break about o'clock, and vas at one time smned up
az ainst the bridge but coon moved down tbs stream
at the rate Of ten or twelve miles hour. Hundreds
went to witness the breaking up but mist prevented
a good view Of the river. During the evening the

The gravel pres MED the appearance Of huge icebergs,
at least twenty feet high. The water in the Assanpns
Creek has not been high foI many years as was
Yesterday, and should the ice in the river not
move off coon. great damage must ensus to the mills
and other property along its banks From appearances
last eyenI the water power banks were in danger as
the ice jammed in the river below the bridge and
the wafer was Using RAPIDLY.
