five inches thick, and ranging in size from
three to twenty feet square, along the bank
of the creek. The hotel porch OF the "Ex-
change" was demolished; 'Miller's Hotel"
was damaged two barns belonging to Messrs.
Campbell and Hess were lifted up and carried
away up stream.
A BRIDGE RAISED BODILY.
AT the upper end of the town was cover
ed bridge across the Conestoga. about 300
feet in length. The torrent of rushing water
and ice reached the bridge, struck it, swayed
the structure for II moment, then lifted it up
bodily and bore it away on the ice rs though
it were a mere paper box. The rush carried
it onward to point fully mile above, where
it was parted in two an end being left on
either side ofthe str am. AS the water re.
ceded the ice lodged on the shores of the
creek in vast piles from ten To forty feet
about the houses, completely blocking up
many dwellings.
N the time OF the reporters visit the wa
ter hal retrlrd and those houses not too
badly damaged We're tenanted again, but no
business of any kind was being done A
gorge was reported miles above, and the
fear of this breaking and coming down upon
them paralyZcd the villagers The loss at
Safe HarbOr can not yet be estimated.
LOckport, on this side of the river was also
swamped, and the inhabitants driven out.
Near the mouth Of the Conesoga was a
singular formation, in the shape of an oblong
ice island, about four acres in extent. with
perpendicular sides about 20 feet above the
water. This iceberg was in the centre of the
channel, where the water is said to be sixty
feet; so that, supposng it to have been gor-
ged from the bottom there must have been o
total depth of eighty five feet of ice.
At the little town of Washington, three
miles from Turkey Hill, still another gorge
exists; and ut Columbia q great gorge was
seen. The gorges below, at Washington,
Turkey Hill and Safe Harbor, had backed up
the water below Columbia until the dam was
covered but the running ice from above on
Wednesday last formed q new gorge, and on
Saturday last the entire river was filled in
this neighborhood with solid gorge of ice,
and the water rose higher than for several
years. Wrightsvile, on the other side the
river has also suffered severely. The rail.
way bridge connecting the two cities was
still safe on Saturday, but the ice was gorged
beneath it within six feet of the floor of the
structure.
AT MARIETTA
At marietta, the great lumber market three
miles above Columbia, much alarm has been
occasioned by the gorge, which has backed
up the water and overlooked several yards
| along the river The body of ice mixed
among the lumber will, it is feared carry of
great quantities of the timber should the
gorge break up suddenly. No possible pre-
cautions, however, can secure anything like
safety from the irresistible torrent when ii
starts, so that the people can only quietly
await developments and wish for the best.

FRIEND BAKER:-I congratulate you upon the
great improvement you have made in the local
news department of the 1Ggis. You seem now
to appreciate the fact more than ever, that the
value of county paper to its subscribers is prin-
cipally in its local columns. For months past,
have noticed and spoken of this improvement,
as it evidenced enterprise and true county jour
nalsm. Last week, for instance you published
a splendid article of nearly two columns and a
half, on the great flood of the Susquehanna--an
article which will be read with the greatest inter-
est throughout the entire county, and on sub.
ject of immense local Importance. You also
gave, in the same issue, two other columns of To-
cal items, all of them worthy of perusal. | hope
you will perseyere in your good work-the Har-
fordonians are intelligent and will certainly en-
courage you.
THE SMALL Pox
has been on the rampage among us for month,
and our doctors have been making money at one
dollar Il "gouge" For some time past, we have
had from so to 80 deaths per week from this pest,
but it is now slightly on the decrease. Our bust
ness men generally have been seriously affected
by 1t, our merchants in particular. Preachers,
undertakers and livcry-men have all made "a
good thing" out of it. Our School Board have
employed 10 doctors to vaccinatc the school
children, and appropriated 1000 to pay them,
have passed law to employ 50 doctors, -four for
each ward-one for each precncD TO serve six
months at S300-virus furnished. These physi-
clans will 60 from house to house and vaccinate
everybody needing the same. The mayor has not
yet signed the ordinance, but every body expects
him to do SO.
l suggest that you county people make your
doctors use pirus on The quill, as the "scab
vaccination is not half as effective know a
dozen persons who have been vaccinated with
scab matter, and not single case has taken,
while eye,y case know of amounting to aeve-
raj, where quill yirus has been used, has been
successful. DIR. Jones, Estate vaccine agent
and School Board, and Health Board, all use III
rus on the quill. Twas first vaccinated by hav-
ing hole gouged in my arm, and a piece OF scab
stuck in it; but itdidn't take; the doctor took
my dollar, however. The second time l was
vaccinated with quill virus, and that took splen.
didly. So pay attention to experience and rea.
son, and not entirely to what the doctors say.
Does it not stand to reason that virus direct from
the cow Gas most of quill virus is) would be more
effective than piece of dried.up scab, which, il
purchased, moybc two removes from the COW.

Doth horse and steam) have rapidly increased
within year or two past. Among the new ones,
are the 'Citizens Line" from Druid Hill (wind-
Ing through the city, to Patterson Parks; the
City Hall and Hall Springs, running through a
portion of old town. and on the Bel Air road !;
the Peabody Heights, starting on German street,
near South, twisting through many principal
tlorougbfarcs, and stopping at Waverly, in the
row gauge, and Baltimore and Potomac Road
As a consequence more people ride now than
before, and remove to remote sections of the
city and demand that more houses be built in
those sections; and many of the down town
dwelling houses are converted into stores, or
pulled down, and imposing business structures
erected upon the sites. We are having

VAccINATIoN.-In view of the fact that
the small pox exists to great degree in the
city of Baltimore, and may be communicated
to any part of our county, by the constant
intercourse with that city, it is to be hoped
that vaccination will be resorted to by every
one who has the slightest doubt of the efficacy
of former vaccinations. as well rs those who
have never been vaccinatel. 1t is a note
near Baltimore, neither the resident physi-
clan, his family, nor any Of the nurses EN-
ployed have ever taken the disease, although
subjected to daily contact with the most vru-
lent cases. Their immunity is alone atributa-
BILE to repeated vaccination.
