Ice, and to Whom It Belongs.
THERE is vastly more Ice in the
world than fire, yet fire is mentioned
a hundred times where ioe is once.
Books on nuisances, collisions and like
subjects do not treat about it, though ice
on the sidewalks and in the water spout
is an undoubted nuisance, and at sea it
often causes dangerous collisions. Lately
the ice question, or at least the question
of to whom does the ice belong, has been
getting into the Courts. Generally
speaking, at least in this region, it is
considered that whoever owns the
stream or pond in such a way as to be
entitled to use the water is the owner of
the ice. Cutting aud carting the ice is
only one way of using the water, and
because another person may have a law
ful right to drive down the banks to
ford the stream in summer or cross the
ice in winter, it does not follow that he
may cut the ice as if it belonged to
nobody. It belongs to the general
owner of the premises, and he may use
it himself or lease it away, as It is the
practice of the Sohuylklll Navigation
Company with the Ice on the levels of
their canal. But In case the water
where the ice formed is some river like
the Bchylklll or Delaware, so that no
particular person is the owner of the
land, the question arises, who Is the
owner of the Ice?
A Bt. Louis Court recently decided
that wliatever law there Is for such
oases is to the effect that Just as the
water lu the summer is common prop
erty and may be dipped up by any one,
bathed in, and belongs to whoever first
appropriates It, so any one may go upon
the ice and mark off a reasonable
quantity, after which other persons will
not be allowed to interfere with him in
gathering the portion staked off. It
seems that certain men went out upon
the frozen Mississippi river and after
finding a spot where the ice was clear
and good, they staked out a claim sim
ilar to the prospectors in the mining
regions. They marked the corners with
stakes arid then commenced plowing
around with a snow plow. They left
men in charge to keep it swept clean
until a good day came to gather it, but
when they returned for that purpose
they found a rival dealer with fifty men
employed in cutting ice. The claimants
were driven off, with no loss of life,
however, and the rival went on cutting
and housing the ice. The Court said
that this was a "high-handed outrage,"
the surface of the Mississippi river, solid
or fluid, was free to all, and whoever
marks and prepares a plot of Ice for
market is entitled, as first comer, to
gather it unhindered by competitors.
Michigan has the boss ice suit, how
ever. It seems that a certain Mr. Coats
had a nice pond on Ills farm. One cold
day last winter an ice dealer named
Illgglns came strolling along. He offer
ed Coats fifty cents for the ice on the
pond, which that gentleman very read
ily accepted. The bargain was made as
they stood talking near the pond, and
without any writing. Now Coats knew,
or thought he did, just law enough to
understand that he owned the ice be
cause he owned the land, and that you
can't sell land even fifty cents' worth
without a deed or written agreement.
A few days afterwards a rival dealer
named Bkeen came along. He offered
Mr. Coats five dollars for the ice. Mr.
C.'s gigantic mind Immediately grasped
the idea, and he closed the bargain on
sight, repudiating the sale to Higglns as
he had signed no Writing. The con
sequence was that Bkeen and Higglns
went to law. During the law suit the
lawyers and jury used part of the ice in
cobblers and brandy smashes, and the
rest melted and ran away. But the
great principal remained for controversy,
and a few days ago the Supreme Court
decided that ice is not real property
not like crops and trees but only "water
froae." Drawing up wrlttn papers is
not needful when you buy fifty cents'
worth of ice on a pond ; at least that
has been decided in Michigan.
Terrible Experlenoe with Snow In the West.
Salt Lake City, Utah, January 16.
Bnow has fallen almost continuously in
Wahsatch Mountains about the heads
of the Little and Big Cottonwood Rivers
since Christmas. The mountains sur
rounding the mining town Alta are
steep and the trees are cut off. The
tramway sheds of the Wabash and Jor
dan Valley Railroad have been swept
away in several places for five miles
below Alta, rendering ingress or egress
almost impossible. Two weeks ago a
snow slide carried away a man named
Darby. The storm increased in fury
with the opening of last week. On
Wednesday night the snow fell in sheets
and the wind became a hurricane.
About 10 o'clock a snow-slide carried
away the flagstaff, one house and four
hundred feet of the railroad sheds, and
swept across the flats and the creek to
the opposite mountain. Later another
slide passed over the Victoria and Im
perial houses, burying two men, who
dug their way out, in ten hours. Con
tinuing it swept away the Grizzly Boarding-house,
in which were Mrs. Jonathan
Hosklns and four children, Charles
Bymons, Robert Howath and Evan
Morris. Of these Mrs. Hosklns and her
daughter Jane, Howath and Morris
were killed. Another slide smashed
and buried the Toledo Works and boarding-house,
killing Charles Barbrldge and
Frank Laporte. On Thursday and Fri
day work was stopped at the principal
mines aud many of the men left the
canon for the valley. The storm con
tinued and Increased in fury, the wind
blowing a gale and piling the snow just
over the crest of the hill north of Alta
on the Alta side. The great weight
started and the slide, half a mile wide
on Friday night, which would have
completely demolished Alta but that it
was split and partially diverted by a flat
area just above the head of Main Street.
It struck a large and heavily-built stone
store in which five men were gathered
for safety. Two of them, who were
sleeping in the second story, were
thrown out, but were comparatively un
hurt. Three had taken refuge In the
basement and built a fire, namely John
Fitzgerald, P, B. Lee and William Hoi
llngshead. The house was crushed in
on them and fired from the stove, and
they perished. Richard Williams and
John Washington, who remained to
look after the Joab Lawrence property,
with instructions to sleep In the tunnel,
are missing. The avalanche swept away
every building owned by the Joab Law
rence Company, together with their
tramway, Inflicting a loss of $20,000.
It buried the Buffalo House, but three
men had retired into a tunnel and were
rescued exhausted. Fifty people came
down last night, leaving about twenty,
who for various reasons could not get
away. The trip down was fearful.
Leaving their homes with nothing but
the clothes on their backs, the women
wallowed through the snow as best they
could, the men carrying the children.
There remains enough mountain-slope
still undermined to complete the destruc
tion of the town, and it may slide any
moment. Eight miles of the Upper
Big Cottonwood are said to be one
huge slide covering every thing.
A big slide in Mayfleld Gulch has block
ed the creek for four hundred yards
and made quite a lake. While there is
no loss of life yet reported from the Big
Cottonwood the miners are leaving the
canyon as fast aa possible. When the
snow becomes deep and heavy on the
steep mountain-slopes an avalanche
may be started by a party wading across
their face, or by a concussion. Some
times a blast far underground will do It.
Eating Horse Beef.
The following story is told by an old
physician of Worcester County :
I was called into a neighboring town to
visit a patient. It being about the mid
dle of the day, the old gentleman of the
house ( over 60 years old) invited me to
stop and dine. While at dinner, he
says
" I don't know as you like my din
ner." " Why yes," said I, " I do like it very
well ; it is very good."
" I guess that you don't know what
you're eating?"
" Why, yes I do," said I" it is some
new corned beef."
" Ah," said the old gentleman, " It is
horse beef."
I don't believe it." I replied.
" It is," said he, " I declare it is some
of my old mare."
I was not much acquainted with him at
that time. I looked at him, supposing
him to be joking, but could not discover
a muscle of the face alter or change. I
hadjuBt taken another piece on my
plate and a mouthful of the second slice
in my mouth : and in fact it was horse
meat sure enough. I could taste it as
plainly as my olfactory nerves would
discover the scent of an old horse. The
more I chewed it, the more disagreeable
it tasted. I continued picking a little
sauce, which I could swallow, but the
meat, as the negro said, would not go.
I at last gave a swallow, as I do with a
dose of physic. I thought that I should
have thrown the contents of my stom
ach up at the table. I afterwards tasted
a little sauce, but took care not to put
any more meat in my mouth, and kept
time with the family. Glad was I when
dinner was over. It being cool weather,
the old gentleman went to smoking and
telling stories. At last he says
"I won't leave you in the dark about
your dinner. I told you we bad horse
meat for dinner, and so it was. I told
you it was some of my old mare, and so
it was ; for I swapt her away for a steer,
and that was some of the beef."
I have ever since been glad that the
old gentleman put the joke upon me,
for I never should otherwise have known
how far imagination would have carried
me.

Some Strange Facts,
Within a very near approach to truth,
the human family inhabiting the earth
has been estimated at 1,000,000,000 ; the
annual loss by death is 18,000,000. Now
the weight of the animal matter for this
Immense body cast Into the grave is no
less than 634,000 tons and the decomposi
tion produces 9,000,000,000,000 cubic feet
of matter. The vegetable productions of
the earth clear away from the earth the
gases thus generated, decomposing and
aBslmulatlng them for their own in
crease. This circle of changes has been
going on ever since man became an oc
cupier of the earth. He feeds on the
lower animals and on the seeds of plants
which in due time become part of him
self. The lower animals feed upon
herbs and grasses, which in their turn,
become the animal ; then by its death,
again pass into the atmosphere, and are
ready once more to be assimilated by
plants, the earth or bone substance
alone remaining where it is deposited.
Ugliness of Sin.
Perhaps you have seen some one all
marked and scarred by disease, who was
once beautiful, but never can be so
again. That is what sin makes of us.
Of some sins you can see the ugly tra
ces. Temper wrinkles the face and
makes it unlovely. Drunkenness leaves
foul and unmistakable marks. But we
have very dim eyes, and are apt to de
ceive ourselves ; and often what is very
loathsome In God's sight looks well
enough in ours. Only remember he is
never deceived, aud to hlra there is just
one ugly thing in the world, and that is
sin ; and Just one beautiful thing and
that is goodness.
sWPrayer is the great remedy against
anger, for it must suppose it in some de
gree removed before we pray, and then
it is more likely it will be finished
when the prayer is done. We must lay
aside the act of anger as a preparation
to prayer ; so that if a man, to cure his
anger, resolves to address himself to
God by prayer, it is first necessary that
by his own observation and diligence he
lay his anger aside, before his prayer
can be fit to be presented : and when we
so pray, and so endeavor, we have all
the blessings of prayer whioh God hath
promised to it to be our security for suc
cess. STWhat numberless perplexities,
and difficulties, and dangers shall we
escape by having our conversation in
heaven ; and thereby making God our
Refuge and Strength 1 Many cares and
temptations under which we now sink
would at once vanish away, if we con
sidered ourselves as citizens of heaven,
and if our only joy was that onr names
are written there. But how can we ex
pect that heaven should be our portion
hereafter, unless our heart and our
treasure are there now.
O" Abiding sorrow for sin is quiet.
It is all from God, and all of God. We
love because much has been forgiven,
and we always remember how much it
was. We love because the softness of
sorrow is akin to the filial confidence of
love. David gives It a voice, " Wash
me more and more, O Lord ;" and the
whole Church throughout the world has
adopted his Miserere, and is -continually
crying, Wash me more and more.
tSTThe young man who shirks his
duties as often as possible never suo
ceeds in life. You may set It down
that sooner or later he will be a drone
in the great hive of human industry.
If you begin life a shirk, you may set
it down as a fixed fact that the habit
will follow, you through life, and
instead of a success, you will be an
utter failure.
tSTOne watch set right will do to set
many ; but, on the other hand, one that
goes wrong may be the means of mis
leading a whole neighborhood ; and the
same may be said of the example we
each set to those around as.
tSTWith every exert'on the best man
can do only a moderate amount of good ;
but it seems in the power of the most
contemptible individual to do incalcula
ble mischief.
