Portsmouth, O., Jan. 19 - While skating on the Ohio river Miss Beulah Manuel, Miss Bessie Thompson, Miss Carrie Hacquard and Mrs. Clark, all from Sciotoville, broke through and had miraculous escaped from being drowned.  A crowd of boys formed into a human chain and rescued the party.  Mrs. Clark and Miss Hacquard were resuscitated with great difficulty, and are still in a critical condition.
