ANOTHER ICE BRIDGE. The Solid Ice Jammed Again Between Brook- lyn and New York. CROSSING FROM BOTH SIDES. Parties Caught on the Drifling Ploe and Thoroughly Chilled Before Reach- ing the Shore. An Arctic wave swept yesterday over the city. Arctic chilliness filled the air. An arctic vision— another ice bridge across the Eass River—greeted | the gaze of thousands, The novelty of the latter spectacle, following so close on the heels of the | late ice bridge in the same locality, was somewhat | lessened; but none the less exciting and tarilling Were the scenes attending its crossing. But while from passing ferrybosts and trom throngs Mning the wharves in the vicinity tuere was a painfully Intent watching of those trusting themselves to this unstable bridge, and while all knew that if by any chance the pent-up tide shouid obtain the mas- tery and sunaer the Icy fetters holding it in subjec- tion, dismay and disaster and wrath would in all | probability overtake the daring adventurers, there was still a strong admixture of the ludicrous, The scene from the distance, so particularly diminu- tive looked the scattered pedestrians, called up that poeitc picture of life in the Arctic regions :— When the short-legged Esquimaux Waddie in the ice aud snow, And the playful polar bear ‘Mos the hunter unaware. It seemed for oli the world a segment of the frigid zoue, All the details, the comic and the serio-comic intermingling, of incidents might be indefinitely enlarges. THE BRIDGE. So narrow was the bridge, however, that but few, comparatively, passed over, probably not much over one or two score altogether, though | the fools are not all dead, and thougna few com- ing properly within this populous category risked their lives in going across, The general sentiment was not— See the stately Polar bears, Waliz around the pole io pairs, glee And the walrus in bis Bare ms tusk of ivory, While the boid eea unicorn (uluiy takes an extra horn, It was tar better, taking all the risks Into consid- eration, and cspecially in view of tue intense cold aud keenly cutting wind, to emulate the untcorn’s example. And it was cold, and not drinks were in order, Such severe weather has rarely been ex- perienced here, AFLOAT ON THE ICE. At eleven o’ciock in the morning the East River Piers from Fulton to Wall street were crowded With people who Were amusediy watching the ef forts of nine unfortunate todividuals imprisoned upon the ice bridge. When the contact of the fluo was first made with the New York shore fifteen brave or perhaps toolhardy adventurers leaped Upon the ice and started tor Brooklyn, Six of them succeeded without serious dimcuity or trou ble; but the remaincer discovered that they were too late, and stood blankly gazing at the Brooklyn | wharves over a clear space of icy water more than twenty feet in width between the edge of the foe and the shore, No tugs or boats were at the time Available, so after a momentary discussion the entire party started back at a brisk run, hoping to reach the New York shore belore the implacable tide or a passing boat should sever their connection ‘Witn dry land, In this endeavor also they were * too late, and they stared at each other reproach- tuily woen they discovered another watery chan- nel separating them from the New York shore whicn they had imprudently loft on the trail se- curity of an ice bridge. There was not much time for deliberation, It was nearly high water, and the veriest tyroin giacidl phtlosophy knowa tnat the ebb tide portends a general break up and de. struction of ice barriera in the East River. This fact seemed to be avpreciated by the involuntary Voyagera un the foe, and with cries and gestures w besougiit assistance. One corpulant indi. vidual, who might have gat jor the photograph of Mr. Pickwick alter “vreaking in” at Mr. Wardie’s skating party, rushed to and fro ifantically upon this treacherous floe, and, Hually, tn utter deapair took an attitude of re- ®ignation witon legs extended, and vigorousiy waved a handkorcalef a3 a igual of distress in his tight hand, A small tugboat startled gallantly to the rescue, bat striking the foe with unanti- Cipated iorce, the brittle ice parted just between the legs oi the typical Pickwick, and for a moment it wasieared that be must inevitably drop tuto the cold, briny chasm, GRACEFULLY BALANCING BIMSELE on one leg, however, he managed to draw the other carelully over the yawning abyss, and with | ®@ celeriity unexpected in one o! his years, he SWiiLly ran to rejoin his companions in misfortune. By this time toe foo had moved slowly up the river until its upper edge WAS almost abreast of Fulton terry, several tugs were trying to lorce @ pasoage throagh the drilting cakes tu tne sold ice, iu orver to rescue the daring uine, bat in Vato. Great masses Of floating cakes prevented their | approvcn, aod 1D Several insvauces the boats were themseives so completely imprisoned jor the cme @8 Dot [0 be abie to advance or retreat, out Hoated beiplessiv along with he tide. During all this time the Fulton and Wall street ferrybuats were run ang regularly, though im some cases taeir trips Were prolouxed by the floating ice. ‘The bridge of ies extended oniy from Maigen laze to Wall Birest, amd until twelve o'clock uo very serious troub’e was experieiced at any of tne ierries, At noon the doe had moved nearly up to ourevelt street, and then the tice commenced to ebo, The Fulton terry boats were obliged jor several trips to make a detour to gaia the Brooklyn landing, but the de- lay thus caused did not exceed a@ few minutes, ex: | cept in the case of one boat which was aa hour in | crossing.

THE NORTH RIVER. It was with no smaji dread that the inhabitants of New Jersey got up yesterday morning, put their noses out Ol thelr Windows aud sniifea the wintry blast. Memories of inyoinntary excursions duwa the Bay and up the river came upon them witn unpleasant pertinactty and lormed another argu- ment for rapid transit im New York. The ice which was forced by the current to the New York side of the North River was rather troublesome. Some of ic was in large olocks, which bothimpeded the Jerryvoats and did some httle damage to the siipping at tbe wharves. Ia cases where it was wedged in between the piers the smailer kind of vessels were more or less damaged, The various tines of terryboats were seriously aciayed and all of them experienced much diMl- cuity. So great was the obstruction that the managers of the Pavonia Jerry decided not to run | their uptown boats until the river becomes more passabie. THE SOUND FROZEN OVER.

The harbor here is jrozen over tight and strong, and this afternoon peopie on toot and in sleighs were crossing on the ice from the east to the west shore—a circumstance not known before in moro than forty years.

ALBANY, Feb. 9, 1875. Last night, as one of the younger Judges of the Court of Appeals was circulating around the Johnson mansion with two blonde young ladies on his arm, an old and retired merchant of the me- tropolis gave him a “iow d’do,.” “Why Judge,” he sald, “this 1s beautiful!

Let Hattie tell it!” AN ANECDOTE TOLD BY A LADY, The buxom young lady threw back her head, and like one with the spirit of the anecdote | Telaced as follows :— | “There was a gentleman, sir, doing business in New York, who had a hunting estate near Albany. He had a fine blooded hunting aog by the name of Democrat, whose pedigree went back to two celebrated animals, Jefferson and Clinton, Ts dog owas of suca undoubted breed and strength thas his master felt perfectly secure with him, and fed him on the aaintiest meats. The dog was warmed by the | fire, allowed to grow luxurious, and if anybody | kicked bim it was a high offence. so, one spring day, ta cold weather, his master took the dog | Irom the city up to his estate, and walked out in the woods confidently, All at once a wolf rushed upon the master, seized him by the seat of the breeches and gave him a dreadful imghi.

The Juage satd she had the right to the story, and must go on. “Well, sir,”? continued so much. He spurned that doz when fawning fo his feer, and said: best stock after ail. it came ‘This mongrel is the His pedigree may be obscure, He shall go home with me and receive the good treatment ior which | Democrat was so ungrateful.’” “You perceive,” interposed the Judge, ‘that the mongrel dog must have been called Whig.” i air,” continued the lady archly, “the valiant dog was taken back to the city and sump- tuousty ted, His master told about every day, and when another season came around exclaimed :—1 will go up to my estate agsin aud | see if rough old Whig will not shake anotuer wolf to pieces.’ He went, and while making the tour of bia estate & famished wolf ran, as beture, un- expectedly upon bim.
