noon. We lidn't He jon down for ~ ''the
sights" He says:
"Just q the great Geld Of snow-covered
ice commenced to move, No saw in the dis
taace near the bland bsldw, two nsa who
were making for the Iowa shore; they how
ever became intinidated, and started back.
But further above, between the Illinois depok
the west side, and our fairy landinE was
more exciting spectacle upon which large
crowd of men, women and children at the
landing were gazing intently with great
anxiety and solicitude. Four boys had start
ed home from the Illinois side, where q large
party ofjuveniles had been amusing them
selves skating on the smooth ice found on
the sloughs and ponds about the islands. In
looking after them we lost sight Of the man
below, who, we understood, reached the other
shore in safety, one Of them only getting
cold bath gratis.
"The four venturesome youths were about
athird of the way across, on the moving
masses of ies, when one of them, becoming
alarmed, turned back, and succeeded in
reaching the other shore without accident.
The three others continued on their perilous
journey ct rapid rate, two of them in ad-
vance of their companion. At the time they
reached this shore, he was only about two
thirds of the way across. The current next
to the shore was running swiftly, while cakes
Of Ice wefe srpshing against the ferry boats,
leaving before him ssvssal large chasms or
open spaces Of deep water, clear Of ice. In
attempting to leap over one Of these, from
terror, or In NOT sosrsatly sscsrtainint the
distance, he was submerged In the svit and
chilly stream. Though borne down . short
distance, he rose again, struggling as if his
feet were caught in the ice. Again hs ap-
peared to sink, and rose to the surface. Each
time, his hands were reckoning imploringly
for succor from those on land, while he
clutched fast to the ice, and making third
effort, rose to bis feet, end advanced, wildly
rushing towards the shore.
All was excitement, and hundred voices
we're calling to him, giving him directions to
insure his safety, As contradictory as they
were numerous. Instinctively he sought out
the safest route, leaped the last frightful
chasm, and lighting upon the inclined mass
Of frozen snow and ice, was seized by friend
| ly hands on shore and saved miraculousy
from a watery grave.
While he struggled amid the ice in the
stream every one waited and watched in
silence and breathless suspense. As he ad-
vanced and neared the shore, over the most
perilous part of his venturesome journey,
they became wild with excitement, which
subsidized when he reached the shore, seem
ingly pleased with his romantic adventure and
escape from death
This Juvenile Sabbath breaker will doubt
less not forget this days Sunday amusement,

i Practical Mfscegenationist in Crawford
County.
MARTIN GROVER.

On Friday of last week large and por:ly
gentleman of African descent, named Silas
Bryant visited our town accompanied by a
white man, whom from appearance we took
for police officer from some oIty. Ii turned
that the white man was detective from
Nashville. and the negro Il resident of the
same place. Tho object of their visit was to
discover the abolItOnist who had stolen the
wife of the sooty gentleman. They had
tracked the pair, by hard work, to this county,
and on Friday morning the detective, when
strollug about town, unexpectedly came
across one Jacob b. Heller, resident
OF Liberty township, aud who had recently
returned from the army. Heller, it seems,
was accompanied by a portly, voluptuous
looking female OF rather dark complexion,
whom the detective at once discovered to be
the wife of Bryant-the colored gentleman
accompanying him. They were about buy
ing furniture to 20 to housekeeping. Ii
seems that when Heller returned accompani-
ed by his dusky beauty, he represented her
a. prosecuted southern lady" of great re-
tinement, whom he had married. OF course
the "loyaP' in the neighborhood went into
ecstacies over the hero Heller, and his south
ern bride. They went into the best society,
parties were given them, they attended
church, and everything went ''merry as Il
marriage bell. but as the OLD adage has IL,
murder will out" the visit of the coored
gentleman from Nasheille-who by the way
is black the ace of spades-cast a''dark
cloud" over the hopes of MIR. Heller.
1t seems that Tabitha Jane-the name OF
the wvnGu-isft hor husband and three little
pickaninnes mt Nashville, with the avowed
intention ofvisiting some friends in Memphis,
but instead she eloped with Heller, and came
10 Crawford county.
But upon seeing her colored husband Ia
bitha James old love for him returned and
her heart yearned for her children. She con-
cluded to return to the home she had made
desolate she, therefore, forsoOk her white
paramount, and started back on Saturday
morning with her lawful husband to Nash
vile, leaving Heller either TO hang himself
hunt another wench, or to go somewhere and
learn to be a better man.
Before leaving, Bryant entered suit against
Heller, in the court of common pleas of
Crawford county for seducing his wife, claim
ing damages in the sum of $40, 000.-Buey-
rus o. Forum.
