The heFreShet--We are gratifed to learn
(says the Wilamsport Banner) that the two
dams across the PoToMAc, above and below this
place, to supply the CANAL with water, did not
sustain the least injury by the late ice freshet-
These dams were both in an unfinished state; the
one was raised II, and the other 81 feet, G. Meth
er had received the top covering of plankng
which is desired to secure them from exposure
to similar danger to that which they were thus
unexpectedly subjected.
The spectacle presented by the ice and drift
Wood-among the latter many whole trees cut
from the towpath-passing over the dam below
this place, (Which is now 81 feet high,) is said,
by those who witnessed it. to have been one Of
awful grandeur. From their unfinished state
and great heigth, the situation Of the dams was
CRITICAL and the immese masses of ice which
passed down on Tuesday last created here
sensible anxiety for their safety; but, having
stood this shock unframed, all doubts of their
stability may be considered as removed

Thus it would appear that, deducting the sala-

support Of the children in the Asylum has not
exceeded twenty-eight dollars and fraction
each; and the scholars in the Free School two
dollars and forty eight cents each, for the whole
years instruction, taking the number on the
roll as the basis of the calculation.

conducted, may safely be left with the Board of
Managers and their Committee OF Advice.

"We learn that note was received by his

the contractor, that the operators along the
lines were in open rebellion. The Governor
requested the Legislature to pass a law at once,
placing at the disposal of the contractors, any
money in the Treasury not otherwise appropri-
