ICE BOUND
a Fleet Of Steamboats, in q Gorge
Millions Of Dollars poyth Of Pro
pc,ty In Danger.

perry IN Ddnger.
7 From the Louisville Courier.Journal. Feb o.
u. We published on Sunday morn
Z ing q letter from a correspondent OF
board the steamer Nick Long worth
! which left this port on the evening
OF the 10Th ult., giving an account
of the situation of the Longwortl
and fonr other steamers aud one
barge, all locked fast In an immense
ice foe, some sixteen miles below
Cairo. The gorge is represented as
eight or ten miles in length and ten
to fifteen feet in depth, and the
boats are IN the utmost danger oil
destruction by the moving or break
ing up of the ice.
The gorge is said to Ill the basin
and extend six or eight miles up the
river from the points of rocks.
| The value of boats and cargoes
thus involved is variously estimated
at from two and a half to Ave mil
lions OF dollars. The magnitude Of
the loss, therefore, should the boats
be destroyed, renders their situation
matter of great concern, not only
to the owners of the vessels, bnt to
the shippers and to the insurance
companies.
The above will explain the cause
Of our failure to make our usual APP
peafance on last Saturday. Know
ing this we prepared for this week
by getting paper nearer home, and
having had the good fortune to
have the assistance of an expert
this week We are once more all right
and we shall take every precaution
not to disappoint our patrons again.
A Southern Route Across the Con-
tinent.
A late number of the Salt Lake
Tribune says:
The experience of the last few
months with the Union Pacific
Railroad has demonstrated the alb
solute necessity of more southerly
route which can be travelled at all
seasons of the year without the pos
sibility of being blockaded.
The people of the west having be-
come accustomed to the convent
ence and benefits of the fast mail
and freight facilities, cannot now
be expected to endure the annoy
ance and pecuniary loss incident to
an interruption of all business from
a snow blockade. e.
1t is clearly perceived that the
geographical position Of the North
ern Pacific Railroad torblds the pos
sibllity of its being any great bene-
fit to Salt Lake City and the vast
extent of country south of us, as an
overland route, and it is by no
means proved that this road will be !!
less liable to interruption than the /
present Union Pacific line.
What we need is construction
IF the road running west of st.
Louis on the thirty fifth parallel.

Southern road at some convenient
point South, aud the Utah Central
already c. injected with the Central
Pacific route, would give us thor

A FALSE TuEoRY.-"I believe that thing
is good for me which l like" said Tom
Marshall at the same time pouring a glass
of the "best brandy" down his throat, as
his most conclusive reply to a friend who
was urging him not to drink. Now il was
not to be questioned that Tom liked liquor.
Every landlord in Kentucky and hun
dreds elsewhere knew how well. Quite as
little could it be doubted that liquor was
running him ut a rate that startled even his
boon companions. The refutation of his
Wanted maxim was written in his own
boated face, therefore. And any one who
looked at him would require no further
evidence Of the fatal snare that lurked in
his plausible philosophy offood and drink.
Yet how many men dispute in their own
practice the theory of the brilliant but err
ratio stump orator? Is it not the nearly
unanimous opinion of all of us that a thing
which we "like" is good for us? Or, If we
allow that it is not greatly beneficial do we
not at least persuade ourselves that it is, at
least, not harmful, TO us? DR.. Willard
Parker testiies, as the result of profess
sional experience of many years, that per-
sons addicted to the use of tobacco recover
from fever or from injury much more
slowly, and with less proof of healthful
energy in the process, than those who are
not 50 addicted. In 1852 the Emperor Ma
pOlepn became so convinced by II careful
examination Of the statistics of the hospit-
| ais, that eases of paralysis aud insanity
were increased by the use OF tobacco, that
he issued an order prohibiting its u.e by
the students in all government institutions,
But this, we shall he told, is the result of
the excessive use-thc abuse Of tobacco.
Granted. But is not the tendency Of the
use Of 1t uniformly towards abuse? Is
| it not the experience of every person who
uses it habitually, the more care or labor
presst on him the more frequently will he
have recourse to this "solace p Is it not
probable, therefore, that all who thus use ii,
abuse it more or less Can any man b.
sure of such an cquable and serene lot in
| life as never to he put under the tempa-
| ton to the excessive use of this narcotic ?
| And since ho can scarcely answer these
| question: in any way TO ovado the c0nclu-
| sion, is il not better for him 10 accept il, al

THE HARTwELL FARM. BY Laura Cax-
ton, author of "Marion Berkeley" Loring,
Publisher, Boston. Price $3.50. A good,
healthy story, dealing with healthy people,
and founded in the events of every day life
in New England. Theodore, the heroine,
is a good substantial girl. She darns
stockings, patches her brothers clothes,
keeps house generally, and is the mainstay
of the family. Yet she is brilliant, cult
waited and refined. Around this central
character are grouped a literary, unpracti-
cal father, commonplace, but good-hcart-
ed cousin Kate, a few young men of socie-
ty, one or two earnest friends and, finally,
n hero TO match tire hcoine, as cultivated
and as practical as herself. Their lives,
like real life, pass through sun and shad-
ow and the lessons which the book incul-
Gates are such as will benefit the young by
teaching the heroism of common life.

TO any boy or girl whom Santa Claus over

William, at Newfane, in the faithful discharge of all
the duties incumbent upon her the vile OF tue said
William, until the first day of September A. d. 1863
when the said William wilfully and without cause de-
serted the Petitioner, and left for parts unknown
since which time she has supported herself by her
industry, the said William having wholly neglected
and refused to support her in any degree that she
does not know where the said William now resides
that she has resided at said Newfane since the year
1868 and praying for divorce from the said William,

'At the funeral of James Fisk, Jr.. at
Brattleboro, Chaplain Flagg of the 9th regi-
ment pronounced n warm eulogy upon the
deceased, saying, among other things, that
he believed he died contidlng in the Savior,
and that prayer was heard in the courts
Of heaven aud accepted at the throne of the
Almighty" Really, 1t does seem rs if this
sympathetic nonsense about Fisk came
with but sorry grace from the pulpit, which
is presumed to have a higher standard Of
decent manhood than that erected by II
flash reporter for a sensational city daily.
The conservatism of "Mark Twain's" Ne

body of one whose life had been most un-
canny, that he "made nice, quiet corpse"
