Jacob Ezekiel. Father Of the

Jacob Ezekiel, Father Of the
Jews, and well esteemed Of all men,
met with a serious accident few
days since. He was in enter and
on his way to the depot at Wenona,
where he was to take passage for
Standish, en- route for Alpena.--
The horse taking fright at the re-
volving wheels of hand car upon
the railroad track, upset the cutter,
throwing Ezekiel with great vio-
lence upon the track, bruising his
body and damaging him seriously.
1t is wonderful that he escaped as
well as he did, considering that he
is 81 years of age.--Bay City
Chronicle.

NAVIGATION AT ToLEDo.-The
tug Mollie Clark on Thursday towed
the schooner II. Il. Rice from
Sweets coal dock to the Wabash
elevators, where the latter will load
with grain. The ice to-day is ex-
tremely soft, and is gradually dis
appearing from the portions of the
Maumee River lying between the
two railroad bridges, moving out
quietly and almost noiselessly, and
navigation my be considered a
thing of very speedy realization.
Last year the ice began to move on
the Goth and 9th of March, while
on the 2Sth the first tug made her
appearance on the river. We shall
probably have a clear stream at
least ten days earlier this season
than last.-Tolcdo Blade, 14h.
