Luth, list ana I'd ult., IN the mountains OF the
neghborhood Of Bouger, have been confirmed. Tho
snow storm and cold was so intense, that about one
hundred and forty -four men have been buried in the
precipices aud nearly all the soldiers and officers
who arrived at Bouger went to the hospital. Never
has such a disaster been met with by the French
troops since the passage Of the Belesina and the
campaign of Russia.
Diplomatic notes Of an exciting nature have been
exchanged between the French and Bel gan cabinets,
relative to masquerade which appeared few
weeks ago in the city of Client, by which Louis
Napoleon and his friends had been grossly insulted
Jhe same difficulties have been encountered by the
Swiss government at Bale, where, the lst instant,
masquerade was organized, representing Louis
Napoleon disguised as monkey, and followed by a
ccttain number of French generals, statesmen, and
citizens, with long of jackasses Songs of the
most insulting nature had been publicly sung, and
copies Of them distributed to the public The officer
Of regiment of cavalry had tried to prevent this
scandal, but without effect. The Ballots Governor
| knew for ten days previous that this masquerade
was TO take place, and did nothing to prevent
! it. What will result from this :" ridiculous muss,"
From Piedmont, We receive intelligence that
| the most violent riot had takon place at Sassar,
| in Sardinia, during the last days of February.
| The surrender of order had fonented a civil war
| in that city, and occasioned great trouble. The
| city was finally placed in q state of siege, and
General Durando received orders to punish all the
! rioters The National Guard was ordered to give
back all their muskets, and on the same day Goth
| inst) more than 5000 guns had been surrendered
| to the authorities.
AT home, bank bills have been redeemed ny the
government to the amount OF 6l2, 400 scudi (dol-

ICE DAMS.

The Susquehanna is literally choked with
ice dams, the result of the severe cold
weather and the low stage Of water. The
West Branch of the Susquehanna from
within two miles this side Of Milton, to
Lock Haven, distance of sixty miles,
is mostly clear Of ice, the whole Of which
is piled up in dams, within space OF five
or six miles, commencing about five miles
above Northumberland, and extending about
two miles above the Lewisburg bridge
The river road between Vincents Mill and
Milton is rendered impossible by the rise
Of water. The stone bridge at Chilisqua-
que is under water, and the only way of
passing is over the acqueduct. The water,
we understand, is above the first floor Of the
Hotel at the east end of the Lewisburg
bridge, and some fears are entertained for
the safety of that structure. Should the
accumulated mass of ice pass off suddenly
by high water, it is supposed the State
Bridge over the West Branch, at Northum.
berland, will be in imminent danger.

FIRE AT FOLLOWING RUN.

We regret to learn that the store, and
house occupied by VIM. Hoover, at Hol
lowing Run, about six miles below this
place, was entirely consumed by fire, on
Wednesday night last, about 1 o'clock
MIR. Hoover had come down stairs before
retiring, and observing the back door open,
thought his clerk had probably gone OUT
He returned and went to bed, and not hear
ing him come, upon inquiry found that
his clerk was in bed, and that the door had
been locked. After lying awake some
time, he concluded going down again, to
close the door, when he heard the roar of
fire in the store below. One Of his neigh
bors came running with bucket of water,
but on going to the well for more they
found the rope had been cut and the
bucket in the well, and before they could
get water from the mill race, the fire got
under such headway, as TO render their eff
forts unavailable. The whole building, to.
gether With all his furniture, excepting a
little bedding, &C., was entirely destroyed.
In the store there was nothing saved ex-
cept his books, and We regret to say $500
in money which be had placed 10 book,
was either destroyed or stolen. From the
circumstances, and the fact that the well
rope had been cut, it is fair 10 presume
that some person had entered the store,
taken the money, aud then fired the build
ing TO prevent discovery. The building
was owned by Henry Masser, Esq, oi
this place. The roofs of Mr.. Masser'.
mill and the miller's house close by, were
also on 6re, bat were saved by the effort.
of the miller, Mr.. Hoover and some o
the neighbors. Mr., Masser is but partially
insured, and Mr.. Hoover also, in the Ly.
coming Insurance Company, Mr.. Hoove,
had commenced business but few year
since, and was getting along very well BY
his economy, industry and good character
and we trust his present loss will be bu
temporary.

pARpoNIse POWER.

Our Governors exercise this prerogative
with free hand. We recollect that Gov
ernor Porter and Governor Skunk were
both severely censured for the number Of
pardons they had granted. Governor John.
sion, however, has entirely eclipsed them
in his operations at the close Of bis term
During the last seventeen days he granted
no less than fiity-three pardons. The Gov
ernor, in this respect often occupies per-
picking and most trying position. Appeals
are made in every form and shape, some OF
which it is impossible to resist, unless eve
ry feeling Of humanity is completely oblit-
Grated. We have heard Governor Porter,
on several occasions, relate sumo most try
ing and touching scenes that occurred du-
ring his administration. The old chief,
though firm and decided, as he was, had
too much of the milk of human kindness 10
resist all such appeals. A woman in tears
dressed in the habiliments of woe, implor.
ing for mercy, for an erring son or husband
would unnerve almost any man, and suct
scenes are not uncommon in the Executive
Chamber. Still public justice requires tha
the decisions of courts and juries should no
be disturbed for light and trivial causes.
