The Ohio River Frozen OYer--A Child
Supposed to have been Drowned.
Correspondence KrowEE COURIER.


LOUISVILLE, KY, January 16, 1893.
The Ohio riversis frozen entirely over.
Many barges of coal have been capsized
and boats are fast staid in the solid ice.
Your scribe was upon the icy plain with
hundreds of people this afternoon. 1t is
a grand sight to see such change-boys
and girls, large and srall, skating upon
the ice where few days past plowed the
numerous steamboats,. 1t seems that the
entire river is being turned into sport
ing field. When the ice was first form
ing one little boy disappeared, and it is
supposed that he is lost beneath the huge
body of ice. Others came near being
lost yenturing out; but there is no dan
ger of that now. 1t seems as solid as
terra frma. 1t has showed here every
day fo- three weeks, and even to-day the
f1eecy solid adorns the heavens and
envelopes the earth in wedding garment.
Many poor people here are suffering
for food and fuel. But there are so
many unworthy people in such places
that it is hard to tell who needs sympa-
thy and help. 1t would be much worse
than it is were it not for the snow falling
so regularly. Water contains a great
deal of latent heat, and when the water
freezes this heat is set free in the atmos-
phere. What wise provision of nature
to prevent the changes from being too
sudden by distributing land and water
in such proportions. Cold and heat are
similar to darkness and light in that they
are the opposites of each other. Cold
and darkness are natural powers and are
indestructable only as they are replaced
by heat and light, which are artificial in
that they are the products of the sun in
two different states. So we can make
out very we'll as long as the snow con-
tinues to form ard fall, but woe to us
when this snow begins to take up the
heat and set free upon US the cold con-
tanned in it. The longer the snow con-
tinues the severer will be the final result.
This reminds me of the manner OF some
mems lives. They remain in darkness /
because it is more congenial with their
acts. They go on from day to day, not
realizing that sooner or later they must
come to the light; and if it be soon they
will sooner come to their reward, and if
it be further off it will only be the more
severe. The process must change, and
the sooner the better. The heart must
be melted, if not by the grace of God, it
must by the flames of perdition, and woe
will be the melting. To-day if ye vii!
hear his voice harden not your hearts,"
The new year is upon us and passing
swiftly away. Those who would utilize
the opportunities of life must be awake
and active. ADELPHos.
