NARROW EscAPE.-On last Thursday, while
playing at the rink In the Fourth ward, Genie
Miller, small lad, son of Mr.. Lou, Miller, of
Sherrick & Miller, broke through the thin ice and
became thoroughly soaked and chilled. He
crawled ont as best he could, and started to leave
the rink, but before he had got away from the
treacf erous ice he broke through again, and by
the time he got sout he became thoroughly ex-
hausted, and laid down on the ground near the
rink, in stupor, where he was found by other
boys some time after and removed to alneighbor
ing house. He was stiff and speechless but rub
bing and rolling him about in warm room soon
brought him to, and he was able to tell who he
was and where he lived,when he was taken home.
It was evident from his condition, that, had his
discovery by the boys been much later, he would
have been beyond resuscitation,
