A YOUNG man fell OH the ice and broke
his left arm, yesterday afternoon. We
did not learn his name.
"RoMAScE and Reality" at school
Hall on Friday night.
SINCE the opening of the new route to
Chicago, by the B. u o. Railroad Com
PAW, four of the conductors Of the Cen
trail Ohio Division have been transferred
to the new route, and run trains from
Wheeling to Sandusky City, overy 200
miles This is Il little rough on the con-
ductors, but a good thing for the pas
sengers, as more gentlemanly and accom-
modating conductors than "Sam Settler
and "Joe Hutchinson don't follow the
business Of punching tickets, and we
think we can say as much of Lane and
Roster, for We have always found the
officers and employees Of the Central Ohio
to be men Of the right stripe.
THE bright anticipations of the glori-
Gus sleighing and cone thing and an
other" that our sporting young people
were going to have, has proved future.
There is plenty of the "friz' but not
enough of the ''beautitul snow.
WHERE was "Cull" going to yester-
day evening He looked as though he
wanted somebody to say something to
him.
WE noticed men and boys crossing the
river to-day on the ice, and many small
boys skating on it near the center. We
regard this rs rather dangerous sport,
owing to the condition Of the ice, and
parents should see that stop Is put to it
Immediately, or We may have the meIan-
choly duty to record the drowning OF
some of their BOYS.
WE had thought that Bcllairc whisky
had lost its power to fetch the answer,
but find We were under mistake, for
notwithstanding the fact that Jack Frost
has been on a crusade against 1t for ,ry-
eral days past, yet its tangIe-leg proper
ties are in no wise diminished, A scene
which We witnessed on Belmont street
last evening, of four young men trying TO
take each other home, proves to our mind
that the benzine Is all right yet. 1t may
require heavier dose TO do the same
amount Of business, and we are inclined
20 that opinion, for one Of the parties
alluded to above seemed to have it in his
lcgs rather worse than the Others. They
were trying for some time 10 accomplish
the task of taking each other home, but
we don't know whether they succeeded or
not.
The present l. splendid time for put
ting up ice, and our ice men are making
the best use of the opportunity, BY cut
ting and storing it away in their ice
vaults.
NAVIGATION has at last closed at this
point. The large amount of floating ice
in the river has been catching and gath
cring against the piers Of the b. X o.
bridge for some days past, and the severe
freezing on Saturday and Sunday nights
entirely closed the river, and no boats
have put in an appearance from above or
below. If the present cold weather con-
tnucs awhile it will have serious effect
upon trade in our city, ms our extensive
manufacturing interests are greatly de-
pendent on the river for the tranSpor-
tation of their productions, and should
navigation be closed for any length of
time, it will seriously effect the business
interests, not only of these establish
ments but of the entire community. We
hope however that the closing will he of
short duration, and that the river will
soon again be rolling onward.
The passenger train on the p. " c.
Railroad due here at ll:lO \. NJ, was
two hours late yesterday on account of
some accident happening in Allegheny
City about the time they were leaving
there.
THERE will be a regular meeting OF
the Town Council tonight. Bad gram
mar, bad blood, &c, will be the order Of
the evening.
SEVERAL arrests were made Yesterday
for violation of an ordinance of our
city, which requires owners or occupants
of property to remove snow and lee from
the pavement in front Of such property.
Among those arrested was the President
of our City Council, +. &. Morgan, the
father of the ordinance, the wharf and
the big water works engine. They were
all fined, and allowed 10 go on their way
rejoicing. Several more cases are pend
ing. ard will be disposed Of to-day.
