Sam Gib- so n and S a m Huls e , Charlie Mills , Harry Brewster , Charlie Mills and others fro m Bay Shore , members of the crews of the ice-boats \Ray Shove ' and \S. K. P. \ which lay in the offing op- posite Carman Skinner ' s workshop, at the landing. These gentlemen of the rapidly growing town at the westward , after repairing damages to thei r larger and speedier craft, sped away toward Patchogu e , while the scribe , \ stretched at full length on the \F l eetwing, \ abl y commanded b y Capt. Andrew F. Skin- ner , fairl y flew across the bay to the Lone Hill Life Saving Station. After thawing out , through the friendl y agency of a shi p ' s range , the writer was escorted throug h the station bv a brother of the then absent Keeper, and was pleased with the orderl y condition of all things pertaining to the service. An hour was passed very agreeabl y b y Keeper Baker ' s crew and the visitors , who appeared to vie with each other in entertaining—the former with the com- forts of the premises , ' the lat t er wi t h recitals of hairbreadth escapes , incid e nt s of remarkabl y cold weather and narra- t i ves of superior marksmanship. Capt. \E p \ Ketcham gave an interesting ac- count of the standing of \Stingray \ 81 years ago , on New Year ' s ni g ht. Old Ocean hereabouts had a fringe of ice about a quarter of mile in width , suf- ficientl y strong fo support the several visitors who walked out to and around th e ice-fated vessel. A Lon e Hiller said he had a well 15 feet deep on his pre- mises , on the main land and he had known it to be frozen over. Another favored with an account of killing 54 birds with 60 shell. A youn g salt , re- joicing in the euphonious cognomen of Smith , f avored the company with sever- al w ell chosen selections through the masterl y mani p ulati o n o f a German accordeon. Several bevies of featherd songsters were exterminated at a sing le pull of the trigger , while seated round the comfortable fire , and the 10 to 20 blankets used ni g htl y to keep the boys warm appeared to drop suddenly below p ar as the old range threw out heat. \Twas just then that \Wood\ Raynor relieved his pockets of Havanas. After a first-class smoke ail round , and a warm shake from the boys , as a-kind of offset to the first shake ol the day, the visitors betook themselves to their triangular whizzers and were soon recounting the ex periences of the afternoon in friend Skinner ' s \Sh anty. \ Add De.

' He w as seen b y s ome of the ice boatman , but not much at- t en tion w a s paid to him , a s it is not uncommon to s ee men w a lking a c r os s the bay. However , he landed at th e P oint of Woods L. S. S., whare he was g iven food , etc. He acted in a very strange mann er and the crew of that st a t i on t h oug ht that he was intoxicat- ed. The next afternoon he broug ht up at Blue Point L. S. S., 10 miles east , wnere ue was given more r ooa. j He th en left , starting in a north erly I direction. This was about o p. m. , on i the 7th. He wandered all over the bay that ni g ht , no doubt , as he was found the next day by Jas. S. Baker , Keeper of Lone Hill Life Saving Station , a bo ut 3 m iles on the bay in a j frost-bitten condition. He was at I once takeu to the station b y Keeper I Baker and Surfman John F. Leach. ' U pon examination he was found to be badl y frost-bitten about the ears , hands and feet. Restoratives were app l yed as soon as possible , and the poor fellow made as comfortable as possible. When found he had no hat and hia hands were bare. 11 is feet were frozen in his boots. He ' , \vill be removed as soon as his condition will permit . These facts are t ecuied direct from Lone Hill Life Saving Station. It is supposed that he was insane. He is of I rish descent. -« Found on the Ice !

Accordingly great pre para- tions were made , guns were overhaul- ed ; cartrid ges put where they could b e easil y secured. All excitement. Capt.

Meantime some of the crew made up their minds to ha ve a little fun b y p uttin g u p a j o b o n Smith Oakle ) r , the f irs t patrol east , and Willis Smith , the fi rst patrol west, They pro- cured a bag, filled it with hay, tied a da rk coat o v e r it , and attached a string to the end. While Oakley and Will wer e getting read y t o go on duty, s e\- erai of the jokers left the house , went eas t a s hort distance , hid behind a hill , laid the bag on the beac h and awaited developments. Soon Smith came alone: . gun in hand , accompanied by Cook - Smith soon espied the bag. Cocking his gun , and telling Cook to \ keep back !\ lie started on a run for the sea-dog. — Pretty soon the boy* gave the bag a twitch , when bang! bang ! wentSmith' s gun , a nd then h e su ng out t o C o ok t o \ come on! \ The boys left and went I Ki ck to the house to report. Before lo ng Smith came back , and as he open- ed the door said : \Y ou did not fool O akley , boys , did you ?\ To have heard the boys shout and Smith try ing to ex- p l a in that he knew all a bo u t it , would have done yon good. And if you want to have some, fun with Smith , just tell him to \keep back. \ After this ep i- sode , th e boys took the bag and went west to lay in wa it for Will Smith. — Soon he came along, walking on the ed ge of the hills. Seeing the bag he stopped , and r ea chin g for his cartrid g- es, loaded his gun , then started on a run for the do\ . H e had not gone but a few feet , when he caught his toe . and over he went! At the same time the gun went off , and Will , thinking he was shot , commenced to yell for Cap t Charlie at the top of his lungs. The boys left , came back , g ot tlie whole crew , w ent out and brought him in. - After g iving him a dose of Dr. Sautell , he graduall y recovere d , and was found to be uninjured.

Charles G reen and Wm. Brown re- turned from Fire Island last Saturday with 225 birds. Capt. Charles Lecluse has purchased the clipper sloop built b y Smith Rog- ers , to run in the oyster trade , between this port anl Xew York. Considera- tion a bout $3(70. Miss Mary Mcconneli has a very su- perior English pug dog known as Itos- coe Conkling. It is hi g hl y prized b y the famil y. Roscoe is full of tricks which can ' t be said of liis illustrious name- sa ke. The schooner W . W. Converse, C ap t. James M. S eaman , recently made the voyage from Baltimore to Providence , R./..(carry ing 1 , 200 tons of coal), in 57 hours , the distance being 650 miles. This is considered one of the quickest pa ssages on record. j C apt. Frank Brown has purchased a very desirable building lot of Lieut. S. C. Seaman, located on Seaman are. opposite Capt. James Seamans ' resi- dence. He will erect a fine summer residence on the lot in the near future. Consideration , $ 500. j Th e Bayport M. E. Church has re- | ceived substantial assistance b y a le g acy ! of 8500 from Mrs. Hannah Paff , who ! died recently. She had also g iven S500 towards the Parish of the E p iscopal ' church. Her name should be written in words of living fire. One of Bayport ' s i esident s was arrest \ ed this week and taken to Riverhcad ' , b y Sheriff Petty, but as the X . -vys is unable to learn full particulars , a , -d not wishing to do an injustice to any i man who may prove himself innocent of a wrong, w e withhold the name of < the unfortunate man. Mrs. Silas Smith , mother of Mr. ' Johnable Smith , the genial boniface of the Bayport House , is quite a remark- , abl e personage , being a well preserved ' ' old lady who has devoted nearl y a life- 1 time to educational matters. She has taug ht a select school fort y-seven years. I Mr. and Mrs. C. W. Hayes , of Brook- : l yn , left for the sunny South , on the 9th inst. The readers of the News ' may possibl y he a r from them bef o r e ' th eir return. They will doubtless oa- ' cupy their summer residence in Bay- ; p ort about the latter part of April . One ni g ht r ecentl y a few invite d guests assembled at the residence of , M r. and Mrs. Monroe Ha wkins. The evening was passed in singing and ' dancing. Three musicians , acconipanied * b y the organ , furuis te d the music , ! which was executed in i P fine manner , ] but when the genial landlady asked the ' guests to promenade to an adjoining room and partake of the eatables , you wonld smile to see how the food disap- 1 peared.

From our own Correspondent. The S chubert Quartette was a grand success on last W ednesday evening. Miss Eva McMi t hon , of Decker town , N. J., is visiting her sister Mrs. Nelson McBride. De puty County Clerk Bartletr , was in town Wednesday. Come again , John- n ie ; always g lad t o see you. Miss Han n ah Huston , formerly of Patcho g ue , now of Lawrence , L. I., is the guest of Mrs. John Potter. Among those from out of the place at th e d cliubert Concert we noticed M rs. T. M. Grilling of Riverhead. The ofiiee of the Central Hotel is be- ing decorated in the latest st y le b y the Messrs. Gleason & Ritch of Bell port. The ice no longer affords the vast am o unt o f e n j oym e nt f or th e lover o f sk ating that it did last week , when all who cared to enjoy themselves with th at portion were afforded an oppor- tunit y. M r. Peter Waters , of Bell port , has pur chased of I. G. Willetts , two acres of land on the south sid * n f the count;;' . road opposite the late r s i c . -i J ence. Mr. \ » Waters ' intention is to erec t a green- hou se in the near future. After the concert Wednesday even- ing the Schubert Quartette gave a re - ceptinn (musiea l e ,) to a select few at the residence of Mr. John A. Po tter , which was enioved hinhlv bv those for- tunate enough to be present , The Leap Year Party in the old Ep is- copal Church next Monday evening is ihe main top ic of conversation amon g the young peop le. This is the crucial test. You can tell now whether your girl likes you better than the other fel- low or not. W e und e rstand t ha t the s chool i s soon to give an exhibition in the Ly- ceum to procure funds to purchase ap- paratus for the school. It is a good idea and we hope it is a fact. It would no doubt be largel y at tended. The dancin g school clos ed on Tues- d ay evening, whether for good has not yet been decided. The school has been fairl y successful , but the professor (De- Witt) has been to large expense , and if continued , the class will probabl y meet in the Town Hall inst ead of the Ly ce- l i T rt . The L. I. R. R. C ompany, thr o u g h their representative , Edwin Bailey, Esq., have purchased the Burke Bros., property. This p la ces the R. R. Com- pany in possession of the land from Oc ean avenue to the river , and so far south as Division street. As soon as the weather will p ermit action will be taken to erect a fine brick de ji ot. Probably th ere is no man who feels the interest of the vill age at heart more than Hon. Edwin Bailey, or; as he is more commonly called , \E d. \ He has just returned from Washington , D. C. where he has interceded with Congress there assembled for the benefit of our vill age in getting an appropriation for the di gg ing out of the river. We learn , through a reliable source th at he was listened to with p leasure by t he of- ficials appointed to?look after those in- t erests and was well assured of success. » - Patcltotr u e. NOTICE.
