Snow SToRM.-Yesterday we enjoyed
a regular, old-iashioned snow storm.
All the day long flakes :ell upon the
earth silently but surely covering up
the dirty streets, quietly draping the
ash piles and garbage Of the alleys with
the garb of purity, just as many cor
rupt man pulls his hat over his eyes,
puts on the appearance Of sanctity and
passes for a saint Snow seems to be-
long to the world Of ghosts. 1t is the
opposite of verdure, plenty, and
life. This gives it supernatural
affinity. Childhood is deeply impressed
with a fall of snow Ostensibly occu'
pied with externals, with form and
color, the deeper being Of infancy is
amenable to the vastness and awfulness
OF the storm. The beauties Of the snow
drop, microscopically viewed, match the
superb grandeur OF the snowfall; IL i
instinct with life when examined A
distinguished chemist, in an expert
ment, once examined water in vessel
and found it to be pure; snow was then
dissolved in it under the glass the liquid
was found with hundreds Of animal
cule, resembling diminutivc shrimps
not unlike eels dissolved in acetic acid
Snow water is thought to be unwhole
some for this reason, and the affection:
Of the throat which are found in many
parts of Switzerland are attributed tc
its use. Thus we perceive the wonder
full lovliness OF life which pervades ere
alton; the snowdrop rivals the star il
beauty, and like the star is world iuI
| OF lie.

BROKE csterday afternoon
about > o'clock, two boys attempted to
cross the river on the ice from the Isl
and to the foot Of Monroe street The
snow falling on the thin ice, crustei
over the many air holes, made this a
very dangerous proceeding. They go;
along very well, until near this side
when one of them stepped on the treach'
erous ice, which gave way under his
feet, and he was plunged into the stream.
His companion ran salely to shore. The
boy condition for time was very pre-
carious, but he managed TO break his
way TO the strong ics, and was rescued,
very frightened and very vet tie II

Amnn Found Drowned.

On Sunday Last the remains of a man
unknown were taken from the river III the
rear of the residence of Joseph Ambrose,
Just below the lower landing. He had been
drowned, but by what means is a mystery.
The probabilities are that he voluntarily
sought watery grave, as there were no
marks of violence or abrasions about the
body. Apparently he had been drowned
but short time, as the body was but little
swollen. An inquest was held and ver~
dict rendered that he came to his death by
drowning. No one knew him and there
was nothing in his possession establishing
his identity. He was apparently about
thirty-five years of age and was dressed in
a blue blouse coat, light gray pants; be
had on q black wool hat and wore belt
around his body. There were in his pock-
cts four nickels, pocket knife aud bunch
of shoe strings, The knife is ct the Coro-
ners Office aa1tmay be the means of iden-
tifyiEg the unknown and unfortunate man.
