J<UILUT.
Y. T. seems to be in happy frame Of mind
over the ice and snow which collects on his
sidewalks, and as Josh Billings would say is
inclined to be 'sarkastick" in his remarks
about the same. If he likes to make his bed
on ice foot thick "Barkis is willin," but for
ourselves we had rather be excused, and while
we have not advocated the clearing of all the
cutters in the city, we are still of the opinion
that it might be done in our principally travel
led streets and at a trifing expense compared
with the safety and convenience of the cer.'
munty. We hope, however, if is-should be
undertaken Y. q will BE- allowed to possess his
ice bed in peace, as 1t would be pity to dis
turb his sublime and cool repose. G. L. X.

NARROW EscaPE.-Last evening, betwe en-
seven and eight o'clock, the crew of a vessel off
Union wharf were startled by cries from men
struggling in the water. Immediate measures
were taken to rescue them, and after much ex-
ertion two men were fished from the water.
They gave their names as George Allen Of Cape
Elizabeth, and Francis O'Brien of this city.
Evidently oblivious of what they were doing
they drove to the wharf and the horse turn
ing suddenly, they were thrown out. The team,
which belonged to Allen, was found upon the
wharf. The men had very narrow escape in
deed from death. Had it not been for the for
tunate presence of the manned vessel, watery
grave would have been their fate. Hereafter
such ''short cuts" to the Cape will not probably
be attempted. The men were taken to the
police station and with much difficulty resusci-
tated, the services of the City Physician being
