Burgess, of this State. II is production
evincing much patient investigation and
heightened morality, and would have been
more appreciated if he had omitted one
clause, which seems to embrace the Radical
faith in politics. His allusion to Mr.. Lin

moral or adorn tale" did not give addi-
tional strength or beauty to the theme
which he was discussing.

Of a colony Of Americans from Maine,
whose debarkation took place without

cuttiue and Packing Ice.

The Sandusky Register thus describes
the modus oprandi Of cutting and pack
ing ice there
The cutters 90 out several hundred
wards from the wharves so as to secure
clear ice and plenty Of elbow room. They
then cut a channel four feet wide from
their field to the wharf where the ice is
taken out This channel is to tioat the
cakes of ice in. Next the ice they pro
pose TO appropriate, say an acre, Is
plowed with an ice plow to a depth OF
tour or five inches-these grooves inter
secting each other at right angles and
entering the surface Of the ice into par
allelograms about two feet by three
and half, the size Of the future ice cake.
A boy snd a horse can plow a large space
in a day. The ice being about twelve
inches thick there still remains much to
be broken after the plow has done its
work. The cakes are easily broken OF
with a heavy ehiselshaped bar, two or
three light taps being sufficient to dis
connect half a ton Of ice cakes from The

Savannah Trouhla.

New YORK, February 1.-The Her
aids Washington special says that from
a private letter to prominent official in
this city, from a source entitled to full
credence, it seems there is another side
to the plantation outrages in South Car
olina than that presented by the Associ
ated Press report. The following ex-
tract is from the letter:
"The trouble on Savannah river was
early settled by Gen. Scott, Commits
sioner OF Freedmen. Some officers sent
a squad of soldiers to plantation under
charge of an ex.febel officer, and the me-
groes took exceptions to being killed by
United States soldiers under rebel Off
Ger. Day before yesterday young fell
low rode up and down King street,
Charleston, in full Confederate uniform,
with at least four dozen brass buttons on
him. Two colored orderlies from Gen.
SCOTS headquarters were beaten one
day while carrying orders down town.

rested by the Commissioner of Freed
men"

A Beautiful Phenomenon.
From the Chicago Times, 26th.l

From the Chicago Times, 26th.l
During the progress of an extensive
conhagration, which ragged in the west
division during the early part of last
night strange phenomenon was OBJ
served in the heavens. For nearly an
hour the sidewalks on Park, Dearborn
and adjoining streets were crowded with
multitude OF thousands, intently gazing
in the direction of the setting sun"
The night was dark, but to the west the
fire lit up the horizon for considerable
space. This was nothing more than
usual, and would have attracted only
passing glance. But above this lurid
reflection there shot upward pillar of
fire" such as in shape, size and color
was never seen before 1t was sight to
fill the breast with awe, and set the mind
to wonder.
Its altitude was no less than seventy
degrees, with breadth nearly that Of
the rainbow, even up to the highest pin
nacle. For base was the dark red re-
Election, proper, of the fire; : then com
menced the pillar, of pale yellowish
hue; half way up it turned to light red,
and the whole was surmounted by
glowing dark red crown. Thus it would
sometimes draw down within itself, as it
were, and then suddenly shoot up into
the sky, for moment giving a brilliant
hue to the entire heavens The indirect
cause for this strange phenomenon was
unquestionably the fire, but the imme
diate cause which produced this beauti-
full formation is a puzzle, which some
who saw it were unable to solve. 1t re-
sembled no description ever given in
books. 1t was simply an even sized col
umn, with well defined outlines, but
varying in hue from base to cap, 1t was
not unlike one of Prof Sylvester's magic,
many colored fountains, as it rose and
fell, but thousand times more grand
and imposing 1t was one of natures
efforts, beyond imitation and beyond
description.

"Try Il On


The Knickrbocker tells an excellent
story Of Burchard, the revivalist; not of
him exactly either, but of what happened
at the close Of one Of his meetings He
was in the habit Of addressing his con-
gregation in this wise:
am now going to pray; and want
all that desire to be prayed for, to send
up their names on piece of paper.
On the occasion to which we refer,
there was at once sent up to the desk
quite pile of little slips of paper, with
the names on whose behalf he was to
wrestle," as he said, with the Al
mighty"
A pause soon ensued, when he said,
Send 'em upl l can pray for FIVE
thousand just as easy as l can pray for
dozen. Send EN- up. If you havn't
any paper, get up and name the friend
you want prayed for"
At this stage of the proceeding, man
whom we shall call 0ziel Biggs, stall
wsrt man Of six feet and half in his
stockings, notorious believer, and a
confirmed wag to boot, rose in the midst
of the congregation, a mark for all, and
amidst the winks, and becks and smiles
of the auditory, said;
"Mr Burchard, l want you to pray for
Jim thompson
The reverend petitioner saw from the
excitement of the audience, that Oziel
was hard case"
What is your name, sir and who is
Mr.. Thompson
Its Jim Thompson; he keeps tavern
down in Thompsonville, and l keep q
public house little below him. He is
an internal scoundrel, and l want you to
give him lift"
But" said Mr.. Burchard, "have you
faith in the efficacy of prayer? Do you
believe in the power of petition :"

sponsed Oziel; :" / scant you to try IL on
