SUsQUEHANEAH RAFTING-The high water,
says the Columbia Spy, has, as was expected,
brought US feet of RATS from the headwaters,
but not so large proportion of the Spring sup
ply Of lu nber as we had anticipated. The
shore has been pretty we'll lined with RATS
during the week, both above and below the
bridge, most Of which arrived on Wednesday
and Thursday. The lumber, as far as we can
ascertain, is principally from Pine Creek and
the Sinncmaboniug There have been bnt few
RATS from the North Branch, and they report
but partial freshct in these waters The RATS
from that reg on barely got through, and
found the water increased as they descend
The freshet on the West Branch was general,
and most of the lumber got out except a por-
ton still in the headwaters of pine Creek
The reports from the South indicate heavy
rains and high water, and the freShet in the
West Branch is reported to have proceeded
mostly from heavy floods in streams running
from the south the northern branches were
not very high. This will account for the lack
of water in the North Branch.

RSg- A singular and sad affair happened the
other day at Buffalo. A family arrived there,
consisting of man, his wife and two children
Both the man and the woman were insane, ,and
both exhibited very nearly the same symptoms
their minds tending to similar halucnations,
and their irrational conversation being upon
much the same subjects. 1t was supposed that
they had taken some noxious drug. They
were both conveyed to the Insane Asylum and
precautions taken to prevent them from iDjur-
ing themselves Or others. In spite of these,
however, the man wrenched an iron handle
from his door, and managed to cut his throat
with it, SO that he died from the loss of blood.
The womau, in one of her lucid moments, said
they came from Kentucky, but could not tell
the town or county Of her residence.

A FIRE CoUNrRY.-The Baltimore Patriot
of Thursday, chronicles the disgraceful break
ing up of the Maryland Republican Conven.
ton in that city. Hon. Montgomery Blair
was made Chairman of the Convention and
made very neabAnd moderate speech on tax,
ing his seat Hon. +. P Blair, of Montgom-
cry county, and Judge Marshal, of Baltimore,
were appointed delegates at large, and Messrs
Jas. Bryan, w. p. Ewing, F. S. Corkran, Dr.
Weiss, VIM. Amour, and w. Bonifant district
delegates. At this stage of the meeting the
following outrage was perpetrated
A band of lawless men rushed towards the
Presidents chair, crying put them out" which
at once dissolved the Convention. Indeed at
intervals throughout the meeting there were
the most disgraceful and riotous demonStra-
tions, which we deeply regre as we had hop
ed that Baltimore would never more have her
fair fame Soiled with such demonstrations, and
fix upon her foul blot that years upon years
will not be sufficient to efface. We also re-
gret that under the new police system, from
which so much was promised, that there would
have been force sufficient to have overawed
and quelled these disturbances, as there was
ample time from the commencement of these
rotous scenes to have had at that point the
entire police force of the city"
Such is freedom aud decency in the city of
Baltimore
