\ Boys REMARKABLE PRESENCE OF MIND.
Yesterday some boys were skating on the
ice on the river below the city, when one
OF them, whose name is Robinson. broke
through the ice and disappeared from sight.
His comrades were terror-stricken, and ran
away for help, not being capable OF render
ing him any assistance. Young Robinson,
it seems, had more presence OF mind in his
great trouble than his companions. Being
a good swimmer, and accustomed to diving
and remaining a considerable time under
water, he determined to "hold his breath"
and work his way out Of an air-hole.
The current being pretty strong greatly
aided the lad, and in 4 couple OF
minutes he popped up through a
hole in the ice, and striking out with
his hands be caught the edge OF the
ice, and with difficulty he maintained his
hold, and was not swept under the ice
again by the strong current. Working his
way around the strip OF ice against which
be had lodged, he soon got footing on the
gravel at the bottom Of the river, and easily
made his way to shore by clambering out
upon the ice and skating to the bank. But
his hands were so benumbed that he was
unable TO loosen his skates, and he STUN
bled along on them some distance before he
met any one to take them OFF for him. 1t
was about supper-time, and after his COM
rades ran away in their fright to get assist
ance no one was to be seen at the river.
Before Robinson'S friends arrived at the
river he had reached home, and they got
tidngs Of his safety while they were en-
gagged in searching for his dead body with
