Touching Incident. AnafTecting occurrence took place some time ago in a seaboard town in England. Six little children got into a boat on tlio beach and a mischievous boy shoved it off. Tim boat drift ed away lo sea before the children were missed. Terrible was the agony of the mothers when they knew it. A number of men went off In all di rections, every boat was on the look out until far in the night. Daylight returned, and still there were no tidings from the helpless chil dren j the day wore away, and still nothing was heart! from (hem. They wore either lost in (ho wide ocean, or buried in its unfathomable depths. A Plymouth fisherman, fishing early next morning, discovered something floating in thc.dis(ancu 5 ho boro down to it, and discover ed it (o be n bout, and in the bottom, six cliil dren nil huddled together like n nest or birds, fas I asleep—God having given them that bless ed solace after a day of terror and despair. Ho took them aboard and gladdened (heir despair ing little hearts with the promise of taking them home. Between three and four in the afternoon, the fisherman was seen in Ihe ofling, the boat astern. All eyes were fumed towards hint; (lie host spy glass in the town was rubbed again and again, and at last they could fairly see that it was the Identical boat. The news flew through (ho town—the mothers came frantic to the bench, for their were no children discerned in the boat; none to be seen In (ho stoop. Intense was (ho agony of suspense, and all alike shared it with tho parents. At last the bout came in, and the word went round, “they are all safe;” ami many slout-hrartcd men burst into tears, wo men shrieked with joy, and became almost fran tic with their unsupporfable happiness. It was indeed a memorable day ; and a prayer, eloquent nr Us rough sincerity, was offered up t<> Al nighty God, who in his Infinite mercy, had pared those innocent children from the perils ml (errors of tin* sen during that fearful night. • ivc of those children, were under five years of igo, and the sixth was hut nine years old.

For fifty three days the river has been closed. The shores of Ohio and Kentucky have been for weeks united by a bridge of crystal strong enough for the safe passage of droves of cattle and ponderous wagons with their loads and teams. But on Saturday It was evident that this phenomenon, having existed for an unprecedented length of lime, was about to bo dissolved. The sicam boatmen made every preparation in their power to m6ct the impending crisis, but were to a great cxtcift powerless. The boats were im movably fixed to the shore,exposed to the com bined fury of an avalanche and flood. Satur day night the great sheet of fee in front of the city was anxiously watched by many sleepless eyes, expecting to'see it start like a monster I from sloop and do its work of ruin. A little after eleven o’clock the ice started— The excitement was painfully intense. The bolls of all the steamers rung their wildest alarms; the steam-whistles shrieked, and it seemed that there was great grief and mortal fear expressed in their dtep hoarse roaring.— All (he river men who were not on the spot made Life’utmost haste lo the scene of action. ] But the ico stood upon the order of its going f instead of going off at once. and (he mass re mained in an uneasy condition until morning. Then Licking began lo show" symptoms of giving out with a vengeance. That stream was rising with some rapidity.and about ten o'clock I large quantities of ice were forced against the still bosom of the Ohio- There it rolled and j leaped and plunged : accumulated and crushed, j with a moaning.grating noise until one o'clock, ! when the brittle clasps of the Ohio were par -1 tinlly broken and loosed, and the Licking pour -1 od forth an angry eruption which raged across I the Ohio, and spent its fury on the boat* lying 1 at the foot of Walnut street, where it made half a dozen wrlftks. Persons looking down Main, Walnut, or Sy camore streets to the river, where recently all things have been motionless, behold a vast whirlpool of dingy lee running at dizzy spepd in lumps of all Imaginable shapes, many of which seemed inspired with individual life, so strange and complicated were their evolutions, and so apparently unaccountable Ihcir Vertical fnovcnicnis. It Was a-ehoas of wrecked ice bergs, a nmclstrtnh choked with tho debris of a frozen zone and struggling to annihilate the tumultuous fragments.

S awoke me and asked mo to accompany him, and I consented, taking with me the! small package of medicines which I always earned into tho forest; but 1 learned soon there ,was no need of these, for her disease was past cure. .“She is a strange child,” said the Colonel; “her father is a strange man. They live to gether {done on the bank of the river. They come here three years ago, and no one knows whence or. p’hy. lie has money nnd is a keen shot- The child has been wasting away for a year past. .1 have seen her often, nnd she seems gifted’with a marvelous intellect. She seems sometimes to be the only hope of her fa ther.” . We had reached the hut of the settler in loss than a half an hour, and entered it reverently. The scene was ono that cannot be easily for gotten. There were books and evidences of luxury and taste lying on the rude table near the small window, and tho bed furniture on which tho dying girl was lying was as soft as the covering of a sleeping queen. I was of course startled, never having heard of these people before; but knowing it to be an un common thing for misanthropes to go into the tfoods to l ; ve and die, 1 was content to ask no explanations, more especially as the death hour was, evidently near. She was a fair child, with masses of long black hair lying over lier pillow. Her eyes were dark and piercing, and as they met mine she started slightly, but smilul and looked up ward.
