Breaking up Of the Ice Taoeaty-tb three Boats
ed,-Another great disaster has befallen
our city. The long. dreaded event of the
breaking up of the ice which for two months
gorged the Mississippi and all its tributary
streams has come at last, and brought with it
a destruction Of our marine interests far tran
scending anything that was anticipated -
Twenty hours since, our levee was crowded
with steamers-now not perfect hull re-
mains. All have been swept down that Inv
opposite the central part of the city-erushed
into common ruin by the Overwhelming
masses of accumulated ice. Broken cables
chains with their links drawn to threads, a
few shattered spars, alone remain to tell the
story OF stately We sells that were justly es.
teemed the pride of the Western waters.
AT few moments after o clock on yester-
day the alarm was given that the gorge had
commenced to break, and slowly, at first, and
maiestcally the floating fields began to move;
then, gathering force and rushing in upon the
boats, it lifted some out upon the bank. while
thirteen others were carried below and strand.
ed upon the bars, where they were rapidly cut
into ribbons A few Of them that drifted
into the bend Of The river. although strained
in every timber, fortunately escaped further
damage. For some time the ice continued to
foat OIL, but after few hours again gorged,
causing additional destruction to those steam
ers that still lay at the shore. Anxious sus-
pense then ensued The Mississippi was ris-
ing rapidly, and it was well known that the
next breakup would be even more terrific
than the preceding one.
ATT 3r4 o'clock, the tolling Of the bells
and the confused shouts that burst upon the
stiffness Of the night, told that the ice was
again in motion. Ton vessels, including
among them two wharf boats that had been
sheltered from the first violence, were torn
from their fastening, hurled one upon anoth
er and sent crashing and drifting along the
front Of the leyee.
The scene was truly appalling to those who
were merely spectators, while the heroic ex-
ertions Of the commanders and officers who
stood to their decks amid the falling of tim.
bers and the sinking OF vessels, doing all that
men could do TO save them, was u thrilling
exhibition of most true courage in tho mo-
men: Of intense peril.
A dark night and a beating rain that en-
sued added dismalness and dreariness TO the
OCCASION, and left those who might struggle
with the clements almost hopeless task be-
fore them. The additional boats were thus
wreeted from the shore, and ianmed amid
the heuped up fakes that hurried them along,
met like fate with the steamers that had
been carried off in the afternoon.

ADLEs' PATENT HOG PEN.-A wide awake
Yankee down in Connecticut, named Ablo, has
invented an improved hog pen and feeding
trough, which is likely to prove fortune to
him, from the fact that wherever it is seen its
merits are appreciated to such an extent that
the demand becomes universal. The improve
ment can be attached to any kind of a hog
pen, and it 10 of such nature as to enable the
poison having charge of the limals, to feed
them or shut them from their feed in a mo-
ment of time, and to prevent the smallest
particle Of food from being wasted in the pro.
cess OF feeding. The contrivance is simple,
neat and effective, and the inventor claims
that the use Of it will enable the owner of it
TO realize saving of SO per cent.
This hog-pen has been exhibited ut tho
Smithsonian Institute at the State Aor;oul,r-
raj Fairs Of New York, Vermont. and Con.
necLcut, at the Crystal Palace, where IL won
a medal. At the New York and yorror,
Fairst won the highest awards of tho resnoc.
tive Societies, and thor highest praise. A do.
scription Of Il can DO found in the Scientific
american, and the agent, who is now In this
city, will be happy to explain its operation and
take the orders Of those who wish to adopt
il.

committed some disgraceful act, their names were

the act which they committed, the more eccen-
trio and unpronounceable was the name given
