MISHAPS TO VESSELS Recollections of Henry Ward Beecher’s Passage Over. FORMER ICE BLOCKADES. The East River was at last bridged over yester- | fay morning. It was done without the sanction Df the Legislature at Albany. No bonds were issued for the purpose. The Common Councils of New York and Brooklyn bad nothing to do with it. Yueir wishes were not even once consulted. The taxpayers will never be cailed on to pay a cent for the enterprise. It was done without brag or bluster and with exemplary promptitude, [t 13 true It was but the work of a day, yet im its day and generation it was useful and had a strange charm that few other bridges possess, It was made of ice and stretched with. out a solitary pier or abutment or su pension cable from Brooklyn to New Yorks White and level asa marble-topped table. It ace commodated several thousand persons in an in- sercnange of visits between the twoctitles, It gave infinite excitement to the minds apd mus- cles of a host of men and boys. It tried the met- tle of & whole swarm of tugs and ferryboats and was altogether a lively and interesting phenome- Non. No accidents of a serious character were Teported, Considering the recklessness of many young lads who seemed to think the bridge came to stay, and was laid across by ordinace ofthe Com- mon Council, it is amazing no lives were lost in she break-up at noon. WHERE THE ICE CAME FROM, The vast quantity of ice that contributed to build the slippery causeway was a wonder and de- gut to the multitude of eyes that looked upon it. Where aid it come irom? Neither Hell Gate nor Harlem conld have sent down so great a mass. | The North River evidently had a hand init, The eccentric currents that point for the Hast River at each returning tide laid hold of the vagrant ice- bergs discharged trom the Hudson and swept them in one great foe into.the overburdened waters of the East River. The strong tide press- ing apward through the early morning welded the countless fragments into a solid widespreading Geld, and thus the neck of the river was choked and a bridge accomplished, The harbor presented | @ singular appearance. Governor's, Di Qnited by an ice driit which at a distance lookea tke along line of breakers suddenly petritied, Ships were hemmed fo, and faras the eye could seach the waters of the bay seemed to be in com. plete subjection to the autocrat of winter. ° 4 CLEAN AND LEVEL BRIDGE. When the tide had ebbed There have been ice bridmes before this winter, | but none so Clean and level asthe one of yester- day. <A slight sprinkling of snow, like tugar shaken on a plate of buckwheas cakes, helped to tone the slippery surtace and permit of easy walking. The of the event willbe read with intere: An ice bridge, unlike Christmas, comes not once a year, and therefore is it that people who do not live in Brooklyn give itso much welcome and attention, THE SUGGESTIVE FEAT OF MR. BEECHER, Once there was an ice bridge some years ago that vorrowed lustre in history from the fact that Genry Ward Beecher, with a party of ladies, was the frst who bad the daring to venture over it. With bis characteristic impulse he put confidence in the precarious thing; yet it did not prove treacherous, It bore him safely over and justified Dis sanguine faith, That bridge was an uneven | Structure. The ice appeared to have been thrown Gp in a sertes of violent spasms in the river irom beneath. It was full of pitfalls, perfious to te anwary and the awkward. Blocks of ice were piled in confusion here and there like the ruins of @ palace built of crystal, Unlike the pridge of yesterday, it was impossivie to see the exact condition of the surface ten yaras @head, Across this perilous causeway Mr. Beecher, With the Indies, seated in a sleigh, passed irom Brookivn to New York. A hundred thousand peopl: stood jooking on in breathless Suspense, Everyoody seemed to see a hole intu Which he must inevitably fall aod perish, A gap in midstream lay directly in bis course. He was gearing it rapidiy. The crowd shoutea, “Re ig rumed!’ ‘He is gone!” He foolbardy and overconfident, and aid {tt would serve him rignt to get drowned: but quite a number sianding on the Brooklyn oank cheered him oa, cried “bravo” and bet freely he would pass across in Safety. All suddenly the sleigh dashed down to tbe edge of the-gapiug chasm. Intense anxtety q@arked every face. ‘The suspense seemed a life- Sime, though it lasted but a moment, The chasm was crossed. The sleigh was sale. Shouts rent tne air from the Brooklyn side, The dangerous passage was accomplished, yet there are people to this day who cannot account for how the thing was done. BUSINESS AND FUN ON THE Ice, Yesterday's bridge was free trom excreacencos, level n3 & prairie and hard as granite, Over 20,000 bersons crossed it, Boys on skates gave it a trial, A hundred characters made it @ piace tor eccentric many exbibtions. One man started a dar with @ demjohn of whiskey, bootblacks plied their vocation as on terra firma, venuers Of peanuts aod roast chestnuts stationea them- selves, on a very brief i in the direct path irom New York to Brooklyn, Rumors were given Out that a man Who brought @ stove on tno Ice to cook coffee and cakes fell ep, upset the stove, had @ hole burned tn the ice large enough to ad- mit of bis Y passage to the regions below, and tbat he passed away and made uo sign and ielt DO token.

The icé was smooth in most places and very hard, and between Peck sip and the South ferry had the appearance of one enormous ice foe. The aspect Was most picturesque. In- stead of the waving, undulating masses of water that greet the eye Of the ferry traveller, scarcely anything was to be seen but this crystal sheet of glittering ice, | South ferry, and the bay was filled with the vast | | A TEMPTING SiGuT, | It was a most tempting sight to the adventurous | who like to boast that they have crossed to Brook- | lyn or New York on the ice, and by nine o'clock | crowds of spectators had gathered on both sides | me river. Many of these were desirous of cross- ing over in the terry, but as scarcely any of the boats wereerunning it wus evident that their only chance of reaching the opposite shore was by means of a daring ieat of pedestrianism. until the first example ol daring has demonstrated the possibility of success, and it was so in tuis case. By @ quarter pust nine o'clock the crowd at the Fulten Ferry had swollen to thousands, and ajthough many jumped upon the ice to induige tn a few sportive antics none had as yet ventured to croas. Who was to break the Ice, or, rather, to overcome it? Well, the hero Gg | before. tong. He came, he walked and he con- quered, and reached Brooklyn in about two min- utes and forty seconds, He started irom Peck slip and landed im Brookiyn about two blocks west of Fulton terry, He picked his way careiully among the broken pleces of ice that encumbered the floe in some places, and, alter taking many circuitous routes, Ne reached the Brooklyn shore in safety. THE CROWD FOLLOWS, And now the ice was broken, and everybody feeling assured that the bridge of tee was firm and that no danger Jurked beneath its bright, shining surface, the crowd tollowed in Dis wake in an uninterrupted stream. People supported one another in this povel walk; they shouted and hurrahed when auybody sped on with especial boldness, they laughed when anybody fell, The sceoe merriment. Some of the vusiness men, who were naturally cautions and would have preterred to | take the ferryboat, nevertheless crossed on the ice, as they were cager to reacn their | places in New York, Near Wall street the first, one who crossed on the ice was @ litte boy, whose agility Was generally admired. lyn ana Governor's [sland there was also a com. plete bridge of ive, and people used it itberally, some tmpelied by the necessities of business and others by the mere desire for spor? IGS DRIVEN ACROSS, One of the spectators near Wall street even stated that several sieigns, drawn by horses, suc- ceeded in crossing jrom New York to Brookivn, and other eye withesees strengthened tnis asaer- tion by contirming it. There was also a litle skating at some points, and the boys at the river- side enjoyed the opportunity tor irolic upon the ice, Hundreds of schoolooys trom the Heights in Brookiyn came down with their skates and sieda and went out boldly upon the ice bridge. The poiice at some plates lnteriered with the sport, and near the Fulton terry tn New York drove away wany people Who bad ventured upon the ice | when the tide was going out and there was danger that they might be carmed toward the bay or perish in the water when the ice brdke up, Among those who crossed on the ice were also several laces, The first, a Mrs. Jones, of New York, createa quite a sensation by her boldness, On the shore the scene was also one of novel interest. Yhousunds of people were curious to see the ice bridge and came irom a considerable distance to view the spectacle. The docks were packed with curious spectators, and many clam- vered upon the ships in order to obtain a better view, It was a sight well worth seeing and | one that had not not been witnessed for years, ‘Are yoo going over: “Come on, lets lake a promenade On the ice,’’ and other simiuar expressions were heard everywhere. Numerous vessels had been caught in the ice when it first ve- gau driiting up the East River, and Jreed them- selves with the zreatest aimculry, THE FERRYBOATS. | At first the ferrybouts succeeded in opening a | gap once ina while, and cutting through the ice | at some places. ‘This was besore the bridge was thoroughly formed.

AN ELECTRIC SHOCE. The simultaneous. attack on tne lower border sent an electric sbock through the whole vody of ice above, Lines of division, quick and irregular as lorked lightning playing across the sky, snot over the irozen plain.

They saw the force uf tugs and Jerry Doats strike like a uuge battering ram against the floor on which they stood. ‘they beard the shouts of aiarm irom either bank of the river, but the wild exniiaration of the danger round avour ay @ fascination that many found it hard to resist. fe A LINE OF TUGBOATS broke through the bridge close by the New York shore, while on the Brooklyn side a ciear chan- nel was made by similar means, ‘This isolated the fleld, ‘The tide W.s Ov the turn, ‘The strong bolts oi ice that held the immense gorge were shattered, and now the whole mass began a slow, steady movement in the direction of the harbor, The sun Was shining vriguwy, and the sky Was nearly cloudiess. Along both sides of the river, liom the Battery to Harlem, spectators stood In groups and crowds, Above aud below Fuiton ferry the piers were black with peopie, Vessels were luvaued by eager sightseers, Even the rigging and masthead o1 many a@ crait were boldly songh. out tor a more satisiactors gilmpse of the strange puenomenon.

The entecta oi the blockade last evening were not so generally felt ag in the morning, as 1t came, most iwekily, alter the time when peopie take the ferry- boats ior home. As it was, however, it was by no means pleasant for those who had to wait for the boats or perhaps could not go home at all, te- | cause tne companies did not run late night boats | owing to the Ige obstruction. Many peuple were consequentiy missed in their pleasant homes in | Jersey, Staten Isiand, Astoria, Hobuken and other | supurds of New York, aud had to spend the night in wicked and dissipated Gotham.

The ice viockade of 1862 was remarkable Jor an accideut that peiell Mr. Jonn McClenahan, subsequently an attacié o1 the HERALD, who, along witn a party of young lady irom Brooklyn, were carried off on a cake of ice down the bay and came near perishing of cola ana hunger. It was on the morning of January 21, 1862, and thousands of persons were anxious to cross the East River from Brooklyn to New York, but found that the boats at south and Fulton ferries were all frozen in, and that the intense cold of the previous nignt cad converted the river into an unbroken sheet of tce. Gaoe man, more courageous than the others, boldly ventured across Ou the precarious bridge of crystal, and when it was discovered that he reached the opposite shore in salety, his eXample was foliowed py five thou. sand more, Before the last crowd of adventurous pedestrians, numberlog about five iundred, reached tue New York side, the 1ce parted near the shore, aud the entire mass moved dowao toward the bay.

The members of the severai Evangelical denow!- | Rattons in Broozlyn have been sorely exercised during the past week over the sudden action of the Lutheran church of St. Paul in deposing their pastor, the Rev. Frederick Koerner, on Monday night last, after a very excited meeting of tne A warm but increasing contro- | versy had been going on between the pastor and | his people since last spring; but the sudden action ofthe meeting has surprised every one, and the | questions involved and proceedings, legal and | otherwise, likely to arise therefrom, though not | overshadowing the scandal, occupy @ full share ef public attention. A brief résumé will place the matter in its true light and lead to a thorough understanding of the | consequent movements promised. | ‘The Lutheran Synod of Missouri, from which | Mr. Koerner came three years ago, adopted as its platform sn absolute hostility to all secret socie- ties, In reference to secret societies it instructed | the preacher who entered new flielda and organ- | ized new churches, to vigorously protest against Unem and decline to admit to membership in tue church members of any order, In May last, ata meeting of the officers of the church, it Was decided to give the children of the | Sunaay school # picnic, at which music should be | @ prominent feature. Mr. Koerner protested first against music, out it Was carried wimost unani- Mously to have a band. ‘Ine subject of allowing dancing as ustial’ was next aavanced, on whica the vote wasa tie. The pastor tuen denounced | dancing as asin and a soul destroying evil. The | German love of Terpsichorean exercise was | aroused at this, and almost all desired to change that vote, so that in a lew minutes it was unanimously decided that dancing should be al- lowed. The breaca thus created between the Shepherd and his flock has kept un increasing. | The shepherd's next step was to insist that, 1p- | stead of open contession of slips or backslidings | made tn open meeting, coupled witn requests ior | prayer, a pare contiding of trouvie, aoubtingy | and backslidings snouid be made privately to him. | This mstitution of auricuiar comeysion in a dis- | senting church literally set the people by the ears, | and it only needed a little tinder to inaugurate @ | conflagration. | | The eruption came two weeks ago In a refusal to administer the communion to a Mr. Claus Wredin, inasmuch as be was @ Mason. Mr. Wredin insisted tnat Masonry did not interfere with nis tutegrity as a member of the churen, out hie pie insisted that as a Mason he prayed witha ew, Was in his Order the equal of a Mohammedan, and therefore could not address bis sapplications toa Triune God. The dispute growing warm, a com- | promise was effected by the admission of Mr. | Wredin to communion on the ground of nis ig- norance that there was any wroug in Masonry. ‘The congregation called a meeting of the off- cers of the church. At the meeting it was de- cided that @ minister must administer the sacra ment to any member of the charch, without | reference to his society connections. Mr. Koerner | dec ined to abide by this decision, und a meeting | Of the congregation was therelore calied to adjust tue diticuity. ‘this meeting took place on Monday night last, | when the action oi the church officers was iuily | sustained by the soctety. Mr. Koerner became very much excited. He reprenenued the action ot bts parishioners, and peremptorily declined to submit to their dictation; whereapon a resolu. tion of discharge was agopted, and three mouths’ salary was voted to him, as a compliance With a section of the “Church Discipline,” that n0 miuis. ler shall be removed, set aside or depused without @ Notice of three Montns. it is understood that Mr. Koerner will be legally advised as to this action.
