Afioat ON a Cake ar ice.

From the Oshkosh Northwestern, Jan. 10.
Mr. z. NJ. Bell, of this city, on Thurs
day returned from Stoekbridge, driving
a horse and cutter across Lake Winnebago,
ON the ice. The mild weather of the past
two weeks had so badly softened the ice
that it is now in dangerous condition.
When two or three miles from Stockbridge
Mr. Bell noticed that the ice was covered
with water He was too far from shore
to turn back and the prospect was hardly
encouraging in front. Urging his horse
ahead it was with the greatest difficulty
tsat he succeeded in going forward, as the
ice had opened inlarge cakes from four to
ten inches in width. The horse, with eyes
dilated to their widest limit, and ears
thrown back, as if keenly aware of the
danger of the situation, walked slowly
and steadily forward, planting his feet
upon the ice as ii feeling his way and
testing the firmness of the ice as he walk
ed. The openings IN the Ice increased in
number and the water deepehed. Encour-
aging the horse with cheering words, Mr..
Bell guided him forward until about five
miles from StockDridge, when he stopped
and refused to advance Whether from
fear or cold, the horse shivered so that the
harness ratified like pair of castenets, the
water meanwhile rising to his knees. As
nothing could be seen in front more dan
gerous than chasn five or six inches
wide, Mr. Bell soothed the horse as best
he could and again urged him forward.
The horse made short levp, crossed the
opening and again stopped, when from the
tottering and insecure feeling of the ice
Mr.. Bell perceived at once that the piece OF
ice onwhich he stood had become separated
from the rest. On every side narrow chan.
mel varying in width from foot to foul
inches, and the cake itself measuring
about twenty feet in diameter The block
of ice, moved by the impetus of the horses
weight, swayed under the water, first on
one side, then on the other, so that the
side of the cutter at times touched the
waters edge, and the horse was wet to hi.
breast, but as it overcome by fear, he
stood stock still in his tracks, only giving
vent to his fright by an occasional snort
| Quickly as possible, Mr.. Bell sprang into
the water, and held the frightened beas
| by the halter, and soon quoted him 81
that the ice resumed a level position. II,
then sought out the best place to cross th
opening which separated him from tn
more solid ice, gently led the horse to tn
edge, crossed it, and was soon out of al
serious danger. Then, after a careful sur
vey of the lay of the land, from the high
est part of thu cutter, he took a straigh
course to the north, tn the direction Q
Neenah, for three or four miles, thus es
leaping the worst part of the ice, and the
crossed directly in the direction of Ost
kosh, and was soon at home.

THE statement is made that after all the
debts and pecuniary obligations of the
late James Fisk, Jr., shall be settled,
there will net remain more than between
one and two hundred thousand dollars to
his wife, who succeeds TO the bulk of his
estate. He had his life insured for some
$50 900 or more probably, if the story of
his comparative poverty, at the time of
his death be true, with sort of PRESENT.
ment that the day would come, sooner
than the world expected, when his great
imagined riches would depart from HIM.
We are not at all inclined to believe that
this man Fisk has left behind him so beg
carly bank account as the sum mention
ed above but it is possible that he has
done so and if so, how deceptive, in
deed, in life was this Mokanna of money,
whose rude and barbaric splendor awaked
the enthusiasm of the street Arabs, and
drew to his side countless human hawks,
iutent only upon gorging themselves at
his expense In the later revelations
brought about by his death, the proper
tions of his huge DotorIety dwindled into
insignificance, and the man who seemed
TO the world, in the fond and repeated
| sensationalIsms of the New York press tG
be a sort of brilliant combination OF Cas-
anova and Cagliostro-lover and charla-
tan in one-promises to turn out in thu
end to have been little better than jest
