Threatened Overflow.

Our limited knowledge OF the vagaries
of the Ohio river prevents us from pre-
dieting with any safety the probability
of its submerging the Island and our
city, but relying upon the assertions we
heard yesterday from the lips of some
of the Coolest inhabitants" we can
warn the citizens of the Island that
off" il continues to rise they will be
compelled to seek shelter in the second
and third stories of their houses. But
if the; partake of any of the qualities
that go to make up fish they
will be in their element, particularly
those who inhabit houses only one-story
high. 1t would be good plan, in or
to he on the sure side and to render
ourselves safe from meeting the fate
of the Outsiders" during Noah's time,
to build one or two small arks, sufii-
GENTLY large to hold several families
each, to be on hand in cases of emcrgGn-
cies. This would be a splendid idea,
one which would relieve the fears
of many who expect to be swallowed
up by flood.
In anticipation of this great deluge
steamboatmen have been making ar
rangements to carry away all the port
able public property and will, in few
days, make IN effort to carry the sus.
pension bridge to span some OF the val
legs on their way. across the country.
Some gentlemen propose that all the
drays and carts should be employed in
hauling dirt from the hills back of the
city for the purpose of building the
Island higher and to assist in erect
ing barrier between the city and the
water. 1t is possible that this suggestion
may be accepted. 1t will depend a great
deal upon the state of affairs this morn
ing what is going to be done, and as we
said before, "if'' the river continues to
rise, something will have to be done,
q nd ait were better that it be done
quickly"

Progressing.
The work of cleaning the streets goes
bravely forward, and if we have favor
able weather for u few days or week
longer our city will be completely rid
of the superAuous mud. Great credit is
due the Street Commissioner for the
energetic manner in which he is having
this work pushed forward towards CON-
pletion, as we know from personal OBJ
servation of the condition of the streets
that it is attended with great labor.

Escape of Prisoners from the Penn.
tertiary. ....
Yesterday afternoon between four and
five o'clock, number of the prisoners
confined in the Penitentiary at Mounds
Vile, succeeded in making their escape.
Nine of them were seen running to-
wards what is called Graves run pur-
sued by about a hundred persons, arm
ed with pistols, guns, clubs and stones,
but the prisoners had distanced their
pursuers about six hundred yards, and
it is thought that this party succeeded
in making their escape.
Our informant made several efforts
to obtain some of the particular how
the prisoners broke out, but no one in
the vicinity of the depot at Moundsville
seemed to know anything about it..
This may be accounted for in the sup
position that all who heard that the
prisoners had got out Joined the
crowd in their pursuit. The peo-
pie were seen running in different
directions and from this the i'm
preston prevails that nearly all the
prisoners, numbering upwards of hun
dred, were free from the walls of the
penitentiary and were travelling in diff
ferent ways. One darkey was seen
from distance to have been overtakeH
by his pursuers and captured. That is
the only one we have heard of out of
all the number as being retaken. We
are informed that Superintendent
McFadden, of the Penitentiary, was alb
sent at BGpwood, at the time the pris-
oners made their escape.

A Mistake.

A Mistake.
1t is mistake to think that the more
man eats, the fatter and stronger he
becomes. To believe that the more
hours children study at school the faster
they learn. To conclude that If exer'
else is good for the health, the more
violent and exhausting it is the more
good is done. To imagine that every
hour taken from sleep is an hour gained
To act on the presumption that the
smallest room in the house is large
enough to sleep in.

n Certain Sign.

= Boys are perfect barometers; they
seem naturally to Judge the coming OF
the different seasons by the beat
ing of their pulse, and they
commence the change from winter to
spring; from spring to summer, and
from summer to winter by varied sue
cession of boyish sports; which are I'M
mistakeable 'That the spring-time has
come" is demonstrated by the crowds
of little urchins who hover on the sun
ny side of the streets, with their peck
cts full of marbles, their knees all dirt,
anxiously engaged in the laborions task
of playing marbles. They will soon do
away with this, and kite flying and
other sports of the season will be the
order of the day,
Boys will be boys; and, as they can
be boys but once in life time, let the
little fellows be happy while they can.
The cares of life will come soon enough,
and he is hard hearted wretch who
would throw single impeachment in
the way of boys enjoyment.
