SAD Ice AccIDEST.-The Detroit Post. OF the
50, says; AS has been the custom an previous
winters, travel by sleighs on the ice H. frequent
ly INDUCED In from points all along shore. The
Inhabitants OF Windsor. Sandwich, aud other
river towns, have this winter in river rides a.
far as Amherstbnrgh, and report IL most excel
lent sleighing. Yesterday a driver of one of the
Sandwich stages claimed 90 have witnessed
catastrophe which happened on the river some
distance below Sandwich Point. According TO
his version, he was driving along the river road
between Windsor aud Sandwich, and observed
one-horse cutter and its occupants suddenly
disappear from view beneath the breaking ice
in the river. There was, he stated, his wife and
-four children in the cutter at the time. They
were, he thought, about half way across when
the ice broke. Not yestiee OF any OF tke party.
or, for that matter, of the horse or sleigh, was
afterward seen. IL would hardly seem possible
that any one could find place in the ice below
the city large enough 20 get horse and sleigh
into. The only superstition Is, that there was an
hole which had only slight covering OF ice,
and into this the man and his family uncOn-
sciOusly drove. Any "mysteriOus disappearan-
ces" may, perhaps, be hereafter accounted for.

The KLBrToMANIAC CLERGYMAN CLEARED
The clergyman who stole books from the Theo-
logical Library in Cincinnati has escaped with
light sentence. On the trial the curious spec
tacle was presented Of prosecuting attorney
for the state literally pleading the cause Of the
prisoner. This gentleman, Mr.. Campbell, said
that public opinion was very much against the
accused, but the more he (Mr. CampbelD had
looked into the case the more dsinclined he had
felt to prosecute it at all. 1t appears, how
ever, that the librarian, feeling that he
was held responsible as custodian Of the
books, insisted that the trial should 90 on.
Mr. Campbell thought, on the whole, that a
case OF larceny had been made out, but was
doubtful about the "intent" which constitutes
the Pist Of the crime. He was clearly anxious to
get Morgan OF. Judge Carter said he had no
doubt either Of the taking of the books or that
the prisoner meant to keep them. The upshot
was that the Judge fired Morgan twenty five
dollars, and then Immediately RENTED the fine
and costs; and the inference is that there was
something about the unfortunate mans bearing
which pleaded for him more effectually than the
merits of the case, and inclined the scale to
mercy rather than to technical Justice,

An EXPLANATION FROM MINISTER DE Lone.
Minister De Long rises to explain that the re-
cent visit to Brigham Young was not intended
by him or the Japanese embassy. They were
under the escort OF the city authorities or com
mittee. and were taken to Brigham Young's
house after visiting other places, not knowing
where they were going. He says they had not
thought OF paying Brigham any attention be-
yond what might be proper to any private citi-
