and being dragged out ny the horses. Mrs.
i.adsoa remained floating in the body of the
sled and holding her child on the sde-bo:rd,
for an hour and a half, while Mr.. Minty
went for assistance She was taken ont alive
but died before reaching a house. Her child
was saved FROM drowning only by her per
severing and self sacrificing efforts, The
bodies were all recovered within short
distance CT the spot at which the sad acci
dent occurred. The party had been visiting
friends at Millersburg, Mrs. Barge lived al
Milersbprg the others near Copper Greek

CRAZE CULTURE IN IowA.-Frisnd Nahin::
Il am so we'll pleased with Mr.. Mothers
directions for raising grapes that I would
recommend every farmer and gardener who
takes the Journal to file it away, or cut it
out and put it into scra2::hook. for future
.c,crSq2s. ! urge this because, from my
experience the past few years, and that of
the most practical men in our prairie
country, believe the grape can be raised
here as we'll as at Cincinnati. Mr.. Soulard,
of Galena, says he has "raised grapes six
years at St Louis and twenty years at Galena,
and he prefers the climate Of Haiena to that
Of St louis or Cincinnati.' Here we must
prune and cover the vine, in the Fall. in the
soil, which is but little work. s. FOSTER.

STATE DISTRIBUTION OF SEEDS. - VIM.
Duane Wilson, Secretary of the Iowa Farm
ers' College, requests US to announce that he
is now prepared to furnish seeds to agricul-
tural clubs and societies, on application Of
their Secretaries, or to reliable individuals
who may write to him. Hon. James Harlan
has donated to the Agricultural College all
his proportion of seeds coming from the
Patent Office, believing that through this
medium they may fall into more discrimin:
atiye apd reliable hands. The Secretary
announces that he will have fair quantity
of several kinds Of sugar cane seed, obtained
at home and abroad also tomato leed, two
new varieties Of cabbage, Hubbard squash,
&c, &c. - all very superior, and sufficient,
perhaps, to supply all demands to limited
extent, enough, at least, to raise seed for
next years use.

Great Flood in the Hudson River
nj ALBANY.

Great Flood in the Hudson River
at Albany.
Immense Destruction Of Property by The
Bredking Up Of the Ice-A portion Of the
CITY OVERTURNED.
ALBANY, N. Y, Feb. Is.
The ice commenced moving in the river
about quarter past o'clock, this morn
ing, opposite the city. The breaking up was
sudden, and attended by noise like thunder
Within twenty minutes after the start, the
water rose four feet, and has been rising ever
since, until at present 1880 o'clock TIE rise
is about seven to eight feet. The destruction
OF property is large, the ice being blocked
below the city. The damage in business is
roughly estimated at 100000. Boats, pro-
pelors and other craft were driven up by
the force of the ice. A heavy tow boat ana
other boats were driven through the first story
of the frame freight depot Of the New York
Central Railroad, the whole front being
knocked out, and the building, which is very
long and two stories high, is very much
damaged. Two machine shops, owned by
Mr.. Puncheon, were destroyed in similar
manner. At the foot of Hamilton street,
propeller was driven through the wall of the
Dudley House, which stands on the corner of
the Quay. The damage to produce and pro-
visions in store is comparatively small, as the
dock-men had strong force of hands out
during the night, in anticipation of the danger.
The water in some places is up to Broadway.
In Maiden Lane, the food already reaches to
Stanwix Hall. Cellars and Easements as
high as Green street are filling. At present,
there is but little prospect of an abatement Of
the flood. State street and Columbia street
bridges have been broken to pieces and par
TALLY swept away. The ruins of bridges,
propellors, tow-boats barges and other craft
lie smashed together in heap.
1t is impossible at present to give any |
adequate idea Of the damage done, but the
destruction cas- been more sudden and rapid
than in 1889, though the water has not yet
reached nearly so high.
No intelligence yet from Greenbush, but
the flood on the Hudson River Railroad side !
Of the river must be heavy.
