THE WEArHER-Though dull and
heavy, yesterday was quite warm day
The wind blew pretty fresh from the
south, melting the ice in the cutters,
on the ponds and on the river. The
river ice looks quite rotten. Long
seams reaching from this shore to the
Island, have opened below the wharf,
boat and at the foot of Wheeling Creek
showing that it is ready TO go at any
moment. We did not consider the ice
on the river safe last evening, and
would advise boys to keep Oft of it for
the present. Last evening at 9 o'clock
the ice was still melting the thermom-
eter marking 4S degrees. The barom-
eter yesterday was very much agita,
ted, and indicates a considerable
change in the weather. Who knows
bu, that the Legislators may be able to
get TO Charleston yet?

Box DROWNED. - Yesterday after
noon, between two and three o'clock,
Mrs. Myers, wLo lives in one Of the
houses on the levee between the foot Of
Union street and the suspension bridge,

she saw two small boys crossing on the
ice from the Island TO this side Just
as they get under the bridge near this
side the ice broke and let one Of the
boys into the river. The other boy ran
back rs if for help. Paralyzed by the
sight, Mrs Myers could not move from

The place named a. where the lad was
drowned is so far from the other side,
where the boys were most Of them

the accident, and there were but two
or three boys on the ice on this side Of
The river. Ifthere is no mistake in the
matter we shall probably hear more
about it to-day.
