In addition TO the information contained
in the letters of our special correspondents
of the ice gorge at Port Deposit we give
below the most interesting items from the
Baltimore papers, which have kept "speci.
ais" on the ground to communicate all
the incidents Of the impending destruction
to the town.
The river on Sunday rose within an houl
to height of ten feet above the ordinary
level, and within about two feet of the
greatest height attained in 1857. The wa.
ter in the street quickly arose to depth OF
from five to seven feet, and over fifty dwell
ings were inundated, the inmates being
driven to the upper stories. The male
population turned out en- m0sse Row
boats were procured, and very soon stout
arms were willingly laboring to succor and
relieve those in distress. House after
house was visited, and the occupants tax
en- from the second-story windows, until
over 200 persons were assisted to high
land only to find themselves for the time
homeless, and to look down upon the rag.

worse might come.
AS the flood continued houses were
struck and bnffeted about, some turned
around, others knocked askew. and one o,
two upset entirely. Small outhouses float.
ed in the tide. Boats were seen among
the ice and lumber, the rowers battling t.
do good, and on the hills were women and
children climbing the bluffs to seek shell
ter wherever they might among their more
fortunate neighbors. The scene was one
of desolation and saddening to the sight
Many families proceeded to Perryvile
Others to Havre de Grace, on the cars ant
some came to Baltimore to their friends t.
await the result of the flood. The narrow
escapes reported were numerous, but for
tunately no lives were lost in the town a
least.
Late in the day telegraphc informato,
as to the condition Of affairs higher up the
river was sought for. and it was learned
that the ice had broken up at Columbia
which is forty-iive miles above, and hat
come down with heavy overflow to wha
is called " MeCali's Ferry - narrow

gloss and freshness of youth. Thin
hair is thickened, falling hair checked,
and badness often, though not always,
cured by its use. Nothing can restore
the hair where the f~ollicles are de-
stroyed, or the glands atrophied and
decayed; but such as remain can be
saved by this application, and stimu-
lated into activity, so that a new
growth of hair is produced. Instead
of fouling the hair with q pasty sedi-
ment, it will keep it clean and vigorous.
Its occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning gray or falling of, and
consequently prevent badness. The
restoration of vitality it gives to the
scalp arrests and prevents the forma-
ton of dandrnff, which is often so I'M
clearly and offensive. Free from those
deleterious substances which make
some preparations dangerous and inju-
rious to the hair, the Vigor can only
benefit but not harm it. If wanted
merely for q HAIR DRESSING,
nothing else can be found so desirable.
Containing neither oil nor dye, it does
not soil white cambria, and yet lasts
long on the hair, giving it a rich, glossy
@iustre, and a grateful. perfume.
