Break Up In the River at Madison.
sINKENa op rnE ON, nrE11.

MADISON, IND, December 4.-The rise
In the OHIO reached this place about hall
past one o'clock to-day, breaking up tho
ice gorge, the huge cakes Of ice carving
everything before them. Tho steamers
Zen. Buell. and Nat Williams, and the
ferry boat Belle Of Milton were sunk.
The steamer Henry ProbaSco, lying al
the Marine ways, was carried BY tbe
ice from two to three hundred wards
down the river, when she was secured 10
the shore BY means Of extra cables, very
slightly damaged. Several barges and
flats were also carried awayor sunk. The
ferry boat Is battered and broken, leaking
In every seam, and Is now crowded on
tho shore. The Buell. lies in about four
feet oI water, and should the rise continue
till the water covers her deck the damage
will be very extensive. Her guards are
already badly damaged. One Of the huge
pieces Of oak, ten inches square, which
supports the cabin was snapped In twain
like reed. The ice Ia running very heavy
and weather extremely cold.
Capt David Leper, OF the stcamepGen
eral Buell., dispatches from Madison, Ind ,
that the gorge below that place caused
eight feet rise Of water aud then broke,
when floating ice cut downSthe Louisville
y Cincinnati mail steamer, General Buell.
this afternoon. In sinking she settled
easy and It is though the recediug Of the
river will save her. Hopes are entertain
ed that the rise in the Ohio river now run
ming out will keep 1t open till the cold
spell passes away.

THE COUNTY COURT Bn1.-The atten.
tiOn of city and county readers Is directed
to the accurate copy printed in this issue
Of the bill recently passed by the Leglsla.
ture for the organization Of this county.
1t will be seen that the board of super.
visors Is continued, except that 1t is called
q board Of commissioners. The net re-.
suit of the business, so far as this county
Is concerned, is that a Judge with a
salary oftwo thousand dollars Is added to
the official machinery Of this county. We
now have two local judges, costing "a 900,
In additonto a circuit Judge and the usual
number of justices. This may not be too
much judiciary, but 1t is a good deal Of
money to pay for Judicial lore for this one
county.

FROZEN TO DEATH.-A man named
NJ. O'Donnell was found frozen to death
yesterday morning, In the race just above
the -four mill at Elm Grove. 1t Is believ.
ed that the unfortunate man lost his way
home in the darkness, and in the delirium
and stupor produced by the keen and Bit
ing cold, had wandered to the spot where
his body was found, and sitting down,
passed into "that sleep which knows no
waking" Deceased's house was not
many rods distant-and perished almost
within sight Of vile and children. Our
informant passed Elm Grove, yesterday
morning, before it had been determined
whether an inquest would be held, or not.
A son Of the deceased had but recently re.
turned home from the west, and was to
have been married to-day.

THE BALL AT FRIENDS BUILDING
The ball given by a number Of young
gentlemen, Monday evening, at Friends
new building on Main street, eclipsed in
numbers and brilliancy anything Of a
similar character in this city for many
years. The large rooms were handsome
ly fitted up and furnished. Tho iurni-
ture in the dressing apartments was par
ticularly fine, comprising, as 1t did, the
very best found in the immense stock Of
Messrs. Friend 8 Son.
About one hundred couples, represen-
tatives from Pittsburgh, Steubenyille and
the beauty and fashion oil our own city,
assembled in the magnificent rooms re-
ferred to, and passed the hoursuntil flour
o'clock in the morning" in dripping the
light fantastic toe" to the music OF Kra-
mers uprivalled band. During an in
termission about e the witching hour
of twelve" the gay party adjourn
| cd TO the room in which Char
| ley Behler, the Prince Of Caterers
had spread feast. "at for the gods"
With appetites whetted by the "mazy
dance" a vigorous attack all along the
line was made on the choice viands, and
ample justice done to the attractive bill
OF iare. II any proof had been wanting
that Behler knows how to get up q first
class supper on such an occasion, a glance
at the table Monday night would have
furnished It. Dancing was resumed aftsi
the refreshment part Of tho programme
had been disposed Of, and was kept ur
until everybody was satisfied that theil
cup Of pleasure was full. Not the slight
est unpleasant incident transplred to csst
q shadow over the festivities, and every
one left the hall regretdng that q long
time would probably intervene between
the happy occasion Just closed and tht
next one on an equally expensive aut
magnificent scale. sah
