TIE WRATHER.-Tbe weather to-day is more
wintry than any we have experienced since the
winter months set In, although the cold is far
from being intense The thermometer early this
morning, stood ct 20o, and about ninO o'clock, at
25o. A stiff breeze prevailed, which caused noses
and ears to tlnRle, and made people skip around
in q lively manner to keep warm. But nobody is
likely to freeze and feel certain that this little
cold snap is Tar more refreshing aud inVigorating
than the mild damp weather which prevailed 90
far into the winter.

FIOalIn@ Away on a Cake oflcs.

Floating Away ON q Cake Office.
Il Yesterday morning, vessel became wedged
- the Ice near North Point and could neither
move one way nor the other y One Of the
crew, a cOlOred man, thought that he would
take ramble oyer the surrounding Ice, and,
contrary TO the advice of those ON board,
extended his tour for distance Of about three
hundred yards. just as he was about to re-
trace his steps, the ice between himself and
the vessel cracked and separated with O loud
report MI
This unforeseen mishap was caused by a
large field Of hOating ice striking unperceved
just above were the vessel was lying. The
man ran to the edge of the ice upon which he
was standing, but sudden gust of wind COM
ing up at the time separated it from the main
nelqs and he was carried down the stream
Inc remainder OF the crew viewed the scene
with terror, expecting to see the ice break up
every moment and the man sent to the
bottom. The ice hoated on down the river,
and the captain, to save the mans life, had the
row boat manned and five men sent out to
his relief
They had to proceed with care, as the edges
OF nOatlng ice were very sharp. At this time
the field of ice which the man was on had
hoated half a mile, and was still going on at a
rapid rate. The boat finally came unto him,
but the floating field struck another large field
OF Ice and was shattered into small fragments.
Ihe man went down crying ont for help and
tbe boats crew pushed through the shattered
Ice with all their strength. They were able
to make but little headway.
After the man had sunk and rose to the
surface twice, he was finally rescued in an
lnsensible condition. Before the boat could
get back to the ship the mans clothing had
frozen stiff. One getting aboard Testoratives
were applied and after about half an hours
work he was completely Tesuscitated. The
poor FELLOW says he don't want to venture
upon dangerous river ice again.

NEW YORK, May 30
The custodian of the covenant entered
into April I'd, 1872, by Henry WaId
Beecher. Theodore Tilton and II. c..
Bowen, makes that instrument public THIS
morning, assigning rs q reason therefor
"the fact that Bowen has of late repeat
edly declared that he had never disavow.
ed his charges against Mr.. Beecher. but
that he yet insists on their truth" The
disavOwal, to which is attached the sigma
ture of all the above named, opens thus ::
ave three men, earnestly desiring 10

iace the disturbed past, and to provide

Ii. c. Bowen then disavows all change.
and imputations attributed to him is
made by him against Beecher, and de-
clares without reserve that he knows
nothing which should prevent him from
extending TO Beecher his most cordial
friendship. confidence and christian fee
lowship. regrelting sincerely that he
ever made any imputalions, or ipnuen-
does uniavorable to the christian charac.
ter of Beeoher, and promising never in
the future TO recur to them by word or
deed.
Theodore Tilton avows that he wi |
never again by word or mouth or othet-
wise repeat any allegations, imputatio :
or innuendoes contained in his letter c
Bowen, in which the latter is cited as Il c
author OF said allegations. etc., again
the moral and christian character Of
Beecher.
Mr. Beecher OH his part puts the past
forever out OF sight and memory, and
says. ~ deeply regret the causes of sus'
picion. jealousy and estrangement which
have arisen between us. 1t is JOY to me to
have my old regard for Henry c. Bowen
and Theodore Tilton, and happiness to
me to resume the old relations Of love

them. If l have said anything injuriou;
to the reputation of either, or have de-
tracted from their standing and fame ai

Reputed Cure for the Meningitis.

A michigan correspondent pronounces
what is known as tho cerebro' spinal me-
ningatis now prevailing SO extensively
and fatally in many parts Of the country
as the same epidemic which ragged in
Michigan about twenty-five years ago, to
such an extent that it actually broke up
the legislature. and carried TO the grave
every one whom it attacked, until the
b" old. fashioned hemlock sweats were
adopted, " after which every one was
saved. He says: "Our people sent about
twenty-five miles distant and procured
hemlock boughs. and they sent fer il from
all parts of the State. There was com
pany called the Hook and Ladder Com
pany, and for weeks they did nothing
night or day but go from house to house
giving hemlock sweats. and it never iail
ed to save in every case. Thorough
sweating might do, but there is no ms
take about hemlock sweats being spe
cilic. ."-M0nitor.
