Living in Ice for a Year.

Fish are cold-blooded creatures, as
every one knows, but the proprietor Of
the Fourteenth Ward House, on Murray
street, has sample of the piscatorial
tribe which for GOODNESS is eQualed only
in scientific annals. He is of diminU-
tive size-a ninnow, in fact-and was
brought to the establishment imbedded
in block of ice some two inches below
the surface. He had evidently been
frozen in when the ice was formed last
winter, and mas been living in comfort
able though inactive existence ever since.
That he was alive, has been alive, and is
alive at present, is demonstrated by the
fact that when removed from his icy
home yesterday morning and placed in
water he padded off comfortably and
easily, evidently enjoying release from
his long Imprisonment. The little fellow
has been living life of suspended ami
nation for nearly a year at least, but,
though it has retarded his growth, he is
evidently in healthy condition.-Nea0-

Catching Hawks.

: AS the season is approaching when
hawks are most destructive to young
poultry, method of catching and kill
ing these marauders will be in order.
It is wel-known fact that hawk will
always light in some conspicuous place
close to the poultry-yard, from which
to swoop down on his victims. Taking
advantage of this. erect a pole with a
fat surface at the top just large enough
to hold strong steel trap. Fasten this
trap by chain to staple In the pole,
and await results. No bait will be need
ed, for the hawk will be quite certain to
light on the trap and be caught. A
gentleman who has tried this method
has succeeded in killing all the hawks
in his neighborhood, and now can raise
poultry without loss, except by acct
dent. --CGIifo9 MIA Hogticulturist.

The details OF the awful calamity which has
fallen on Brooklyn it is almost impossible to
write tonight. Confusion is worse confound-
ed. The whole city is not merely in state of
fear and anxiety, but in q state of alarm. Every
street approaching the scene Of the disaster is
filled with crowds at once anxious, excited and
almost violent. About the morgue, where
hundreds OF bodies are deposited utterly I'M
recognizable, are crowds of excited people,
utterly uncomfortable. About the market
house, which has been temporarily formed into
q morgue, are thousands and thousands of
people whom it is impossible for the police to
restrain, and utterly impossible for them to
satisfy. q

scene, that closes in on all sides, q low roof

great doors IN the rear, through which gend-

ton will call up the scene as it was set last
night at IL o'clock on the stage Of the Brook

occupied the stage. The wind was blowing
strongly from the west, to which the rear or
stage entrance to the theater faced, and per-
sons entering at the stage-door enabled the
wind to blow one of the titles" against gas
jet, which ignited it. The scene-shifter, sta
toned about the stage in what is technically
called the fiies," immediately cut away the
burning scene, as instructed to do on such oc-
casions and permitted it to fall as they
thought, on the stage floor. The actors had
been alarmed by the burning fly, and were
gazing upward, giving the audience something
of warning of what was coming, but, as they
