The Ice Gorge.

CINCINNATI, December 29.-The tugs
have broken up the ice between the
Newport and Covington bridges, leaving
the river free OF ice the length of the
harbor. Below the Covlngton bridge
the river is solid and was crowded with
skaters. To-day the weather is mod
Grating, with Indications of rain. II
the gcrges below break away fret or as
soon ae the gorges above. all will be
we'll. This, however, is hardly prob.
able. as the gorges below are much
heavier than those above. One Of
them is reported sixteen miles long
and filled up six or eight feet. Steam
boatnen are very anxious, and their
hope is that il will not rain, and if does
that the lower gorges will give way
first.
Fatal Accident.
A mule team ran away last night, and
the wagon attached struck one Of the
posts supporting the girderp Of Evans
rolling mill shed, knocking it down,
which caused a portion of the building
to fall. John Kreiger, twenty five
years old, an employe, was struck by
the falling timbers and killed.
Four hundred aud sixteen buildings
have been erected in this city during
the year 1872.

The Postal Telegraph Scheme.

The Postal Tele9rapn Sche"e'
WASHINGTON, December 2S.-Letters
and petitions are being received from
all points Of the country urging imme-
diate action by Congress on the postal
telegraph scheme, almost all favorlng
the simple arrangement OF the POST
master General, for bringing the lines
under Govern ment control. The agri-
cultural interests Of the country favor
the postal telegraph. in the hope o.
having lines extended all over the coun'
try, and spreading to all centres the re-
port Of the signal bureau and agrlcul-
tural colleges in all parts OF the coun-
try and are eulisting themselves on the
aide OF the Postmaster General.
Tbey believe that the plan OF
tho Postmaster General, which con
templates q union Of the telegraph
With the postofice system, the exten =
sion of telegrsphic facilities to the
smallest points offered, and a reduction
in rates OF least at one.hslf will be
adopted, OF uucalculable benefit to the

cation between the producer and con-
spmer: enable the farmer to market

last but most important, insure the

The weather reports, which have now
hscome 40 valuable to the farming
community that the signal omcer
bss been and still is seriously
embarrassed by the refusal OF some OF
the telegraph companies to grant suen
facilities as are necessary tor the

both the signal officer. and Postmaster
General express their belief that ousi-
ness can never be properly done except

The country, it is probable that Congress

WASHINGTON.
Foreign Criminals.

WASHINGTON, December 29.-An al
legged case of pardon by the Grand Duke
OF Hesse, on condition that the crimi-
nails should emigrate to America, bav-
ing been brought to the attention Of the
Hessian authorities by our diplomatic
representative at Berlin, assurances
have been given him that pardons &C
companied by conditions Of that char
actef will in no case be granted by the
Grand Duke.
Supervising Inspector of Steam
boats.
The nomination OF J. Nimmas to be
Supervising Inspector Of Steamboats, is
still tied up in the Senate through the
opposition OF steam boatmen, princi-
pally from the West. 1t will be re-
membered that Mr.. Nimmss' cop6rma'
ton was once defeated by the opposl :
ton OF steamboatmen, and bis nomina-
ton was Withdrawn, and it is feared
some influence will secure his defeat
this time. 1t is claimed there are
men OF greater ability who could be
induced to accept the position, aud as
it is one Of great responsibility, the
very best talent should be secured.
Judge Strickland,
of the United States Court, OF Utah,
called at the White House yesterday to
explain the reasons for his resignation,
which be will tender in a few days.
He says while Congress refuses or neg
lects to appropriate funds for the
proper maintenance OF the court it is
unable to administer justice.
Perpetual Motion.
A report having some time since been
put in circulation that the government
was offering large reward for the dis
covery OF perpetual motion, large
number of letters are being received
by the Patent Office Department. The
latest is from MacMulligsn, Of George
town, Colorado, who claims he has the
machine. The government has offered
no such reward and for the present ia
not interested IN the matter.
The Indians.
The recommendation by the Presi-
dent in favor OF establishing under one
government all the aboriginal Indian
tribes south of Kansas, aud the evident
intention OF Congress to act upon said
recommendation has brought here rep
resentatives Of almost all OF those tribes.
Some OF them favor it, while others op-
pose it. 1t is probable that a plan may
be agreed upon satisfactory to all par
ties.
Coal Specimens.
The United States engineers who
were engaged last season in making
surveys in Washington Territory, re-
port that in the vicinity of Puget
Sound, near the proposed terminus OF
the Northern Pacific railroad, they
have found large deposits OF coal spec-
mems, of which they have forwarded to
the Agricultural Department, for anyli.
zation.
The Secretary Of the Treasury has
directed the Assistant Treasurer at
New York to buy one million coin each
week during the month OF January,
1873.

TIE public libraries all over the North
are gradually beginning to open on
Sunday. Itisa movement that whether
it be for good or whether it be for evil
is certainly increasing II becomes all
men who have the interest OF the Sab,
bath at heart and at the same time the
benefit, the harmless pleasure OF the
classes who have least leisure, and
the removal OF temptation from
their way, to take this matter
into serious consideration. Sooner
or later, if the measure spreads as it is
doing at present at the North, we will
have to face it here. II the libraries
are open, very few will 90 into them for
religious reading. This has been
proved already at Worcester, Masss-
chusetts, and other places. On the
other hand there appears to be very
few novels taken out. As to the classes
frequenting the library, the Librarian OF
the Worcester library says:
ut has been very evident that the
rooms have been frequented for various
purposes. l have looked around with
interest TO see the character of the visi .
tors. They have been very largely me-
chanics, s,orekeepers and others, who
are occupied during the week, and
would not use library or reading rooms
much if al all, on week days"
The subject has perple1ed many good
men, and met with great opposition.
The danger is in the insidious sp-
proaches TO disregard Of the sacred
ness OF the Sabbath, and it's evil lies
more in the future than the present.

Peculiarities OF City Car Cosduc'

"Spicer," Of the Boston Commercial
notices the peculisrities Of our city car
conductors as follows:
Looking down q sroes street from
which . passenger is emerging and
dexterously avoiding his eye.
Utter blindness to the waving OF
handkerchiefs, shawls and umbrellas
by unprotected females who wish to
interfere with the drivers enjoyment BY
stopping the car.
Carrying people, especially ladies,
two or three blocks beyond where they
wish to stop, upon such pretences a.
liant got round the curve" "Balky
hoss," "Carn't stop till We git up the
hill"
Gentlemen wishing to act as conduc-
tors are only required to give their en-
tire mind to making up their trip &C.
counts and irventiug Lew methods for
knocking down" as much money as
possible. They can also eLtertain them
selves in various ways while riding over
their routes.
A pleasant little game for the con-
ductor, when hailed by person from
the street, is to say, Next car, indi-
eating one a quarter of q mile in the
rear, aud then pay no further attention
to the victim.
II Q party wishing to ride is quick
enough on his legs TO overtake your car.
and jump ou while it is in motion, stop
it just as he reaches the platform, and
then start it suddenly. This will
plunge him wildly about among the
other passengers, and show your own
"smartness.'
Pretend to be engaged in CONVERSE
ton, or courting your tickets, when any
passenger in your car wishes to alight,
until they reach up to pull the strap
themselves. Then jerk it out OF their
hands, and look at them savsgels for q
minute before stopping the Car. This
is a specially pleasant pastlme il the
passenger is lady, and viudicstes the
right OF the conducto. to manage his
own car.
Conductors can obtain great deal o'
amusement by taking on drunken men,
and allowing them TO roll around the
car promiscuously. This entertainment
is also heightened by the presence ol
ladies.
Conductors also have the privilege oI
putting their arms around every lady
who enters or leaves the car. The dir.
tier the cor ductor the more the ladies
relish it, OF course

M.RR1AGEs-A DIFFICULTY.-We call
,bs attention of those who have been
married since the 22d OF August last, to
me following extract from Article .,
S,ction %, OF the new constitution
~p,ovid.i That no license shall be
,rsnted in any city, town or village.
Without the consent OF the authorities
NJ the same first had and obtained y
This it will be seen, takes it out Of the

fceDse, as the constitution took effect
on the day on which that instrument

and would advise you to have the mat
Ter settled at once, by getting our town

Jan Mercury.
We imagine that our friend Of the
Mercury is straining point in order to
get Young folks into hot water during
their honeymoon. The license referred
70 in the clause of the Constitution
quoted, is license to sell merchandise
or transact other business, and cannot
be held 10 include the certificate which
tn. County Recorder issues, setting
forth that the parties named therein
are possessed of the legal qualifications
which entitle two souls with but a
.ingle thought, two hearts that beat as
one" TO be united in the bonds Of mat
rimony. The latter is mere cer-
tificste, and, although popularly
termed license, is not license IN the
legal and technical sense Of the term.
In fact, the Constitutional provision
referred to is already secured by the
present law. The county authorities
are not now authorized to issue a
License for the transact OF business
Of any kind without tn consent OF the
municipal officers ba-il jurisdiction,
but no person has ever before thought
that the prohibition extended to mar
