BAY CRY, February 23.-lntelligence
reached here to-day that at 8 O'Clock this
morning, in the lake, cake of ice, several
miles In extent, broke off from the shore in
Saginaw bay, at point east ofthe mouth
OF the river, extending down the east shore.
On this field Of ice there were fully three
hundred fishermen, several teams and
sleiehs. The men are well supplied with
shanties, food, and fuel. When last seen
they had drifted several miles northwest.
when strong southwest wind, shifting to
the westward, drifted the ice toward the
east shore of the bay. y
Latest reports from Sebewaing this
evening says that fifty men made a
landing there. Other reports from various
points say about two hundred have es-
capped. Two men, named Ell. j. Smith and
John Fourier, of Banks, arc known to
have been drowned. The ice is solid. and
ranges from twelve to twenty inches in

SUDDEN DEATH OF A PROMINENT
YOUNG CITIZEN OF RICHMOND Our
city has met with quite a serious loss by
the "a, death Of Albert Hill, esq, Of the firm
Oh waiter 4: Martin " Co.,, This sad event
occurred this morning, at about fifteen
minutes past one o'clock, at the residence
OF his father-in-law, Colonel J. W. Wrenn.
on the Westham plank road. He had
repaired thither last evening with his lady
to spend the evening, and when he left the
city, was apparently in his usual good
health and spirits. At about 70 O'Clock
he was taken with a severe pain in The
head, and in a few moments was uncon.
scious, and death ensued at Ills. Deceased
was very large and ,fieshy, and it is sup
posed died from lappoplexy. He was a
son OF the late Richard Hill, jr., esq.,, of
thus city, and was about % years of age.
lie was an admirable business man. and
socially possessed many traits which
endeared him to his friends. q, 10 8, bs,lss

Newspaper. Domestica,Iy considered

Newspapers DOmesticalIy Considered
Too low an estimate is apt to be set on
the domestic value Of newspapers. A fter
reading them, and putting ourselves,
through their agency. in mental correspond
ence with the world, they are thrown
aside and forgotten. But to suppose their
usefulness bounded by their news columns
and the waste-bag is thriftless mistake.
In the first place, there are the house,
hold recipes, to be found in stray corners,
often excellent, and deserving a refuge on
the fy-leaf of the family cookbook.
Then come the pretty verses, the strange
and droll stories, the brief biographies and
"reminiscences which, pasted in scrap
book, are source Of never-ending pleasure
not only to those who do not care for
richer intellectual food, but to those who
have only odd minutes for reading. ,,
Notwithstanding the squibs jocular
journalists have penned on the use OF news
papers for bed-clothing, we know from ex-
perience that these are not to be despisei.
They may not be as comfortable as your
blankets, but certainly they keep out the
cold. Two thicknesses Of paper are bet.
ter than q pair Of blankets, and in the
case of persons who dislike the weight of
many bed.clothes, they are invaluable.
A spread made Of double layer of pa
pers between acoveriDg of calico or chintz,
is desirable in every household. The pa
pers should be tackled together with thread,
and also basted to the covering to keep
them from slipping. An objection has
been made on account Of the rustling, but
if soft papers be chosen the noise will not

terpane. - gnal- 4LiF 1. p. ih'',s y
Asa protection to plants against cold,
both in and out Of doors, nothing is better.
If newspapers are pinned up over night at
window between pots and glass, the
flowers will not only notbe frozen, but will
not even get chilled, as they are SO liable
to be at this season. In the same way, if
taken to cover garden-beds, on the frosty
nights of early autumn, they will allow the
plants to remain safely outdoors some
time later than is common. 80 -
One OF the oldest services to put our
journals to is the keeping Of ice in summer.
An ingenious housekeeper recently discov-
cred that her daily lump of ice would last
nearly twice as long when wrapped in
newspapers, and placed in any kind of COW
cred box, as when trusted solely to refrig-
orator. This is very convenient, since It
is possible to have the best and cheapest
refrigerator constantly at hand.
To polish all kinds of glass after wash.
ing, except table glass, no cloth or flannel
is half so good as anewspaper; and for
bakers dozenof other uses, quite for
eign to its primal purpose, it is without a
rival. Home and Society,"" ,Scribner's

A Breach-of-PrOmisc Case

Amelia Donnerschlog, young Germa,
lady, brought suit before Justice Bapyon o
chicago, one day last week, against Angus
Behrens, for breach of promise, claimint
500. She would have sued for more. bu
5000 is the limit of the jurisdiction of a Jus
tee. The complainant stated that she hat
known the defendant in Germany, and hat
become engaged to him there. He hat
em,grated to this country in order to carr
a home. and had followed him in the course
ola year. The young man admitted the
engagement, and added a.i'
"When this young lady came over here
from Germany, she did ask nae to marry
her, and l was ready to, aud told her
was. But she said that her mother must
live with us and keep house for us. I told
her had watched the ways of her mother,
and that l was not pleased with them :
that l loved her very deeply, and was
ready to marry her, but I did not wish to
marry her mother also, who was a woman
OF lcrdly and unpleasant habits, and in
sisted upon feeding me too much upon cab

like for. am ready. your honor, to marry
her now, providing that she will leave her
mother out In the cold but will not marry
the old woman. / have made up nv mind
to that, no matter what comes.1
The justice asked Behrens which he
would rather do, pay down 5000 or marry
the young lady and have her mother live
with them? and Behrens answered firmly,
II will pay the $780," And then, if we
may believe an account in the Chicago
Tribune, Justice Banyon was delivered of
Ibis remarkable language: 4. M
ALLOW me to shake hands with you. I
envy your firmness There was period
IN the life Of this court, Mr.. Behrens,
when it was placed in circumstances some

would have saved about twenty-five years
u misery and unhappiness. The alterna.

I The ROMANCE OF A Poor YOUNG
WoMAN.-On Sunday morning last be-
tween 3 and a O'Clock young aud hand
some woman attempted to Jump into the
East river of New York. She was pre-
vented and said, in answer to questions,
that she was tired of life and had nothing
to live for. She was taken to the York
street station, and on being brought before
a Brooklyn justice was discharged. She
gave her. name at the time as Nettie Gray,
aged twenty-three, of No. IS Third avenue.
Yesterday morning she attempted to
commit suicide in the same manner. She
was sitting in the ladies' cabin of the fer
ry-boat Minnesota, of the Grand street
line, on the 9 O'Clock trip to Williams
burg. When the boat was in mid.stream,
she left the cabin, got over the chains, and
jumped into the river. Her dress buoyed
her up, but the boat being under full
head of steam left her behind. She drifted
with the tide, and Captain Joslyn, of the
Houston street ferry-boat Gerard Stuyves-
ant, which was crossing the stream
at the time, reversed his engines
so as to catch her. She drilted against
the guards of the ,Stuyvesant, and was
lifted on deck by one of the deck hands.
Officer Collins took her to the eleventh pre-
cinct, where she was attended by Police
Surgeon Maclay, and taken to Bellevue
hospital. Inquiry at number sixty-fiye
Third avenue showed that the unfortunate
girl had hired an attic room there about
seven months ago. She kept late hours,
which fact was accounted for by the i'm
preston that she was theatrical tailoress.
She refuses to make any statements re.
garding her previous career.--N. \. Times.

After the reading Of the journal, Mr..
