Look n Leedlc Oud.-lt has been sol

Look Leedlc 0ud.--lt has been some
years since We have had an old fash
ioned january breakup" in our River
As rule, they are much more damaging
to property on the river bottoms than
spring freshets. The ice is not so rotten
and freezing weather may so strengthen
the resistive force of the ice below the
Rapids rs to form complete barrier
against the passing off OF the ice flowing
from above. In this manner, ice has been
piled mp on the f.ts at the foot of the Rap
ids to the hight of thirty feet. Everything
is favorable for such break up this win
ter. Very thick and firm ice has been
formed at the foot of the Rapids. This is
now covered with snow to the depth of
eight inches, which protects the ice against
the rays Of the sun and insures a continu-
ance of its solidity. The large quantity OF
snow lying upon the ground all over the
country drained by the Maumee River,
must make freshet, if rapidly melted by
a warm sun or carried off by rain. Thus,
| it will be seen, all the necessary conditions
for. an old-fashioned January breakup
now exist. We hope such a result may be
avoided, but those having exposed proper
ty will do we'll to keep all eye on Old Prob,
and govern themselves accordingly.

for the government of the schools. We
were also pleased to learn that the schools
had been more generally visited by parents
and friends during the present term than
at any previous torn. Az we 60 to press
before the close OF the exercises only a
brief outline of the programme can be

Fearful StOrms.-One week ago last
Friday, the weather caught cold from
very sudden change in the atmosphere,
equal, almost, in sudlenness and severity
to the "cold New Years of 1854" The
wind reached velocity Of 40 miles an
hour and the mercury reached as low as
eight aud ten degrees below zero. Many
were caught unprepared for the sudden
change and the loss in fruit, vegetables,
house plants, &c, was no small item. The
weather gradually grew more conserya,
tive and the three inches of snow that fel'
during Sunday had totally disappeared by
had repetition Of the previous week,
the wind reaching velocity of forty four
miles per hour and the mercury dowl to
four degrees below zero. The grea test
amount of damage was accomplished by
the wind. Railroad men had terrible
experience on that night. There were
four trees across the track OIL the D. & NJ.
Road between this point and Lima, which
the employees on tue passenger lTalh reach-
ing here at 6:55 A. NJ. were compelled to
remove before they could proceed. The
air was so iull Of drifting frost that the
engineer could not see but short distance
ahead, which placed the train in constant
danger both from fallen and falling trees.
Seven trees we're removed from the track
of the Penn. Road between Mansfield and
Toledo. Church steeples monuments OF
folly were blown down in some places.
Four street lamps in this village suffered
and the one in front of Mr.. LAwRENCE's 's
livery stable was completely beheaded.
Snow fell on Saturday night and Sunday
to the depth of eight inches, which has
furnished good sleighing since, and revi.
val of business and pleasure. What to-
night will bring forth remains to be deyel.

Voltaire's Old House.

fGrace Greenwood's Letters to the N. Y. Times. ]
We of course visited Ferney, which, though
only few miles out of Geneva, il yet in
France. The old chateau has been somewhat
changed since Voltaires time, yet few rooms
remain much as he left them. His chamber,
containing his bed and other furniture, with
his private pictures and prints, is actually
haunted by his strong, vital presence you
feel him at your elbow, or it seems that he
has only Just passed out into the garden.
You half look for him there and in the lovely
woods, and especially in the berceau, his walk,
a long arbor densely covered with vines, in
which he used to compose, strid!ng up and
down in his morning gown and cap, rapidly
debating to his secretaries This impression
of his imperishable proprietorship never left
us, and We were shocked to find his famous
chapel turned into stable.
1t still bears on its front the much-crltlclsed
inscription, Dio Ere1a Voltaire. which GER
tainly is startling piece of ostentation, con-
sidering the poor character of the Offering
very ugly little building. By an odd coin
cidence we found on our return from Ferney,
an invitation to attend lecture by Dr. Bacon,
to be given for the benefit Of the last remain
ing descendant of that Calas, whom the
philosopher and satirist, by almost superhu.
man efforts, saved from death after he had
been condemned to the stake, believe This
was, perhaps, the noblest act in the long life
of that benevolent, malevolent, genial, cyni-
cal, sccffing reverential, mean, magnificent
reature-Frenchiest OF great Frenchmen,
Francois Marie Arouet de Voltaire. The last
Of the CALAIS family had fallen into extreme
poverty through the death of a son, killed in
the great American war.

TEE BELKNAP CASE.

CHICAGO, March At is reported here that the
part which George T. Robinson and George J.
Arms have taken in the Belknap case has led TO an
examination OF the army records, which show
that they both lost their places in the army
through their own scandalous practices, upon
charges preferred against them by their superior
Ulcers, and after formal court-martial, and not
through the fundamentally Of the late secretary
OF War.
Geo. T. Robinson was . Captain in the 10th
Cavalry, and was arraigned before a general
court-martial at st. Louis, October %, 1874, ON
the charge Of fraud against the government
which fraud consisted in his drawing his pay re-
peatedly for the same month. The full proceed.
ings of the court show q series OF fra1d extend
ing over two years Of time practiced, not only
upon the government at New York, Philadelphia,
Baltimore, Galveston and other points, but for
false charges for goods and medical practice
Robinson also did not hesitate each time he
drew his pay to commit perjury. The court
found him guilty and passed the following SEN
tence: "And the court does therefore sentence
Capt. George T. Robinson, of the Tenth Cavalry
to be cashiered /; to forfeit to the United States
all pay and allowance now due or to become due,
and to have his crime, name, place OF abode and
punishment published in and about Philadelphia
and st. Louis"
George T. Arms was also . captain in the
Tenih Cavalry, and was tried by court-martial at
Leavenworth, Kansas, March IL, 1870, and was
dismissed from the service by command Of
Gen. Sherman. The court found him guilty Of
conduct unbeccming an officer, the otfense
being the exhibition OF obscene pictures to the
female servants at the post. Arms was also
guilty OF other offenses, such as lying, etc.
