LOCAL AFFAIRS.

GENERAL BREAK UP-Ics FIocd.-The mod
crate weather prevailing last week. with oe-
casioHal rain and heavy fegs, had the effect Of
melting the snow and ice very generally. On
Saturday evening Kishacoquillas and Jacks
creeks poured = considerable body of water
into the river, which continued until Sunday
morning, when the latter also began TO rise
About ii O'clock heavy body of ice broke
up below the bridge, forcing It's way down
the dam and forming occasional gorges, which
however were quickly broken up. A few
hours after the ice above the bridge gave
way, and for 8 while came down in masses
that shook that structure 70 its foundations
the river In the meanwhile having risen from
sixteen to eighteen feet above low water mark
The ice was of unusual thickness, aud almos.
az the start knocked out some stones frsn the
first pier, which gradually gave way until
about One-third Of it had been dismantled-
Contrary to general expectation the super
structure continued in its place, with no percep-
tlbla injury except slight sinking Of the
second span. Il IS hove7eE rendered impas-
sable, except for foot passengers, thus for
time cutting of all trade with the railroad
Some Of the other piers were also slightly in
jured. The company Immediately set 10
work for the purpose Of making such tempo
rary repairs as 10 render it safe, and if the
weather should not prove TOO boisterous, it
will probably be in condition for the passage
of vehicles at the close Of the week.
Tha, the bridge was not carried away bod,
lily IS undoubtedly owing 10 the railroad
J bridges absve, as had not the solid stone piers
of those structures broken up the ice. it must
have given way. Notwithstanding cold
rain which set in during the afternoon, the
river shore was lined with persons watching
the moving panorama Of ice and water, now
and then relieved by drift, weed, skif, fat,
fish basket, or fock of geese, who, strange
y enough, seem to enjoy ride on cake u
ice amazingly We noticed four skitF. in
sight at one time.
The canal has suffered considerable dam
age, and If the Newton Hamilton dam Is bro
ken as badly as reported, navigation will
hardly be resumed from the Narrows uu BE-
fore May or June. The le7el below this place
might readily be put in boating order by OBJ
tanning the water pswar from Sterrett's Lew
istown Mills, which having steam power il
addition, could readily dispense with it for a
time. Should affairs above be IS bad as rep
resented, this would be the proper course for
the Canal Commissioners 70 pursue. The

dergoing soEle repairs, and was nearly finish

On the following day the Speaker stated

asking for the right Of suffrage, 10 select
committee composed Of the bachelor members
Of the House. L: was difficult for him to
appoin: the committee, not being acquainted
with the domestic relations Of members. He
wished that the bachelor members would rise
in their seats, in order that the CLERK might
take Down their names.
The following gentlemen were then ap-
pointed On said committee:
Messrs. M'Calmont. Ljngaker. Backhouse.
Hiestand, Hines. Knight Vickers. Ramsey.
lPhilatelphia,l Benson. Wagonsel!cr, West
brook, Calhoun aud Eyster.
In the House, the Speaker announced the
following committee to prepare a bill spPor-
siouing the State into Senatorial and Repre-
sentative districts, in pursuance Of = rssolu-
ti0n 70 that effect:
Messrs. Fystcr, Mumms, Calhoun, Ball,
Roberts, Penrosa. Yearsley. Smith, Cam
bri2. Longaker, Backhguse, Pstrikin, Heinesr
Innis, Benson and llute.
Mr. Petgikin, from the select committee in
relation to the contested scat # John Ram
sey, made report which vas signed by all
VI the Committee, in favor Of allowing Mr..
Ramsey his seat. contested by George Il.
Smith of Philadelphia, which was accepted
BY the House and the Committee was dis
charged 4 resolution was passed allowing
Mr.. Smith mileage and pay Al the rate Of 81
per day for the time he has been c5ntssting
the seat Of Mr. Ramsey.
A bill was intresuced by Mr Eys.er, Of
Allegheny county, making every description
of property in the State subject to taxation
for ali purposes, except burial grounds, CEN
eteries. and such buildings and property as
are purchased and sustained by general
fund raised By legal taxation, and except such
corporations as are especially exempt from
taxation by the law creating them. This eI-
cep;ion would include court houses, jsils
county buildings and other public property
built and sustained either By the State OF
F. County taxation. The bill would subject 10
taxation for all purposes. State, county, bor-
cugh or township and school, al the church
property in the State not especially exempted
by the charter Of the corporation holding
such property. Mr.. Pesrikcn proposes, in a
bill offered BY him in the House, TO exempt
the salaries Of presidents and professors ot
colleges. and teachers in academies and COM
mon sca0Vls. frsm taxation.
in .he Senate, Mr.. Penrose has introduced
bill au;horising sale Of the Main Line %
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company for
$9, 900, 600 Of stock in thas company. The
principal features Of the lii are that in case
Of such sale the Governor IS to subscribe
S,00J,000 Of said stock to the Suubury and
Erie Railroad Company, and the Railroad
Company IS released FROM the tonnage tax,
tax on dividends, and interest on the bonds
and land or property. This, it will at once
be seen, would do little or nothing towards
reducing the public debt, and therefore ought
to meet with no favor.
