ll0RsE DR0WNED.-Nr. Green li0m this
side Of tho river rho usually hauls the coal
for the Gas company. met with serious
loss 10 day. II seems that hc was coming
from the Illinois side With load Of coal,
about 30 bushels, and when about starting
upon the ice, it broke and let the horses
into the river. He succeeded in saving ~,
cry thing except one valuahls.horsc. Peo-

day evening. Aud it ia
rumofsd that during his absence he will
conclude an engagement that has been for
some time under consideration and return
with . partner"
The Gazette desires To convey the idea
that friend Smith has gone to get married :
when everybody who knows him knows
that be provided himself with most excel
lent vile many years ago. and TO intimate
that "Smith the Halter" is already on his
way to get another, 10 . clear case Of libel,
which must have been premeditated. We
can readily conceive how his son. H. G.
Smith, could start Oh on such an srrand-
and ws verify believe he has-and we wish
him Joy too-but We viii take An evcrlsst-
ing swear that "Smith the Halter" has no
such inteWt-evcn though he did go East
on Saturday evening.
On Ics.-Last Saturday eve we witnessed
some very we'll executed steps on ice, keep
lug time to the music. Two setts were FORM
ell and kept up most Of the time. Those
trying it for the first time missed step now
and then, but on the whole it was success
ful. Some Of the dancers seemed 10 think
it moro sport to dance on ice, than to dance
a. usual, in halls. etc. AZ we were not
mnch ION dancing" and the ice seemed to
have longing desire that NC should dimin-
ish our distance from il, We looked on, en-
joying the whole-the graceful, gliding mo-
tion of the ladies and gentlemen, the easy
swing Of the single skater, now and then
the mishap Of some one whose feet have de
eeived them, the scrambling to regain the
upright posture with the expression Of "Ohl
how cold y coming in sorrowrul cadcnccs
over the Ice, mingling with the pleasant
laugh Of the happy throng, and the Gle ar
ring Of the stcel>bound feet, all formed a
pleasant sight to look upon. Let all remem.
