The RIvER.-The river was again frozen
entirely across last night, the ice being from an
inch to one inch and an eighth thick. The
Washington Ferry boats are laid up, but the
AQUA Creek steamers continue to make their
trips though with much difficulty. 1t is re-
ported that there are some twelve or thirteen
boats loaded with oysters, just below Fort
Washington, ice bound, and while the ice con-
tiuues in its present state, thereabouts, they
cannot be ,owed up The Government tugs
from the Forts, below, are unable to make
their trips. The ice is reported to extend
down for considerable distance below Aqua
Greek. In the rays of the sun, to- day, there
was slight thaw-but hardly any impression
was made on the ice in the river,

THE DEFALcATIoN CASE IN WASHINGTON.
Mr.. Clarke (late cashier Of Riggs & Go. was
know as genial, good-hearted man, and a
number, We are sorry to say, of our business
people, induced him to cash their checks,
when at the time not dollar was to their credit
in the bank. To cover such checks drawn,
Mr.. Clark would visit the vault, withdraw a
note of large denomination from one OF the
numerous packages therein, and replace 1t by
one of a small amount; consequently his cash
account always appeared correct at the end OF
each days business.
The first step was made at the instance Of
one of his friends, and was continued to obllge
Others until be was ruined. Mr. Riggs deep
ly depIores the position in which Mr.. Clarke
has placed himself, as he was one of the most
trusted EMPLOYEES, occupying a responsible and
confidential position for the past fifteen years
Mr.. Riggs is satisfied that the amount lost
will be made good, but states that he would
have preferred to have lost the whole amount
than to have lost confidence in Mr.. Clarke
The rumor that Mr.. Clarke left for California
is not correct. He is now with his friends
North, and they have made arrangements to
settle all his indebtedness without any loss to
the bank.
On Monday week Mr. Clarke was in the
bank, and on being questioned by Mr.. Riggs
as to the discrepancy in his cash, admitted that
ne had used the funds of the bank, but that it
had been given to his friends on their checks,
which they failed to Eaake good. He then ex-
planned how the account had been balanced
each day, and appeared overwhelmed at the
discovery OF his gross betrayal of confidence

Minnesota has more wild fruit this year than

The olive Is found to do well In Australia, and
preparations are making 10 plant it on an extensive
scale 1t will be worth than their gold mines.
A new way TO get rid of Canada thistles is to
let them grow as long as they WILL and to draw out
of the soil all the thistle elements, when they will
die and leave the ground in good condition for grass
and grain.
As the merits of the Kerry cattle become
known they rise in estimation: No other breed
thrives so we'll and gives such rich milk on scanty
food ID. +. Appleton, the watch man, has herd on
his farm at Ipswich, Mass, and the country is in
