In A Dangerous Situation.

For number of years VIM. II. Roberts and
family have made their home on lonely Is
land in the Susquehanna, mile north OF Fort
Deposit, Nd During the ice freshet OF 1919
their island home was almost entirely sub
merged, and the family rescued from their
periIous situation by band of brave men
from Havre de Grace, who went over the ice
at the risk of their own lives and brought the
family safely ashore in their cunning skin.
Since that time Mr.. Roberts has been remov-
ing his family to Port Deposit every fall, not
returning to the island until the ice had lett
the river Last fall Mrs. Roberts was too Ill
to be removed, and the family were compelled
TO remain ON the island, where they have Tor
some time been cut off from all communlca
ton with the shore by the condition OF the
river. Saturday morning last MIR; Roberts
made his appearance on the island, and at
tracing the attention of persons on the shore
gave them to understand by signs and shout
Ing. as best he could, that he was in distress.
A rescue party was made up Tuesday morn
ing. who determined to risk the passage over
the rough and dangerous mass of ice between
the shore and the island, and ascertain the
true condition of the family, and render any
assistance in their power. After scrambil!ng
over the gorged ice the party reached the Is
| land safely and found that Mrs Roberts was
extremely i'll, and had suffered greatly from o
want of medical and other attention, ana tne
| family had endured much hardship.

On Friday night, January 30th, the monthly
recention and soiree occurred at New Wind
sor College. The programme announced
lecture in college hall at 7.30 p. M; recep-
ton In the parlors from 81 to 9 p. M, by the
Misses Kate SlingInff and May Z. Badly, and
Messrs. W. w. Roop and Leyburn Shorey
n soiree in the parlors at 8 p. M; a sociable
in the parlors and hall until 104 p. M.
The program was all carried ont successful
" and 10 the pleasure Of large and select
company. except the lecture. The Reverend
gentleman left his home in Ellieott City and
arrived in Baltimore in time to reach New
Windsor BY the evening train but having put
himself in charge of a cabman, between Cam
den and Fulton stations, was made to miss the
train by the stupidity of the driver, who got
lost on the way. However the lecture will
come in the near future, and we have many
reasons for expecting a good one-one of
which is that the lecturer is the Rev. Henry
Branch.
The reception in the parlors commenced
at 8 o'clock. and the committee certainly ac-
Quilted themselves handsomely and gave an
evening long to be remembered for its many
Interesting features. The soiree began at 8
~ cloek with an instrumental duet, entitled,
aSiIyerv Echoes by Miss Addie Reiss and
Mr.. John Hughes, which called forth many
complimentary remarks. Then came an es-
saw by Mr. w. w. Roop, on sWhitewash, "
which greatly amused the guests. 1t was
original and unique. The next was another
admirable instrumental Duet entitled
aMartha,n by Misses Amanda McComas and
Carrie Mason; the execution of this showed
both talent and training. The committee
then announced sSights at Rail Road Sta
ton which proved to be another essay, by
Miss Kate SlingIuff, which was quaint, as it
was original and funny, and gave reverend
gentleman touch up for missing train one
Sunday morning, with his church and con-
gregation thirty miles away.
Miss Nellie Lewis recited mo Sects in
Heaven; in manner which was creditable
to herself and her instructors, and very greatly
pleased the guests. The programme then
closed with an instrumental solo, I'll Trova-
tore,'' by Miss Bessie Jelly, exhibiting talent,
practice and thorough instruction.
The sociable, which roas sociable in the
truest sense of the word, was enjoyed in the
parlors and hall until 1890 p. m.
These monthly receptions are most en-
ioyable and profitable feature of the institu-
ton. The forms and customs practiced in
good society are taught as a regular part OF
the college course, and every student has a
grade in this, as in other branches graduated

overcome by the cold and remembers nothing

his horses to their greatest speed, but soon
sank into Inconsistencies and so remained
until he was found by his family at his barn
the team having travelled thence without
Guidance. He was taken to his house and
rrestoratives applied, by which he escaped be-

From the Union Bridge index.
Quite a sensation was caused in Middleburg
ON last Thursday night. A party who imbibes
toe freely of 'fred eye'' sometimes, had for
several nights prior forced his housekeeper
to leave the dwelling whilst he was under the
influence of the king of spirits. On the
night named the same trouble occurred. A
party of four or FIVE masked men repaired to
his quarters, with rope. They took this
fiery getleman to nearby locust tree and
hitched it to his neck, stretching him up to a
limb of the tree, causing many moanful sounds
and prayerfull promises to be made by the
frightened subject. This was repeated sever
al times, though tenderly and harmlessly,
whereupon he promised most sincerely that
he would mend his ways and never again
perpetrate such inhuman acts. They then
set him free, and with stroke Of the rope
coused him to fee to his domiclle. he ex-
pressed the belief that the parties who gave
him his well-merited chastisement were from
Union Bridge.
