FACT AND RUMOR.

The story of Charlie Rosa is revived by
 the simultaneous declaration that he has been
 found in the Cherokee Territory. and that he
 was probably drowned by his captors Mosher and Douglas, in New York Bay. The last story is not worthy of credence, and the first
 is discredited by the boys father There are good reasons to suspect that Westervelt, who has lately been released from prison after serving sentence for hls part in the crime
 knows more than he has vet told. He was III negotiation shortly before the killing Of Mosher for the surrender of the boy to Su
 perintendent Walling, Of the city police; a meeting preliminary to the final surrender of the child was arranged by Westervelt, and but for the overzeal of detective, whom Mosher discovered watching the rendezvous selected, the boy would probably have been returned IfWestervelt knows ot the boys whereabouts he is not likely to tell without

This crime and that of the theft of Stewards body have one peculiarity in common; the culprits are we'll known to the detectives, yet the difficulty of securing the return fchild or body seems insurmountable. e.-New York Tribune
 The ice crop in the vicinity of Philadelphia this winter has been an almost total failure. Not more than one fourth of the amount that was cut at this time last year has been ob- tained. Along the Schuylkill and Delaware rivers within a radius of twenty miles the ice-houses contain nothing except a few thousand tons of snow ice, gathered in for the exclusive benefit of ths brewers. All the l clear and cold days have been followed by snow storms, which practically rendered use- less the planings and preparations for cutting the ice-felds on the Schuylkill and Delaware rivers. Alter the ice first formed it was soon covered with anew, which soaked through until the ice became light and DO rous and was unable to bear tho weight of the planes and mules The snow has been cleared away aud the preparations for eut.,"- have been completed scores of tin,-s The very best clear ice which hes been secured i, ;' this vicinity is hot more than six inohe, thi"S..

 When we survey society and see it as it ii see man. poor man, the subject of pain ane sorrow, let his surroundings be what the, may, and learn the precarious condition of thu trmest prosperity, we must conclude tha | earth was designed for compassion. The constitution of the human soul is sucf that he who cherishes spirit ot pity for al subjects of pain, has the evidence within hin that his own short comings are forgiven. The good map. without any formal profes 1 sions of faith, draws many after him to heav- en; but the evil man by his professions O faith, and his works, drags many down te hell Far better for the world if many mar had been content with keeping the profession of his faith from the public
