A MAGNIFICENT SCENE.


NIAGARA FALLS, January 2.-The
continued cold weather here has ac-
cumulated enormous quantities Of
ice. The Horse Shoe fall is frozen
200 feet from either shore, in
consequence Of which the Clifton
Water Works Company have ceased
operations. They cannot control
enough water to keep their ma
chinery in motion. Their reservoirs
have run dry, and the town is with
out water supply.
The formidable icicles suspended
from the grizzly rocks are grand be-
yond description. The ice noun
tains keep working their way upward
and now reach height of about I2(
feet. The spray has made wonderful
formations. The pretty cedars ar,
so loaded with ice that they droor
nearly TO the ground. The grant
old trees on Goat Island and Pros,
pect Park are completely frosted
over, and bend beneath their heay,
coats of ice.
The the thermometer keeps be-
low zero, while heavy ice continue,
running over the falls into the rive
below and threatens every momen
to jam and form the anticipated ic,
bridge. All the ice houses in th,
vicinity are nearly filled with clea
ice twelve to fourteen inches thick
Numbers of visitors, principal,
from New York and Boston hay
found their way here to enjoy th
scenery.
