below town, and the result
was the demolition of several cars and the
death and manning of number of fine
cattle destined for the eastern markets.
The ice which broke at and above the
Woolen Factory in Woodva!e, on Thurs
day week, made its way down through
the village and gorged at the western end.
The whole of the village is now inanda-
ted, and many of the dwelling houses
have been vacated. For the present,
the anxiety of our citizens is relieved as
to probable danger from food, but there
can be no telling what might be the re-
suit of heavy rain continued for twenty
four hours.
We were glad to see Squire Cox able
to be ont on Saturday, even though on
crutches. He was one of the most Sc
verely injured of the sufferers by the
falling platform at the railroad depot in
September last, and for long time his
recovery was despaired of.
The "ournt district" is yet picture of
ruin, though soon, We understand, build
ing operations will be commenced. A
stately building will adotn the corner
made vacant by the fire. AJAX.
HOW TO KEEP OUR BRANCH RAILROAD RROH
DRIFTING sHUT--A FEW PRACTICAL AND
HIGHLY VALUABLE SUGGESTIONS.
EBENsBURG, FEB. 9, 1867.
To the Editor Of The Atleghonian:
The true and cheapest plan to keep our
Railroad from being blocked up by the snow
is TO build fence on both sides of the road
where it is most subject to being drifted up,
say one hundred feet off from the road on
either side. If bushes of sufficient height
could be planted, perhaps they would be
better they at least would stand with less
repairing than fence. This would break
the force of the wind, and the snow would
stop before reaching the road. This know
by experience and observation to be a fact
In the west end of this borough, On the turn
pike, the wind has fair sweep till it comes
to the fence on the north side of the road
This breaks its force, and the drifting snow
falls on the road to the height of the fence.
Then it will 6ll up to the top Of the fence on
the south side. STEPHEN LLOYD.
