ESTABLISHED | Grossing on Ice From King- ston to Oswego--inter- | esting Records. | | The Oswego Times has the follow- | ing: From the foot of the lake comes | the announcement that the ice in the | lako there is of unusual thickness | this year and that it extends in an | unbroken field from the Main Ducks {Islands to Pigeon Island Light, | which is about ten miles outside of the harbor at Kingston, Ont. Not in |.recent years has there been such an unbroken field of solid ice in the lake, but it 4s said that it is nothing to what the records of past years ehow. Ice records in the lake are exten- i slvely kept but in some of the old | private records kept by the late Boardman C. Frost it appears that two men made the trip over the ice from Kingston across the lake on the ice. The record says that they had a sled and light rowboat attached which they carried the boat to be used in case they encountered open water. They also had a supply of "grub." | Their first stop was made at Pig- | eon Island and from there they went | © the Ducks. In those days neither | Island was inhabited during tve win- | ter months, but on both there were { buildings that in tho summer season | were occupied by fishermen, who left | their stoves and piles of fuel handy | so that if travelers found themselves there they would not be entirely without shelter. It 48 recorder that there was a quantity of cured fish found there and that the travelers made their | home there during a severe storm { that lasted two or three days, and | which made travel on the ice in the lake hazardous, On the trip to the Galloups the men encountered much "hummock" ice, travel over which was so hard that they decided to abandon their boat and sled. Alter a day's rest at the Galloups they made Henderson Harbor, in time to have dinner with Captain Snow, a well known mariner who lived in those days, and then started along the shore for Oswego. The next record of crossing the ice from Kingston was made in March, 1872. Two men made the trip land- ing near Port Ontario and walked to this city. One of them was James Hughes, a sailor, whose home was in this oity., Record of their trip is not extant, but it is said that they were three days on the trip carrying a pack of "grub" strapped upon their backs. They spent two nights on the island in the lake and the third night was spent on the ice in the lake. Both men were sailors and they camo here to ship om tho schooners that were to leave here for the first run up the lakes in tho spring. The distance from Kingston Harbor to this city 4s about sixty miles by direct water route. April 25th, 1856, loaded teams were working on the foe in the river and the steamer Kentucky, bourd from Toronto to this port, was caught and held in the ice in the lake about two miles from this port. The passengers and crew camo ashore, walking the distance, while a team of horses attached to a sleigh went out and brought in the baggage. The steamer then returned to To- ronto and did not get back to this port until the second week in May. It is sald that there was more ice in thé lake in the spring of 1856 than at any time before or since, St. James' Mission, Large numbers were present at both the afternoon and evening ser- vices in connection with the mission | being held in St. James' church. In | the afternoon Ms. McKim spoke up- on "The Ovércoming Life." | At the evening service Mr. Mec- Kim asked the people to consider with him what the Bible teaches about the coming back of the Lord Jesus. We are told 318 times in {the New Testament that Jesus fis {coming back. He himself said He would. The Bible says he will. The newspapers in their chronicle of the ievents of the world tell us that God's | programme js working out and there- {tore Jesus is coming. Jesus must !¢come, Conditions in the world loud- ly call for him. Visiting' Leagues Entertained.

The woman pleaded guilty to the charge, and Magistrate Farrell im- posed a fine of $200 -and costs, or three months in jail, and the fine will be paid. The woman very frankly admitted having the liquor. She said that she had secured it to take to her own home, and was apparently quite willing to take the risk of carrying it up from Montreal. She used a small trunk and a suit case to bring up the small cargo. Following the usual custom, the liquor will find its way to the local hospitals when an order comes from the license board at Toronto to make a distribution of the 'wet goods" the local police have on hand, G.
