A SAD DROWNING.
Which Took Place in STRANGER
Creek, Day Before Yester-
dsy, Near the Perry
vile Bridge.
The Victim Unknown, but Believed
10 be the Son of A. B,
Powell.
A SAD DROWNING.

A very sad, and in some sense a yer,
mysterious case Of drowning, took plac,
day before yesterday morning in Stranger
creek, AT the ford just above the PerryvilIe
bridge, in this county, the victim being q
young man whose name is at present un.
known, although he is believed to be a
son of Mr.. A. b Powell, who lives on tn.
other side of the creek. The particulars of
the sad affair, as learned from a gentleman
who came into the city yesterday, and who
lives not far from
THE SCENE OF THE OCCURRENCE,
are as follow: The young man came to
the ford, abd the creek being frozen over
he attempted to cross on the ice, but which,
being very rotten in consequence Of the
long continued thaw, gave way beneath his
weight and percipitated him into the water.
Some children belonging TO family resid-
ing on the bank Of the creek were playing
near by at the time, and seeing the young
man disappear under the ice, and
HEARING HIM CALL FOR HELP,
ran at once to the house ard gave the
alarm, but Just as several persons rushed to
the scene Of the accident, the unfortunate
victim was going under for the last time.
The cold water Of the creek chilled him
through thoroughly almost as soon as he
vent under, and prevented him from long
himself by means OF the cakes OF
&c which surrounded him, and

The Number OF Civil and Criminal
Cases DOcketed During the Past
Year-Haydea' a = Cssc TO be Decided
Tomorrow.
The business done by the Leavenworih
County District Court during the past year
has been very large, the number of civil
cases docke,ed from the first of January,
1873, to the same date in 1879, having been
three hundred and twenty six, and the
number of criminal cases during the same
time sixty-seven. Many OF the cases have
been OF the very highest importance, and
have attracted great deal of attention.
The criminal cases, many OF them, have
been of the most exciting nature, including
several Of murder and other crimes OF a
higher order. There has been, however, no
criminal sentenced to tie rope during the
above named period, although many have
been made happy by long aud short terms
in the State PenitenGary.

EDITOR TIMES you to be a
friend Of suffering humanity, wish to call
your attention to the following facts, which
think are worthy Of consideration We
have poor house for our poor of the
county, but forget to provide for the sick
poor. II il our duty to see to this. Hav-
ing had occasion to visit ST. Johns Hos
pital few days since TO zee a sick man, |
found there large ward filled with sick
and lame men suffering from frosty feet,
and Judging from their appearance that
they were not of the well-to-do-class. | in
quired who paid their expenses whereupon
the Sister in charge informed me that they
were all kept through charity. The Sister
also stated that until within the lsst two
years the county allowed something for the
sick poor, but under the existing law the
Commissioners cannot aid the hospital,
while The Sisters will rot turn any one
away from their doors who
need shelter and hospitality, yet it |
does seem If there should be some assist |
ance rendered 10 those good ladies' We
have no hospital erected by the State or |
county, yet We pay an enormous tax for the |
support Of our poor. The good Sisters
ought to be encouraged and helped along |
by all good citizens; their doors are always |
open TO receive all sufferers, irrespective Of |
creed or nationality, but it cannot be e1-
pected Of the good Sisters TO run an insti-
tuition where il requires 30 much patience
and forbearance, unless the good citizens
manifest an interest to aid them in their
needed charity and good
works. Hoping Mr.. Editor, that they will
meet with your appreciation and sympsih,
by giving it place in your worthy paper,

THE TREACHEROls RIVER.

Apt 10 20 Through.

The condition Of the ice upon the bosom
of the treacherous Missouri is quite pre-
cirious, and the probabilities are that the
gorge will soon be broken, and that the
turbid stream will be released from the icy
cham which now binds it. The gorge at
the mouth of the Missouri is probably
broken by this time which will hasten the
general breakup The water is already
showing in various portions of the ice op-
posite the city, these holes having been
made by the action of the current, and as
soon as the smashing begins the whole
thing will go at once. Atchison will prob
ably be the first place where the break will
occur and then the whole sheet will go by
the board. There has been no ice cutting
since last Saturday except at the banks, as
the ice has been too thin 10 allow the men
TO 20 very far Out.

The French Crisis.

PARIS, January 3O.-President MacMa-
hon has resigned. Congress has been con-
voked for this evening at ak o'clock. The
election of Grevy to the Presidency appears
certain, the Left being in accord. On
this point the "Republique Francaise"-
Gambetta's organ-says: There is no
possible doubt about the issue of the pend
ing struggle. The only matter admitting OF a
difference of opinion is whether the state OF
the crisis shall continue or not. Personal
power may be definitely buried from thii
day, and the moment this is possible il
should be DONE"
The Figaro" says it is rumored that
Gems. Baurbakie, Batallile and Dubarsi
have resigned.

reau of the Lef, Gambetta proposed
Grevy for President, which was unanimous
ly approved. MacMahon asked the Min
listers to countersign his letter Of resigna-
,ion, but they refused, declaring the letter
merely personal act.
