Don't go to law. Agree. Ice is a drug on the market. The Ledger almanac is out. Dying is as natural as living.

Don't lend a borrowed article. A man is not so soon bealed as hart. Sprinkle ashes on the icy pavements. Every man living has something to do. It costs about twelve cents a ton to gather ice.

Even the icemen had to stop work yesterday. Ninety-six murderers were hanged last year. Blessings are not always valued until they are gone. Policemen have to step along briskly to keep warm. Nobody did much business yesterday but tax collectors.

All the freight has to be shipped by rail, at. increased prices. He that falls to-day may be up again tomorrow. So, take heart. Every body who visited the market this morning had business there.

Never appear to notice a scar, deformity or defect of any one present. When traveling abroad don't be over boastful of your own country. Never arrest the attention of an acquaintance by a touch. Speak to him. When an accident happens don't exhibit anger, impatience or excitement.

The river was frozen over this morning-the first time in very many years. We shall hear no more about tbe removal of the Lazaretto until warm weather. Attend divine service to-morrow. It is tbe first Sunday in the year. Begin well.

The Philadelphia Ice Boats have plenty of work before them. It has to be cut out yet. Mr. Nathaniel Rulon, formerly of Chester, is lying very ill at his residence in Media. Put snow on your frosted ears, and don't say that the remedy is worse than tbe disease.

The Advocate never contained more excellent reading matter than it does this week. Hard on tbe milkmen. They will have to sell it in blocks unless there is a change in the temperature. Newsboys, like Sunday school get remarkably attentive and obliging just about holiday times. Next Friday is the day set apart by tbe churches as a day of prayer for the editors, authors and publishers.

Schools commence their work again on Monday. We hope the teachers and scholars have been benefited by their vacation. It will be a difficult matter for outward and homeward bound vessels to get to Philadelphia. They bad better load and unload at Chester. A friend of ours, whose wife has been away spending the holidays, is expecting her home this afternoon, with fear and tremb- His housekeeping experience has not -een a success.

Tbe fires are out, her choice plants are killed, the hydrant is frozen, a 'mrrel of sweet potatoes irretrievably ruined, and what is worse than all, her favorite cat left.

William ar rived in the Delaware in 1682, he deteruiin ed to change the name of Upland. He ask ed his friend Pearson, What shall 1 cal this place?" Pearson said, "Chester," iu remembrance of the city whence he came At a monthly meeting held on tbe 11th 7th mouth, (September,) 1802, it was "that a meeting should be held fur tbe ser vice aud worship of God every First-day the week at the Court House, at In 1686 it was agreed by the Chester Month ly Meeting, "that Bartholomew Coppock Jas.

Kennedy, Randall Vernon and Caleb Pusey, do agree and coutract with such workman or men as they shall see fit, to build a meeting-house at Chester, twenty four feet squire, and teu feet high in tbe walis." Chester was not free from war's alarms during the Revolution. After the disastrous attair at the Brandywine, in 1777, Washing ton's army retreated to Chester, and on Sep teinber llih, tbe General-in-Chief reported to Congress that the day's engagement hac compelled him to leave the enemy master of the field, and that Marquis La Fayette had been wounded. It is often said tbat from 1750 to 1850, a period of one hundred years, tbe population of Chester increased cue hundred. At the latter date Hon. John Larkin bought eighty- three acres of land northeast of tbe ancient town, and laid it out in streets, and sold building lots on very easy terms to bona fide settlers.

This save the place an impetus. It has grown "rapidly ever since. Its population is now about fourteen thousand, Chester is emphatically a manufacturing; city. Some thirty manufactories of cotton and woolen goods, six machine shops, one extensive rolling mill, a tube works, a pottery, a mammoth sugar refinery, a brass foundry, axe works, chemical works, etc. are now in active operation.

By far tbe largest manufacturing establish ment iu the city is the irou ship-building works of John Roach. They occupy a very odvantageous position on the river front, and turn out annually every variety of iron craft, from the pleasure yacht to the mammoth ocean steamer and invulnerable iron clad. An average of one thousand two hundred men is employed, and the pay roll is about $10,000 per week. Some fifteen churches of various denominations betoken the activity of tbe cause of religion among the people. In St.

Paul's Episcopal grave-vard repose the remains of tabu Morton, a signer of the Declaration of Independence. Upon the east side of the monument over his grave is the following nscription: "In voting by States upon the of tbe independence of the American colonies, there was a tie until tbe vote of Pennsylvania was given, two members of which voted in the affirmative, and two in he negative. The tie continued until the -pte of the last member, Johu Morton, decided the promulgation of tbe Glorious Di- tloma of American Freedom." In the Friends' grave-yard repose the remains of tbe noted David and Grace Lloyd. There are two daily papers and four week papers published in Chester. Chester was organized a borough by Peun, in 1682, in 1866 it became a city.

Its city hall lates from 1724. John Larkin, was the irst mayor of Chsster, serving two terms, without a salary. Chester has an excellent public school ystem, and besides there are adjacent the Jrozer Theological Seminary, Pennsylvania Military Academy, Col. Theodore Hyatt, 'resident, and Chester Academy, George principal. Tbe Crozer Theological Seminary, Rev.

lenry Gr. Weston, president, is a popular Japtist Institution. The commodious build- ngs are located near Chester. Many young men are fitted for the ministry at tbe'Semi- tary. Thorough instruction is given in Hebrew, Greek, Christian Theology, Practical Theology and Church History.

The Pennsylvania Military Academy, Col. Theodore Hyatt, president! is also finely oeated. One can observe the building upon ntering Chester, from Philadelphia. Here tudents have a most excellent physical and moral traiaing. They are educated for the duties of life.

They are not re- uired to become soldiers. The regular labits required of students, conduces not nly to their health, but fits them for the oming battles of life." As an incentive or competition, tbe published catalogue has statement, opposite each student's name, bis average attendance, deportment, cholarship and military exercise for the past ear. There are voluntary and nnsectarian eligious exercises held at the Academy. n)y one case of serious illness occurred uring the past year, and tbat student recov- red. The grounds of the Academy are wenty-five acres in extent.

Thoroughness is evidently required in ev- ry department. at stated periods, are informed of progress of their sons. The annual expense of instruction and oard, is $500. CHESTER ACADEMV. This institution, at which both sexes re- equal facilities for educational train- ng, was opened in April, 1S62.

Th barber saw the man coming and knowing the kind of a person he was, he left the room and gave the customer over to his wife. Tbe rounder came in and, wanted a shave, bai cut, cigars and tobacco, but he had no mouey to pay for them, and of course he was denied the articles. He went out but returned and made a like demand, and was again re fused. He made a third visit aud became more boisterous.

This time tired the pa Hence of the proprietor and he came into the store, from where he had been cutting wood with a hatchet in his hand. The intrude was Joud iu his talk and tbe proprietor ra: him out and threw tbe hatchet after him 1 he man picked up the hatchet and starlet for the barber shop intending to clean it out but it was quickly barred against him. He kept tbe hatchet aud took it over to the hotel, so that the barber is still without his hatchet. TUB COLD SXAP--Tbe extremely cold weather of yesterday moruiug cominuec throughout yesterday and last evening, with a slight moderation. Scarcely any one was on the street aud last night they were almost wholly deserted.

By some means his arm was caught above the elbow and the muscles orn nearly out. The boy was removed to his home at Eleventh street and Edgmont ivenue, and Dr. O'Reily summoned.

He dressed the wound and alleviated his suffer- ng as much as possible. It will require a ong time to recover. BKOKB HER morn ng after the steamer Artizan, plying be- ween this city and Philadelphia, left Eddy- jlone, she broke her rudder in the ice, and hereby became disabled. She was compelled to remain in the ice above Tinicum until afternoon, when the city ice boat No. managed to cut her out of the ice and tow ler to this city.

There was no freight from bis city landed in Philadelphia yesterday. The ice became too heavy even for the powerful Aitizan. A RUNAWAY SAILOR--Friday morning, ibout three o'clock, when the bark Elida put nto the harbor at Sbarpless' wharf, the cap- ain sent three men ashore to make a line fast, and one of them, Thomas Shurdley, who did not like tbat kind of work in such eold weather, struck off on foot for Philadelphia. Officer Frank Wilson saw him going up the P. W.

B. railroad, and stopped liin and brought him to tbe lock-up, where le was confined until after daylight, and hen taken aboard.
