we could not ascertain, had a narrow es-
capc from drowning last Friday, while
crossing the river on the leo opposite the
upper end Of tho city. He started from
the shore on this side, and when'near the
middle Of the river, Tho leo gave way I'm.
derhim. lie went down, and fortunately
came up again before he was carried under
the nnbroken ice. SEEKING hold of that
which was still firm, he sustained himself
until hclp came Several men who had
been watching him came to his relief,
taking with them some boards to be used
in his rescue. They ycntured out as far
as they considered ii safe to do so, and
then pushed the planks, ono after another,
until the half frozen and drowned man
was reached. lie availcd himself Of the
means Of rescue thus Afforded, and in a

OVER THE Saturday laat as q
countryman was returning from the city,
seated in his wagon to which q span Of
horses were attached, ho met with quite
a mishap, just this side Of the Top Mill.
From some cause not precisely known 10
our informant, man, horses, and wagon
were precipitated over the river bank. In
the wagon was albarrel Of flour, which
bunted on its way down the declivity, and
tho driver received good portion Of Id
contents on his person. Unfortunately
tho man got into the water before he
stopped rolling, converting the flour into
paste, much to his disgust and discomfort
Besides the loss Of tho flour and slight
damage to the harness by cutting TO free
tho horses from their unpleasant position
no injury was sustained worth mention.

The BREAK Ur.-The Ice in the river
commenced TO move out, Saturday morn.
Ing about a quarter past three o'clock.
Considering that 1t was very heavy, the
wonder Is that more damage was not done.
So far as We have heared the loss sustain
ed is very slight Tho wharf boat parted
two Of her chains and drifting q few
yards was again made fast, opposite the
mouth of sprigg alley. Tho coal barge
aground on the bar just above the Sus-
pension bridge, was carried down near
foot Of the Island, and Is now wedged
among the Ice so securely that all efforts
to extricate It would be useless. A tug
made an unsuccessful attempt to do so
Saturday evening. The barges Of the
Hercules, tied up at South Wheeling,
were pretty considerably jostled, but none
We believe, were destroyed. Three Of
them were pushed out on shore, but are
lying straight and can DO easily got of;
another Is in rather dangerous position
and may be cut down by the Ice before 1t
can be removed. The II. went 10 Rates
Rock Saturday, to look after portion Of
her tow which was tied up atthat point
Wed not hear the result. The steam.
boats just behind tho point above the
Water Works, escaped without sustaining
tho least injury so far rs we have heared.
Altogether the break up was decidedly
tame affair, and occurring at the hour it
did, was seen by but very persons in this
locality. .--. M ---IL.l I.
