The following is too good to be lost, SC
We give il a place ia the JOURNAL:
4 young lady and gentleman on re-
cent evening joined the skaters on the
beautiful Lake Champlain, near Platts-
burgb, bat prelerring each others society
alone, wandered of 10 an unfrequented
part, some two miles from shore, where
the ice was the smoothest. While enjoy
ing the splendid skating, the gentleman
was suddenly plunged into the water by
the irail Ice giving way, The young la
dy's SCREAMS were unayailing, but she
would not desert her companion, and ia
King of her dress aud jacket she tied
them together and attempted to reach
him with them but la vain. Her stock
ings were added, but still the rope was too
brief, and the young man was rapidly be-
coming exhausted. Her ingenuity did not
fail her Dropping of her hoop skirt, II
wa. quickly severed into half dozen
pieces, added TO the Jacket, dress and
aud stockings, aud to her great delight,
this made line long enough to reach him.
In few minutes, by hard pulling she
landed him safe and together they
made their way home, Few were the
words spoken on the journey, but they
were sufficient, and their wedding gar
ments are ordered for use before the ice
breaks up.
The following advice for March from
josh Billings Almanac seems to meet the
situation above described;
