBJ
ection that he was never elected to Congress,
there is another difficulty in the way; and
this leads one to relate story Of Gen. But
ler's administration which does not appear In
Mr.. Parton's book. 4 little over year ago
we had an election for Congressman IN the fst
and I'd Districts, By the direction Of the Pres
ldent Dr.. Cottman engaged to be candi-
date, and was thereupon cent for By Gen.
Butler. The conversation between the two
took place in the presence Of two residents Of
this city, to one of whom I am indebted for q
report Of its substance. ..i
The General, after inquiring whether 1t was
really true IL at the Doctor Was candidate
with his own consent, md receiving IN af-
fr1natiye answer, read the oath which he
would be required to taks before entering
upon his Congressional duties. It Is pretty
stringent covcnant, you may remember-l

comfort to the internal or external enemies
Of The Republic, never. held or sought office
under the pretended government Of the Con.
federate States, or in any way countsnanced eea
atte9tion of the Doctor to the terrible ordeal
which awaited him, the General drew forth
large fac-simile Of the ordinance OF secession
and pointed to the signature, Thos. +. q.
