Wendell Phillips, who lectured in our Opera

stamps him as a generous man, and which de-

the size of his audience and the amount of
money for which he had engaged to lecture
here, that his coming was proftless enterprise
to those who had brought him, he declined to
accept the full amount which they had obligated
to pay when it was rendered him, and returned
One-lalf the sum. 1t was insisted thai he should
accept the full amount, but be persisted in his
refusal, aud settlement was only made by the
payment to him of what was left of the proceeds
of the evening after all the expenses had been
deducted. He however, sustained no great loss.

NO CHANGE IN THE sTTUATToN-THE EFFECT OF
YEsTETDAYs 3 sUNsHIEE-ExPERIMENTs AT BLAST
ING WITH NTH NITRO aLYcERINE.
[From the Baltimore American of To-Dayl
The drenohing rain of Sunday was succeeded
by clear, bright weather, yesterday. The air is
mild and under the solvent influence of
the warm sunlight, the snow is be-
ing rapidly converted into water. ALI the
creeks and tributaries Of the river are brimming
over with drainage Of the hillsides, and in very
many places streams Of water course down the
steep, rocky bluffs, and add their violence to the
river. No decided rise has taken place in the
river as yet, however, as the large body of water
up the river has not yet run down this far. In
the upper part of the town near Rock Run, there
was rise Of five or six inches during the day,
but nothing to excite any apprehension. The
river is evidently very low the gorge is sunk
en- down and contracted great deal from its
former dimensions.
Mr.. John Kaveney, who it will be reeollected
proposed to break away the gorge by means of
blasting it with nitro-glycerine, made an experi-
ment upon the gorge at Fyles Eddy, rour miles
below MoCRlfs Ferry. With one pint of the ex-
plosiye compound, he broke away five hundred
feet of the gorge, the fierce destructive energy
of the blvst scattering the ice away in every di-
rection and making an open current where be-
fore the ice gorge was packed solidly across. He
was very much pleased with the result Of the ex-
pertinent, and is confident that he could break
away the gorge at this place, by similar measures.
It ia thought however, that such plan is not
feasible now, as there is not sufficient water in
the river to carry away the ice, no matter how
completely the gorge should be broken up.
