The st. Adams Messenger of Tues
day evening gives the following par
ticulals Of sad catastrophe in St
Albans Bay on Monday evening.
About II o'clock last evening. as
Mr. Eleazer II. Jewctt, proprietor
of the Tile Works ON the east shore
of st. Adams Bay was returning
with his wife from an evening visit
at his brothers and a. I. Kellogg's
they determined when they reached
the Bay village to drive across the
ice home, to save time and distance
They conversed about the danger of
driving into the hole from which ice
had been taken, and accordingly
gave it wide berth and proceeded
with caution. But unfortunately a
new hole had been cut only the day
before and directly across the road
they were travelling. 1t was not
marked by bushes, as it should have
been, and when they supposed they
were perfectly safe all at once they
became engulfrd. Mrs. Jewett
struck upon a cake of floating ice
and did not sink at once. Mr.. jew.
EFT was dragged down for an instant
10y the horse, but disenGascd him
self as soon as possible attempted
to gam hold Of the solid ice in order
that he might rescue his wife, who
still kept partially ahoat. Mean
while he shouted loudly for help but
none arrived. Unable for some time
to gain any hold, both he and his
wife appreciated the extreme peril
of theiI situation and preparing to
face death aS calmly as possible, still
their efforts to escape
He laid his mittens out upon the ice
and waited for them to freeze down
SO that he might seize them and
draw himself out. But alas when
this experiment was tried it was
Dnud that the ice was only II thin
crust, frozen during the night, hich
broke beneath his weight and left
him tloundering and benumbed fur
ther from relief than before.
By this tim" MrS.sJewett became
unable to longer keep her position,
partly above water, and chilled
perhaps perishing with cold-fell
over and sank to rise no more. Mr..
Jewett continued his desperate
struggle to reach the main leo and
at length succeeded bu, was unable
to draw himself ont. Half frantic,
he resolved that if he must perish
lie would freeze rather than drown
and so chung to the ice and kept up
his struggle. In some way-he hard
" knows how. but probably by his
coat sleeves freezing to tue ice--he
at last found himself upon the solid
surface. He rolled away from the
verge, and then, unable to walk
made the way as best he could to
he house of George Younger, some
sixty rods distant, about midnight
and aroused him.
Help was Immediately rallied, Mr.
Jewett made as comfortable as pos.
sihle, and the body of Mrs. Jewett
recovered in a very short time

Down ON THE REAM-The N. Y.
Tribune opens blast on the Lin
coin statue by little Miss Ream,
lately set up in the Rotunda at
Washington, and Oh tie means by
which the vote appropriating the
10000 for it was lObbied through
congress. The Tribune says that
from Il feeling of the hopelessness
of righting the wrong, it abstained
from doing anything but make q
passing allusion to the "formless
thing" as it calls the statue, on the
occasion of its being unvailed. But
this was not satisfactory to some
persons, who assailed the Tribune
as a cOntcmner of American art and
an opponent of woman's enlran
chiscmcnt. Now it comes out with
u reply which is certainly plain
enough, not to say ugly. 1t alleges,
in point of fact, that "the voting of
ten thousand dollars to Miss Rca,n
for Il statue of Lincoln was u gross
and inexcusable outrage" that there
twas never a reason assigned for vot
ing the ORDER to Miss Ream, except
that she was woman, and wanted
it," and that "persistent aud shame
less lobbying carried the vote in
both Chambers" "Art," continues
this remOrselcss critic, "was insult
ed and taste was slapped in the face
by this ignorent and needless order,
and all this in the congress of a Ma.
ton that numbers among its citi
zens at least six of the greatest
sculptors of the age.'
The way Miss Rcam went ab ,ut
accomplishing her great work for
the adOrnment Of the National Cap
IrOl, is thus set forth:
When the fair enslavcr OF the sen.
ate had gotten her order, she lob.
hied for studio and got that. She
then devised jannty and coquctt
ish working costume, and held sean.
ces, in which she played at model
ing with gushing am. intantile grace.
At last she completed a formlcss
thing she called her model, aud a
diversion became necessary to throw
marble dust in the public eyes. So
she sailed for Italy with her clay
image and a few photographs of the
president. She gave these to some
Of those skillful statuaries who do
such excellent work at cheap wa.
ges, and while they are cutting the
marble Miss Winnie went about in |
very picturesque and polite compa
ny. The patient drudges worked
over their photographs, and at last
flushed a statue that resemblcd the
original, and was not grotesquely
false-but was as lifeless and soul |
less. as void of thought and mean
ing, as all journy- work inevitably
is. With this Miss Ream comes
home. The statue is set up. Mr..
DelanO, who, Of course, 10y virtue of
being Secretary of the Interior, is
infallible in things aesthetic, accepts
it-Miss Winnie gets her cash, and
the nation gets it's pure white block
Of Carrara marble.

It has done wonders for me. Had DIR. Bissel
raised me up to where am now, he would nave
thought he had done remarkably. But he could
not, and now / think he must feel somewhat
chagrined after saying so much against you and
your treatment. But L am thankful did not
heed his words that had energy and will
enough to give your treatment trial. We new
er shall regret doing so. By the mercy of God
and your Inhaling Fluids my life has been spared.
Very truly yours, rr,,,rr,

will cure every disease, nor is it advertised to do
so, still it will often accomplish great amount

by the scrofulous contamination until they were
painfully affecting, have been radically cured in
such great numbers in almost every section OF the
country, that the public scarcely need to be in
formed OF its virtues or uses.
Scrofulous poison is of the most destructive
enemies of our race. Often, this unseen and I'M
felt tenant of the organism undermines the con-
stltuton, and invites the attack of enfeeblipg or
fatal diseases, without exciting suspicion of its
presence. Again, it seems to breed infection
throughout the body, and then, on some favora-
BILE occasion, rapidly develop into one or ether of
its hideous forms, either on the surface OF among
the vitals. In the latter, tubercles may be sud
denly deposited in the lungs or heart, or tumors
formed in the liver, or it shows its presence by
eruptions on the skin, foul alterations on some
part of the body. Hence the occasional use of a
bottle of Sarsaparilla is advisable, even when no
active symptoms OF disease appear. Persons af-
hicted with the following complaints generally
find immediate relief, and at length, cure, by the
use OF this Sarssparllla st. Anthony's Fire. Rose
or Erysipelas, letter, Salt Rheum, Scald Head,
Ringworm, Sore Eyes, Sore Ears, and other erup-

IN the more concealed forms, as Dyspepsia, Drop
sy, Heart Disease, Fits, Epilepsy, Neuralgia and
the various Ulcerous affections of the muscular
and nervousAsyGtems.
Syphilis or Venereal and Mercurial Diseases
are cured by it, though long time is required
Tor subduing these obstinate maladies by any
medicine. But long continued use of this medi-
cine VIII cure the complaint. Lsucorrhaoa or
Whites, Uterine Ulcerations, and Female Dis
eases, are commonly soon relieved and ultimately
cured by its purifying and invigorating effect.
