CLosING LEYs.-Application will be
made to the gircnit Court nazt week for
orders yacating many Of the alleys in Lam
caster; the application covers the more
important blocks and several OF less impor-
tance, and greatly interests all property
holders 10 town. The proper means Of
defense should be resorted TO at once by
lhose opposed to closing the alleys. By a
decision of the Supreme Court, when such
by>ways are vacated, the lalds thereof
become the property Of the owners Of
ADJACENT lots. These alleys are valuable
on main streets, worth three to five dollars
per foot, and more toe, counting front and
rear ends; those situated in blocks back
from main streets ale wsrth one to two
dollars per foot; the entire value Of alleys
for which application has been made to
yacate, may be two thousand dollars, per-.
haps more. Such property was reserved
by the original proprietors as public props
erty, Just as much as the streets and court
yard; they all belong to the public, were
never transferred to adjacent lot holders,
and if vacated at all should be paid for BY
those to whom they are 10 go when vacat
ed. 1t will be seen that the amount in
yolved is large, and Of course a strong
effort will be made to vacate The town
the alleys we mean. 1t will reqpise
strong commencing efforts, one or two
lawyers, some money and so on to prevent
the wholesale vacation cf alleys. Those
alleys are convenient, not only as thorough
fares bat for hauling in wood, and stable
privileges. By closing them, people
will have TO unload their fuel in the streets,
build their barns and pig pens on the
streets, as several have already had 70 do
in consequence of the alleys being closed.
Heretofore, by agreement Of the lot pro
prietors in a block the alleys have been
closed il such bio, k this seems to us suf-
ficient without asking for an ownership Of
The lands and the right to sell them.---
Already The privilege Of closing exists in
blocks where the proprietors are agreed !;
where not agreed the right does not exist,
and we think should not exist.

Destructive Flood at Nvatel loo
C5rant1n Rage Dam Torn Away.
On Wednesday the % ult., Grant Riv-
erwa swollen,--by the rain which fell
upon that day and upon the night pre-
ceding-- 10 aa alarming height; tho ugh
though the day, but little danger was
appohended. But as night approached
The danger became more appalling. The
Hver continued TO rise at steady but
rapid rate, until about ten O'Clock, p. p.
When the enormous flood Of water and
ice, more furious lhan ever, came rushing
madly along, sweeping before it every
thing that Was Of NOV cable nature.
The entire Dam was torn away; the
north buttment which was built new
only last fall = was so completely swept
away that one would hardly be able 10
identify its original locality. It next
made an attack upon the fume Of the
Grlst Mill; stove in the fialne and tearing
out some Of the under,pinning Of The Mill;
rushing in its wanton career, sweeping off
fences, hay stacks and whatever might
come in its way.
The writer, in accommodating the ruins
The next morning, approached the river
shout three miles below the village; then
followed its mean4eripgs up TO where the
Dam had formerly stood. From where
We first struck the river, as far down as we
eoald see, and for more than two miles
upwards, all that could Be seen Of its chan.
mel was one complete Jam Of ice wedged
M IN every conceivable manner
The bottom, sbout Two miles below he
Town, known as the ST. John bottom
which we have no knowledge Of ever be-
ing overlooked before by the head waters
OF Grant, was entirel, immersed.
On the first bottom below the Mill, there
", 5 more than ten acres covered With ice,
piled up from four % eight feet high.
As we approached town on the main
avenue, there lay at our left han3 niles
Of ice full five feet high, on a b.,pk no,
less than eight feet above low vater. bn,
what was next astonishing, sas 10 see
what wonderful thickness the ice had made
IN so mild a winter; We measured
