feeling with the opening Of the New

all tobaccos neatly handled, of uniform
quality, with satisfactory order and

Tilden is elected over Hayes by a
large popular majority of the people,
but that there are bold bad men deter

is, and it is strong, that there will be
enough of calm, fair minded Republi

terrible crisis. When the fanaticisn

impeachment Of Andrew johnson,
enough of fairminded Republicans

A NATURAL IcE-HoUsE.


In Chitten6en, VI, is a sort of nat
ural ice-houss which has hitherto been
comparatively little known. The
place is q narrow gorge with rock y
sides, extending down about twenty
feet, and arched overhead with trees.
Here an abundant quantity of clear
solid ice can be found during the hot
test season Of the year. In the upper
I'd of the gorge is spring of Gle, r
water, from which the leo is formed in
winter, filling the fissures and crevices
between the rocks at the bottom OF
the rayine. A gentleman visining the
spot last Saturday, one of the hottest
days we have ever known, found ice
in large quantities. One fissure eight
feet long. three feet wide and appsr-
emily several feet deep, was filled with
ice almost blue in it's beautiful clear
ness. This is the icc-house for the
people in the vicinity, and here they
obtain their supply. Last year ice
was taken out in September, and
there is reason to believe that it last.
during the whole year. The atmos-
phere in the vicinity OF the gorge is
cooled by its frozen, treasures, and
when the wind is in the right direc-
tion, change of temperature is ap-
parent half a mile distant. At wa.

rods away, fed directly from tie ice.
