has a large gang of men at work sawing out the drift ice which has lodged behind tbe dike, and it will be floated out to make room for solid ice if the cold weather lasts. It ban been remarked as wonderful that none of tbe dwellers of ihe miserable ihantles on 'the have yet boon frozen to death. Many of the houses are only sheds 'and the occupants are lazy and shiftless. The Provident Association is doing good work towards relieving temporary 8 ifferlng there. The signal service predicts that the ild weather will last for nearly a week yet without any material break.

Irl Hicks, the Louis weather prophet, is treading the frosty air With a lightness that would make the lightest of green with envy. He predicted the hoary and frosty blasts which we are now enjoying, and it arrived on schedule time to a dot. It looks like a for Irl, as his predictions for the previous part of the winter wera the wildest kind of failures. Indeed, these dictions were (ho purest fakes with whiskers as old aud as long as those sometimes put on the chinuy-ohln chin of Uncle Sam. Hicks' fortune aa a weather prophet hai been saved by tho skin of its teeth.

The writer became acquainted with him, and found him a pleasant and genlai acquaintance.

It had been supposed that Prophet Tlce though scientific calculations of the conditions of the Heavenly bodies, was able to foretell storms, heat and cold, and weather phenomena. But how dreadfully disgusted was the prophet's disciple, instead of hearing a learned calculation in regard to tbe conditions named, to hear the old man give his basis for weather predictions some thing like this: Bald he: "I take a cycle of four I note the weath er conditions every day, or several times a day, during the period. At the end of the four years I make a calculation as to the average of weath from this I foretell what to have for the next year." And there you are! Weather Prophet Hicks professes lo foretell weather events by the position of the heavenly but ho is not more successful in his guesses than was his famed walking the golden streets where storms and cold come not.
