is particularly unhappy, and sounds it bu.
gle note Of alarm to terrify its we.k>kneed
followers, and warns them not to afili ate
with the Peoples party for fear Of being con-
ta.ninated by coming in contact with "cop.
psrhead tricksters in Disguise" How is it
that tho Gazette can cal such men o. DR..
Tegeler. Ernst. Claussen, Augustus Warnc-

pudence supreme. A few weeks ago the
Gazette came out and cxultingly proclaimed

inaugurated. This dodge failed, and now
it cracks its party whip. Try the nigger

happy feelings impair the briliancy Of your

fox.-The Gazette Of Friday! Gays: Front
street was very lively yesterday oil day, iu
the morning people went there 10 zee The
dangerous feat Of crossing on the ice per.
formed, boats on runners piled to and fft
- usual, but no person went oa tho ics
without breaking in unless in bcat. Even
those that propelled the boats were in The
water nearly half Of the time TO . greats
OF less depth. Some Of them went in q
far - possible, while others merely vent in
enough to get wet. Mr.. s. started acrcss
the river, but before he got far on his way
they found there was more load aboard thas
the boat ought to carry, hence be got out Il
come back, but did not hardly get on thu
ice before he broke in. He had . cost un-
der or on his arm, and in trying TO keep il
dry, got very vet himself from his feet t
his ears Those in the boat threw him ar
oar BY its assistance hs get ost, he wa'
chesrsd BY loud bursts Of laughter a. b,
hastily wendsd his way hons. A person
could easily tell when any one got in, even i
not looking. BY the loud shouts oflaughtsr
and the many fansy, quaint and queer re-
marks. At about half-past nine A. n, ths
centre Of the ics broke loose aud started
down stream. Here was more fan and sx-
element, and the crowd increased very rap
idly. The boats had oil gore across the
river after the passengers that would arrive
on the 10:45 train from the East and every
psrson waited anxiousiy to see the boats re-
turn, which was done in due course Of time
and ~as source of great smnssmsot 4
the large aud excited crowd. From thai
time forward the Ice kept going. until q
about six o'clock the President landed on
this side of the river, to take the passenger
over to the night train going East.
Tns House Of Representatives refused I,
concur in the Senate amendment 70 d,
! army bill, appropriating $3.50, 900 for u,
bridge st this point. The vote stood - Z,
los.
Another triumph Of New England policy
smother blow dealt at the vital interests
Of the west.
