CINCINNATI. - The Commercial Of
Tuesday says:
Yesterday at o'clock A. NJ the ice
in Licking River broke and run out
freely all day. without serious damage.
A loaded coal barge, belonging to Mr..
Risher, Of Pittsburg, together with
an empty barge, owned by the Syra
cuse Coal Co, was swept off by the
ice from Decker's Landing, near
Phillips Rolling Mill. We could
hear of no other damage in that
stream. The rushing tide and heavy
ice out of Licking, pushed the float
ing ice in the Ohio River over to the
Ohio shore, eRdangering the boats
at the levee. At 10 o'clock A.
NJ, a huge cake caught the
Fleetwood, lying below the foot of
Main Street. She had out four lines
and one cable, al of which was in
stantly parted, when she was swept off
down the river without steam, barely
escaping a collision with the mail- boat
United States, lying below the foot of
VINE Street. The tow-bOat Cham
plon observing her condition, started
to relieve her, but, fortunately for the
Fleetwood. she swung into the shore,
near the foot of Central Avenue,
where her crew succeeded in getting
out lines and making a landing with
safety. She raised steam during the
afternoon, and came back to her old
berth, where she lies all right, after
her perilous voyage. The same field

steamers at the levee, and tore some

The gorges along the lower Ohio

is fully resumed, with a rapid rise in
all the tributaries, and fully twelve
feet of water out over the Portland |

The other day the Evansville jour

true. She didn't break the shaft |
Louisville mended. Louisville didn't |
mend it.

We were misled by a louisville paper,

mended there, and would never break |
again. Il was stuck - together at
