THE STANDING COMMITTEE
Of the Protestant Episcopal Diocese OF
New York held meeting last night to
take action upon the election OF Drs. De-
Koven aud Jaggar. After a secret ses-
SION of over two hours a final vote was
taken, and the committee refused, by a
decisive majority; TO confirm the choice
Of either as Bishop.
The members refuse to give the vote on
the division or to state the grounds OF
the objection TO the candidates. This
action is considered fatal to DeKoven's
chance, but i, is believed Jaggar has se-
cured majority Of the committees vote,
and will be consecrated.

II dozen different locomotive engines

II a dozen different locomotive engines
were made at the same time, OF the same
power, for the same purpose, of like ma
terials, in the same factory, each of these
LOCOMOTIVE engines would come out with
its own peculiar whims and ways, only
ascertainable by experience. One en-
CINE will take great meal of coal and
ater at once; another will not listen to
such a thing, but insists on being coaxed
by spadetuls and bucketfuls. One is dis
posed to start off when required at the
top of it's speed; another must have a
little time to warm at his work and to
get we'll into it. These peculiarities are
SO accurately mastered by skiilful driv-
ers that only particular men can per-
suade engines to do their best. 1t would
seem as if some of these ''eXceilent mon
sters" declared, on being brought from
the stable, ''If it's Smith who is to drive,
l won't go; il it's my friend Stokes, am
agreeable to anything" All locomotive
engines are low-spirited in damp and
foggy weather. They have a great sat.
isiaction in their work when che air is
crisp and frosty. At such a. time they
are very cheerful and brisk, but they
.stfbngiy object to haze and mists. These
are points Of character on which they
are united

Jones has returned to town from
Poughkeepsie. He went there at the in
yitation of friend TO indulge in sail
in an iceboat. To Jones such locomo-
ton was novelty, and he accepted the
invitation cordially. There was high
wind, and the boat containing Jones and
mis- friend started of at u fearful rate
too fast for Jones' hat, which left his
head an instant after the craft had got
ten under way. The speed attained was
terrible. Somehow or another Jones be-
came giddy and fell off the boat on to the
ice, but his coat caught on nail at the
side, and poor Jones, in sitting posi-
ton, was reluctantly obliged to accom-
pany the boat at the rate Of seventy-fve
miles an hour. Finally the coat gave
way, and Jones and the boat separated,
jones to the right with fearful impetus,
and the boat to the left. An air hole
eliminated jones' sad career. When
they tished him out with a boat hook,
which caught him in the tieshy part .ol
his frozen body, he indulged.in language
more substantial than elegant, and in
quired for his triend--the owner OF the
iceboat - in earnest tones. He was
very much embarrassed when he reached
the hotel on shore, and us the fashion Of
very long overcOals is not universal i'll
the country, he could not borrow such a
garment, and so was shown to his room
by way OF kitchen and back staircase.

Our readers will remember the mar
vclous fish story which came from
Port Dover o few days since. NOT
few people refused to give 1t credence,
but we have the word of well-knowh
citizen, that the authors OF the story
are reliable and veracious men. Inc
substance Of the narrative was that the
ice is so extensive in Lake Erie, anu
covers so completely the entire SURFACE
of the lake, that the water has iost its
proportion of oxygen, and that the hsh
are starving in consequence: a Gre.
vice having been opened in the ice a,
Port Dover, the fish rushed 10 IL anu
leaped upon the ice in their eagerAess
to get oxygenized water. we nave
now a story almost equally remarkable
from our section-quitea as noteworthy,
| in fact, in point OF showing how un.
usually extensive is the ice covering OF
the lakes. A gentleman, who ls q res
ident upon the shore north OF tins city,
saws that large numbers of ducks are
tiying to the shore and dropping ex'
hausted. to die of starvation, because
they find no water in the lake, and
consequently are deprived OF their sup
Div of food. Our informant is per
fectly reliable gentleman, and tells
only what he has seen. 1t does MOI
follow, of course, from the above state
ment; that there is no open water IL
Lake Huron. But the fact that the
water fowl are dying in the mannel
J stated shows conclusively that thel
starve to death In their search ior tn'
open water in which they. get thel
food. We are told the number OF low
found dead along the shore are very
great, and that the circumstance Is un
precedented, so far as is known among
the inhabitants OF that region. I'M
y is but one more evidence of the unpar
alleled severity of the past winter.
