off, while the only means of crossing
the river was in boats. BY the way,
Ar. Henry Shay, and another railroad
man whose name I did not learn, met
with hairbreadth escape on the river
one day this week. They were work
ing in boat, breaking ice, in order to
protect the railroad bridge at Fox River
Station from damage. when the boat
was caught by an under current, which
carried it under the bridge, and finally
capsized it. The men were in great
peril of their lives, and Mr.. Shay AYERS
that be went down almost to the bot
tom Of the river. They succeeded in
getting on the bottom Of the boat,
which was turned bottom side up, and
in this way drifted some distance down
stream. They realized that the situa-
ton was not the most safe and COM
Portable, and Mr.. Shay especially, who
was feeling very chilly, as his only
hope of deliVerance, deserted the boat
and swan for shore, where he imme-
diately sought more comfortable quar-
tiers at Mr.. Albert SchenIng's. The
other man, perhaps not as skillful a
swimmer, still chung to the boat until
he landed on an island, like Robinson
Crusoe, and was rescued by the Gal
lagher boys, who came after him with
a boat and took him to their home.
where he received proper attention.
Both are to be congratulated upon
their escape and courage displayed.

Farmers are beginning to grumble
about the late spring, and say they will
have poor crops. Do not be discour-
aged. The writer well remembers the
spring of 1857. The plow started on
the 25th of April, and on a field plowed
and s0wed after that date there was
raised over so bushels of wheat Der
acre. Small grains that year yielded
well, but corn was poor crop.

this? During the blockade of 1854 the
mails were carried regular, and we see
no reason why they should not be so
