Deaths

| VIM. Wilt died Of consumption in this

WABASH, Jan. %. 1875.
EDS. HERALD: A grand skating party,
composed chiefly Of young folks, assem-
bled on the evening of the 18th, at the
mill pond of Mr.. William Sturgeon, one
mile north of Rockville. An area of about
three acres of solid ice, from three to four
inches thick, furnished basis, inviting in
the extreme, to the most accomplished
skater, nor was there ever a smoother sur
face than that which marked this exquis-
ite sheet Of ice; so smooth, indeed, did it
seem to some, that they lay for the most
part prostrate~upon it and could not be in
duced, through the kind persuasions of
friends, to abandon so humble a position.
Sad experience alone in the art of skating
suficed, and they could be seen, one by
one, seeking surer footing on terra frma
Those more skillful in the art were the re-
cipents of different fate; the enioyments
of the festivities Of tho evening lay with
in their reach only and it was with look
of sympathy they beheld their chilled
companions victims of remorse, strolling
about upon the shore.
Contributing to the grandure Of the oc-
casion was the serAne rays of the moon;
not even cloud appearing in the zenith,
under which to conceal itself for an in
stant. calmer atmosphere was never
inhaled, nor one more inNgorating to out
door exercise. Lofty cliffs and tall ccdars
added to the picturesque scenery round
about while the mist Of snow which COW
cred the ground served as a reflector tc
the oblique rays of moonlight.
4 Fortunate for all, no accident occurred
to disturb the recreation Of the evening
and at 10 O'Clock pm. the party dispersed
leaving what seemed, few moments be
fore all CAVITY and life, place Of death
