CooLING.-The Harrisburg Patriot
says the ice in the susquehanna river is thicker
this winter than it has been for years past. At
that point ii averages fifteen inches At Williams
port II is reported two feet thick, and at Muncy,
where 1t is being cut out to make place for BOOM
it measures twenty-seyen inches through. If the
ice should disappear suddenly, through warm
rains and winds, a very destructive food may be
anticipated. In view of such contingency many
property owners along the river are making prep
arations to meet it,

ANOTHER STRIKE.-The miners of
the Morrisdale Coal Co. struck on Tuesday, the

of the miners for change in the weighing bosses.
This was refused by the superintendent, and they

their decision not to yield, and taking meas
urcs to eject those miners occupying their tene-
ments from the premises. As this is not strike

Turin, October 2S.-The damages caused
by the foundations of the Po, especially in
the provinces of Mantua' and Ferrara, are
immense. Several hundred kilometres of
the most fertile land in Italy are covered
with water, and whole towns and villages
are submerged. Many houses have been
undermined and fallen. In some places
the water reaches the roofs of the highest
buildings. Thousands of people are home
less and Others are flying from their dwell
ings, which are threatened with destruction.
The towns Of Casal, Maggirre and Astiglia,
on the river Pc, are in great danger, and
the inhabitants are panic-stricken. The
suffering is widespread and intense, but
relief is going forward from all parts of
Italy.
Naples, October 2S.--A fearful hurricane
swept through the province of Syracuse
yesterday. Several buildings were blown
down, and it is reported that thirty-two
persons are buried under the ruins. M
The officers of her Majesty'b ship Gan

warmly applauded He re-appeared to an
encore, and staggered forward upon the
orchestra. His fall being taken to be in

renewed, but Boynes continued struggling,

alarm. Doctors were summoned, but be-
fore their arrival all motion had ceased, and

A Little Boy hangs Himself.

On Saturday afternoon last, Mrs. VIM.
Hammonds, of this place, sent her little
son Willie, aged about twelve years, into
the cellar to sweep it out. At first she
heard him stirring about. Inabout twenty
minutes time the little fellow not coming
up and not hearing him, she became uneasy
and looking into the cellar, discovered him
hanging by a swing, (erected for his amuse-
ment, and fearing something was the mat
ter, hurried to him. He was sitting astride
of the swing seat, with the rope under his
right arm, over his shoulder and around
his neck. To her horror and amazement
she discovered that he was dead-having
been choked to death with the rope. She
Immediately called to Mrs. Samuel Ham,
monds, a neighbor, to come to he, assist
ance. The latter answered her call, and as
sisted the gref-stricken mother in taking
her little and only son from the swing
board. 1t is said that Willie was fond of
engaging in gymnastic exercises, and the
probability is that while attempting some
feat he became entangled in the rope, with
the result above stated.-Boonton (N. ~

Singular Balloon Accident.

A singular accident happened at Dekalb,
Illinois, last week. An eronant had a bal
loon ready to ascend when, before he had
entered the car, it broke loose and few up
wards. A hanging rope caught round the
leg of man named McMann, and carried
him up to the height of about a hundred
feet, when he managed to climb into the
basket. When the balloon had reached
distance of about four hundred feet from
the earth McMann deliberately jumped
out and was picked up dead.

The Horse Disease.

An able physician of Rochester, having
made post mortem examination of horse
who died from it, makes a report and rec
ommends the following treatment. The
cause of this diseased condition may be ex-
posure, colds, hard labor, &C., but most
probably it is produced by some atmos-
pheric poison. The treatment should be
the same as for person, but as the horse
is disagreeable animal to take medicine,
we cannot expect the same result from
medicine that we would in administering
TO person; the disease must vary in in
tensity, like all others; and in mild cases
the animal will need but very little medi-
cine keep them warm and quiet; give one
dram of the carbonate of potash in one
half pint of water, every six hours, and
apply to the throat externally equal parts
of the oil of cubebs and cinnamon OIL three
times day until it produces considerable
irritation. In the severer forms should
give the potash every two honrs until it
acted upon the kidneys freely, three times
day; also, take six ounces tincture of
bloodroot, six ounces Of glycerine one dram
Of each the tincture Of iodine and tincture
of aconite root and thirty drops Of carbolic
acid, mix them all together and give one
table spoonful three times a day in one
half pint Of water; apply small fly blister
to the throat externally, and hold the ami
mails head over some not water and steam
it by adding hot brick to the water, at the
same time cover the head with a blanket !;
also give ten grains of quinine and one-half
grain of morphine night and morning and
if the animal gets it SO it cannot swallow
would give one grain of sulphate of NOR
phine, with the hypodermic syringe night
and morning. Keep the animal warm, and
wait for nature to produce reaction, or
perform the operation called tracheotomy.

A Moman,s Confidence siame.

On Thursday of last week, lady called
at the National bank of Elkton, and asked
for draft on New York. Mr.. Brown, the
teller, told her the cashier, Mr. M'Farland,
was out, and that she could not be accom-
modated with draft till his return. She
thea said certified check would answer,
that she wanted to send it to Kentucky to
pay some taxes on property in that State.
The amount was S916, and Mr.. Brown told
her he could give her certified check, and
she paid him over the counter the amount
of the desired check, $9.1G, and signed the
check II. T. Smith as drawer.
She was quite communicative on finan-
cial matters, and inquired and talked about
investments, asking the Teller's advice in
the matter. She also asked if the bank re-
ceived money on deposit, allowing interest
for the same, and finally saying she had
some money she would deposit and check
out. She left the bank, however, without
making the deposit, and was soon forgot
ten by the bank officers.
On Wednesday last, the bank received
through their Philadelphia agency the GER
titled check raised to ninety 1900 dollars,
endorsed by E. ]. Williams, and cashed by
the Middletown (Del) Bank. The check
had been altered by adding ty to the mine,
and the word traced over to make all the
letters correspond. The amount in figures
at the bottom had been doctored to cores
pond to the body of the check by adding an

Successful Escape Of criminals.

Providence, Oct. 31.-In the State prison
at 2 o'clock this morning, Elisha E. Peck,
a convict got out of his cell, knocked down
the watchman with piece of gas pipe, and
bound and gagged him. He then liberated
Charles Williams, another convict, and un-
successfully tried to liberate Dennehey, the
the alleged murderer and Geo. Calamiti, a
burglar Failing in this Peck and Will
liams took the watchman's pistol, watch
and money, and at A O'clock the hour for
calling the baker, they rang his bell as is
usually done by the watchman, and when

Corn for Fuel.

A Chicago paper says that Iowa is burn
ing corn for fuel, and thinks that if dol
lars worth of that cereal will make more
heat than a dollars worth of wood or coal,
it should be burned by all means. 1t is
a pity that locomotives ON the railroad
could not burn it too. If one-half of the
entire crop were burned, the remainder
would, in all probability, sell for more
than the whole would bring now.
