"She's broken" was the lRConlc eiAcula'
ton a pious reporter heard yesterday
morning while on his way to Sabbath
School. The application OF gender to things
iuanimate ia sometimes %perplexing, but in
this instance it did not require much as
tuteuess to penetrate the meaning otthe
above term. The guileleSs scribe knew on
the instant that the iCe'bound river had
broken It's letters and that one Of the grand
est spectacles Of nature could be witnessed
without money and without price. And
80 It proved to be. The first start was
made at $3.50 o'clock in the morning, but
the ice stopped alter moving about seven
feet, Then, like a giant resting after a &c.
we're struggle to gather fresh vigor and re-
uewed strength, it remained passive until
$3.50 A. NJ, when, shaking of its sleep, it
quiyered, trembled and then burst TIE
bonds that held it at bay and became q
resistless, unconqueraple tide that nothing
short OF the eternal hills could cope with.
THE SECOND TART.
The echoes OF the Sabbath School bells
had scarce died away when the peaceful
stiffness OF the morning was disturbed by
the shrill, piping sound Of steamboat
whistles, accompanied by the changing Of
the deep toned bslls-wild, weird and uu-
harmonious music. The ice was moving
and danger was imminent. The alarm
soon brought the people to the banks to
witness the spectacle. 1t was q grand
siRht and fully repaid those who lett, the
breakfast table or arose from O warm bed.
From bank to bank there was nothing but
ice; the marshaled forces OF winter like an
inyinClble army was moving grandly and In
perfect time after receiving sudden march
log orders. Like a painted panorama II
rolled along at a slow but sure pace, only
the picture was not varied; the unbroken
expanse being u~nrelieVed by color, shade
or lint. The shores, however, were COW
cred with the broken edges, the tragments
