Wyoming County Mirror Warsaw, Wyoming Co., NY April 20-1852 Ice in Lake Erie. Up to the last of last week the harbors of Lake Erie had been bound with ice. We believe two or three boats did get out from the harbor at Erie a few weeks ago,but the ice drove in again, and one boat was bound in three or four miles from the shore, so that the passengers were obliged to make their escape over the masses of ice, which they did at great peril. But from late accounts it seems the ice is again moving out of that harbor, so that boats will probably run hereafter regularly. It is also giving way from Buffalo, Dunkirk and other harbors; and very likely before the end of this week the boats will be able to make their way from those harbors to Detroit, and perhaps to the upper lakes. + James R. DOOLITTLE, Esq., formerly of this village, now of Racine, Wisconsin, is becoming quite popular in that State.--Not long since some of the papers in that region spoke of an argument of his in a certain case, as excelling any thing of the kind ever known in their county. We now see that he is called to settle a difficulty between the Governor and Attorney General; and his decision is looked to with as much confidence as if he were another Solomon.--Well, James, you was a pretty big man here, but here were so many of us big, too, that you wa'nt[sic] conspicuous as there. That's all the difference. + Boy Drowned.-George H. LAMPHIRE, son of Henry LAMPHIRE, a boy about five years old, was drowned last Friday in the creek that runs through this village. He was seen about the south bridge on Friday afternoon, and at five o'clock, was not to be found. The creek was raked, and the search continued till late at night; and was renewed early on Saturday morning.-Large parties scoured the woods in the vicinity, and others continued the search in the creek, till near three o'clock in the afternoon, when the body was found in the creek not more than 25 rods below the bridge. It is a distressing case, and we hope will be sufficient to put others on their guard. But the warning will no doubt be forgotten, and then another victim must be sacrificed. + Little boys and girls--you who attend our village school; we wish to advise you not to play about the banks of the creek or race, or about the bridges. Children of your age are not aware of the danger, till some accident happens, like the one last week; and even then they soon forget it. We hope we may never be obliged to record that another of your number has fallen into the creek and is drowned. + To be Hung.-Maurice ANTONIO, charged with the murder of Ignacio Texciro PINTO in a log house in the town of Gates, Monroe county, on the 23d of Nov. last, had his trial at Rochester last week. He was convicted and sentenced to be hung on the 3d day of June next. + DIED. In Weathersfield, of inflammation of the lungs, after a sickness of six days, John B. GROGER, of Cambridge, Michigan, brother of the late William R. GROGER, aged 49 years. He had started for California, but on arriving at New York, changed his mind and returned as far as this place; and while visiting his friends in Wethersfield, was attacked with the sickness which terminated his life. His family are in Michigan. To the parents of George Henry LAMPHERE[sic], who was drowned in Allen's Creek April 16, 1852, "Oh! why should we mourn, when the summons of death, Requires the frail mortal to yield up his breath? Oh why when our loved ones, are called to depart, Say why, then, should sorrow oppress the lone heart. And why, when we view the pale corpse of a friend, Should we suffer dejection, our bosoms to rend: When we feel-when we know-that a meeting above Shall be ours in the mansions of infinite love! Shall we mourn, that our Father his messenger sends, And calls to is bosom our long cherished friends; When he calls them from trouble, from sin and from pain, To taste of his mercy, and praise him again! 'Tis selfish to mourn,, when in kindness and love Our friends are transplanted to regions above; When they gain by exchanging this darkness and woe, For light and for pleasure--such strangers below. We may love for a moment their company sweet, And may miss them where friends and acquaintances meet; Yet 'tis sweet to believe of the friends that we love, If we miss them below, we shall meet them above."
