Marie, writes to his father in this city describing the attack on the Montreal ice palace as follow-;: After all they let us go out last night to see the attack on the ice palace, and it was the prettiest sight I ever saw. We had a tine place right in front of the palace, so that we could seethe mountain, (Mont Healor Mount Koyal, frotn winch Montreal takes its name,) and the palace also. It had thawed in the middle i f the day, which made the ice very clear, and besides they had lit it up with electricity, which gave the ice a clear, green color, which was very pretty. We hadn’t been there long when the snow-shoe clubs went past—the Tuque Verte, (emeralds,)Tuque Hh ue, (blues,) Tuuue Kouge, (reds,)Montrealers, (150 men,) English clubs, and Trappeurs, a French club. They ascended the mouutain (which rises abruptly from the streets of Montreal) with red, blue and green lights and Greek fire, and when they hadwound round the mountain until they looked like a long trail of different colors, they began to ftro off the Gatling guns they had iti the northwest. Then red and green lights began to light up the snow on the mountain an i rockets went off which burst in the air. The bauds played as they marched back to the ice palace, which was lit up red In the middle, with red smoke pouring from it to make it look like the storming of a castle. Gn the highest tower, from which floated the British iiag, they put red fire and twelve Homan candles with twenty balls of all co lor ft, which they set off all at once. The snow-shoers outside (500 men) also set off their Homan candles, nu l the air was just full of red and blue lights. This went on for fifteen minutes, when they made the towerwith trie American tiag blow up. That is to say, they made fire ftquirt out and sky rockets which burst in the air and Homan candies, in the last display everything went off at once, and smoke, red tire, red, blue and green lights, with ail kinds of sky rockets, filled the air. The Gatling guns were also fired. The effect on the ice was beautiful. At first it was a transparent red m the middle, with clear green at the towers, and then it suddenly changed to other tints. went outin the city on a walk and saw the Maze or Labyrinth. It is made ofwallsof ice going round each other and topped by battlements, and whoever gets iuto the interior obtains as a prize a hot cupful of a certain preparation of ‘fluid beef.’ ”—The funeral of Mrs. Marv E.
