THE NURDERERs LYNCHED.
IN WINTER'S CLUTCHES.
william Roberts and Ills FsmiIylPerishina
en- an Island in sight OF Help.

A Baltimore special says: About
mile north Of the little town of Port De-
post, in the centre Of the Susquehanna
river, is lonely little rock that might
by courtesy be called an island. upon
which for a number of years have lived
William II. Roberts and his family, con-
sisting Of wife and five small children.
The island is in most dangerous lOca-
tion. being repeatedly submerged by
heavy freshets, and especially in the
winter when the ice gorges, which it in
variably does at this point.
In the freshet of 1875 this island
home was almost entirely submerged,
and the family was rescued by a band
of brave men from IIavre de Grace,
who went over the ice at the risk of
their own lives. Since that time Mr..
Roberts has taken his family to Port
Deposit every fall. not returning to
the island until the ice had left
the river. Last fall Mr.. Roberts
was too sick to be removed. and the
family were compelled to remain on the
island. where they have for some time
been cut of from all communication
with the shore by the condition Of the
river. Saturday morning Mr.. Roberts
made his appearance on the island, and
attracting the attention of persons on
the shore, gave them to understand by
signs as best he could that his wife
was dead. As far as can be made out
some of his children are also dead.
1t is impossible to reach them with
any assistance, or for them TO escape
from the island with the river and ice
in their present condition, and their
situation, which is now deplorable, will
probably again become desperate when
the river breaks up. The bank Of the
river is continually crowded by specta-
tors who are forced to see family
almost within hail perishing without
being able to stretch hand to save
them. Repeated attempts have been made
to reach them. but the ice gorge piled
mountain high, with its yawning cracks
and continually-widening breaks, warns
the willing rescuers back. 1t is mad
ness to attempt it at present. When
the ice breaks the entire island will be
submerged. 1t is almost certain that
by this time Roberts's supply of pro-
visions and fuel will be exhausted.

Young xen. Christian Association

The movement in behalf of the Young

one. The scheme is briefly this To
raise funds to erect and furnish a con-
veniently~located and suitable building
to enlarge the library and reading
rooms, to connect with it lunch-rooms
where no liquor will be sold, to secure
a permanent endowment, and in all its
arrangements to make it worthy Of the
great objects for which the Society was
organized. A work like this ought to
enlist the sympathy Of all classes in
the community. Especially does it
appeal to our merchants, bankers, me-
chanics, and tradesmen who have charge
Of thousands Of our young men, and
who are in some measure responsible
for their social, moral, and spiritual
condition. Our businessmen cannot
afford to ignore or treat this cause with
indifference. They are deeply concern

those in their employment. II appears

ing for fallen creatures, refuting the
idea that lie came for either fame or
notoriety, or that God was God Of

the poverty of Christ was made rich.

produced his mitimus. showing that
Russell was sentenced by Judge Charles
Kellum. of Yorkville, to be confined i'll
