wIaHINar0N,s ANN1vERsARY.

No nation can long live that cherishes
not the eIories of its past. Its great g'i'01
| names, it's illustrious rePreseh'H'i'
were prest not only in and ior 'ner own
So In. for all times-a prophecy and an
ms pirRtion.
Tha name of Washington at the close of
,ho lac, century filled the civilized world
w;,h admiration of that most exalted type
Of simple, true, unselGsh greatness then
seen and known. No name in all modern
history-in politics, war, or science has
more elevated aud adorned our common
humanity, has been more honored in all
human hearts, of all lands, than that ''nobly
great, immortal one" of the commander and
hero of the American revolution, the first
President Of our Republic, the retired sage
of Mount Vernon.
The nation he led to independence sur
wives. All the distinctive blessings Of our
free institutions we largely owe under God
to the noble sacrifice and exalted patriotism
| of an intelligent people, and personihed IN
this its great head and representative man.
When veneration for Washington dies or
fades in American hearts, will have expired
the genius that lifted GUS once feeble, de-
pendant colonies to national greatness. So
long as! il remains embAlmed' in the
| nations heart and best hopes, may we be
assured that the star of our destiny is still
ascendant, and thst q glorious harvest OF
national prosperity and blessing is yet to be
gathered from the heroic seedtime of our
great revolutionary struggle. The unity of
pas. and present will be complete. The
enduring vitality of the Republic will be
assured. To morrow is the anniversary
the l39sh, of his birthday, and
the bare announcement Of the fact ls the
only means we have of knowing Il. We
have evidently retrogaded in our generation
and respect Tor this noble man. What pub
lie recognzance of his anniversary have we?
| The press of the country are silent; it would
seem as if they have purpOselv suppressed
any mention of his natal day. His great
deeds and noble life are no longer quoted
for the emulation of the rising generation ;
the only class of people who seem disposed
to recognize him as worthy Of honor and
remembrance are the iremen, who annually
assemble upon the coming of the 22d Of
February. And where erst they parsded
the streets, in full display, they now hold
balls. The mass of the people have either
substituted some hero of the war for Wash
ilgton, Or have entirely forgotten him. Il
Is no credit to the nation but shame, thai
this is fact.

i CATAsTRoPHE.-A sleigh with four or
Eve occupants was approaching this shore
this afternoon when suddenly it broke
through the zee, to the imminent danger
and sudden ducking of the aforesaid occu
pants, horses and wagon. Some ten or a
dozen men who were standing on the shore
ice, looking at the unfortunates foundering
in the water, were surprised to find them
selves foundering also, the ice breaking
under their feet. a rescue party of four or
Eve were engaged in fishing out the first
party, when the ice gave way under them,
and the scene was rendered ludicrous to the
look ers on, by the sudden addition of the
rescue party to the other Aounderers. 1t
was mirth-provoking to the ones who were
safe on land, but dreadfully serious to the
ones in the water. However, they
were finally all rescued, although ons
or two of them were insensible when
taken out Some of the unfortunates recov.
cred sufficient to "smile" at q neighborlng
saloon, but no laughter escaped the lips of the
damp sixteen as they marched up Eagle
street, with their clothing dripping Young
Mississippi. 1t was very narrow escape
for them, and should be warning to others.
The river is in an unsafe condition, and no
person should set foot upon it. In no place
is the ice more than four inches, and some
places only two inches thick.
