An immense crowd gathered on the levee.
at St. Louis on Friday to witness the break

down the river, large masses of ice would
sometimes get turned on their edge out OF

them, they would measure about 20 feet high

The proposition in the Senate to inves-
tigate the number of recommendations
made by each Senator for appointment to

been on large scale. The Senator did
not help his case by flying into a passion
over it. The disclosure of his large list o.
recommendations is a little matter thai

The Buffalo Board Of Trade have adopted
resolutions in reference to the discrimination
IN the tariff in favor of New England fisher
men, which, it is alleged, operates very un-
justly against the fishing industry of the lakes.
A strong protest is made against the high
tariff upon certain articles used in the trade,
and against additional burdens which are
threatened to be imposed Congress is urged
to make such an adjustment of the question
as will give to Western fishermen all the
rights, privileges and drawbacks extended to
the fishermen Of other sections.

That Cancer Cure.

Some sharp spectators in Pittsburg have
been resorting to a shrewd dodge for the
purpose of securing large amount of val
liable advertising without cost to them
selves. The plan is to address to the edi-
tors of newspapers n written letter, setting
forth the facts that the writer is man of
sixty-two years of age, who for eight years
was afflicted with cancer, which had eaten
away his nose and was fast devouring his
left eye, when he began to drink wild
tea" putting the tea grounds on the cancer
at night as a poultice. The result was a
perfect cure, and as an evidence of his graf
itude for deliverance from horrid death,
he informed the public that this "wild tea
grows over the country generally"
Now the facts are, first, that "wild tea, {"
US he terms it, is about as scarce as hens
teeth if indeed there is such plant, and
second, that a party was lately detected in
Pittsburg in putting up packages of this
"wild tea' for the cure of cancer, an exam
nation Of the contents of which, proved
them to be nothing more nor less than
ground-up clover heads, and other refuse
of hay-lofts, of which several tons were
found Oh the premises.

A Curious Breach of PrOmIse.n -

The Pitsburg Post says: A narr has been
iiled in the prOthonotary's Office in breach
Of promise case which presents some sin

of this city, last year happened by chance
to see her photograph, and so admired it
that, though he had no acquaintance with
her, he declared he would marry her. She
was then living in Ireland, but 30 enamor-

Marvellous Coon Accident.

The Indianapolis News tells this: A Yer
million county man met with a singular
accident while hunting coons. 1t appears
that, having penetrated about mile into
the forest, he "treed" a coon up large
sycamore, fell another tree against it, and
ascended about forty feet to the top.
He found coon had gone into branch
Of the tree, and, while standing on the top
Of the main trunk chopping the limb, the
decayed wood sank beneath his feet-the
tree short distance below being hollow
and he fell to the ground inside the tree.
Not returning search was made; there
being a slight snow, he was tracked to the
tree, and his axe being found sticking
where he struck the last blow at the top,
the nature Of the ease became apparent.
When "cut out" lac was insensible from
cold and exhaustion, having been in the
tree from Saturday morning until Sunday
evening.

Another Terrible Storm.

A dispatch from Chicago dated the 14th
inst, says: News from Sioux city says fear
full storm ragged in that section Monday
afternoon and night. The weather was
warm and pleasant till two o'clock p. m,
when the storm set in with great fury; the
mercury fell 40 degrees in two hours;
the wind blew q hurricane, accompanied
by binding snow storm. 1t is feared that
the sufierings in the country have been
fearful. Samuel Ellison, living II miles
out of the city, left here for home at four
o'clock p. M, with team, and his body
was found this morning five miles out; he
had frozen to death. Other deaths from
the storm are reported, but no particulars
are known,
Trains on the division of the Illinois
Central Railroad are all showed in. The
weather is entensely cold, the thermometer
indicating 18degrees below zero.
Owing to the prostration of the telegraph
lines by storm, nothing further has been
heard in relation to the reported freezing
! of Spotted Tail and his band, but the report
is generally discredited here.

A Novelty In Arctic Exploration.

Mr.. Octave Pavy, the wealthy and adj
venturous young Frenchman, who is going
to the North Pole, proposes to do the jour
ney'on rubber raft. The raft is COM
posed of four keel-shaped cylinders, fasten-
cd together on the decks by wooden Stats,
to which the necessary masts and riggings
are attached. 1t is so small that it occupies
very little room-in fact, M. Pavy carries
his pack in barrel, but it will carry about
10000 pounds Of freight besides the crew.
NJ. Pavy is in st. Louis, en- route for the
Pacific coast; but finding the Union Pacific
road blocked with snow, will return TO
New Orleans and so to San Francisco by
some other route. He will leave San Fran
cisco in the spring, and will steer for Pet
rozavodslS, where he will take on board
provisions, furs, dogs and reindeers. Sail
ing through Behring's Straits, NJ. Pavy will
bear for the land discovered by Captain
Long, about five hundred miles broad,
which he will cross in sledges drawn by
reindeer and dogs, taking his boat with
him. This land lies between II and so de-

expected, sometime in August After
crossing it, he expects to find the open Po-
