ALARMING STATE OF AFFAIRS AT PORT DE-
PosIT.
The effort to clear the Susquehanna river at
Port Deposit, by Capt. Myers with his steel
pillow plan proved a most decided failure. He
failed to force a passage through the ice as he
proposed to do. The project Of nitro glycerne
has not yet been decided upon, and probably
will not be, as the town commissioners are re
ported TO be averse to the proposal.
A special to the Baltimore San from Port De
post, dated half-past twelve O'Clock last night,
says: Gan
ALARM WAS GIVEN AT MIDNIGHT,
caused by a sudden rise in the river. The rise
began little after p. m, and continued up to
about IL O'Clock, when the water came i'm sud
denly and rose over two feet At Rock run the
street was rendered impossible, the water being
over the pavement. In the upper part of the
town Of Fort Deposit, near the NJ. L. Church,
tn water has already gotten into several of the
houses Mr.. David DOaty, a well-known resi-
dent, was driven out with his FIRMLY at IL D. m
Of two feet. Several other houses in the same
locality are flooded, and the occupants are
IN THE GREATEST DREAD.
The alarm spread rapidly, and at this hour
every house on the lower side of the street is
lighted up, the male members of the families
moving about in the streets, watching the rising
toe and preparing for an exit. Capt. TAYLOR.
conductor on the Baltimore Central railroad
has just arrived in the center Of the town from
Rock run, one mile above, in search of a boat
to take ont his family. the water having gotten
into his house. The rise is attributed to the
sinking Of the gorge in the river by the thaw OF
to-day, and the backing up of the water. The
suspense of the people through the long hours
OF the night becomes almost agonizing, and no
idea can be formed at present OF what Is to come.
IL Is generally feared, however, that the rise is
p0rtentous of immediate disaster"

The Sinking Of the NOrthneet.

SAD DETAILS OF THE TERRIBLE DISASTER.
The London Times of January % publishes the
details of the terrible disaster to the ship North
heet. 1t appears that the first intimation given
OF the impending calamity was a cry from the
watch: "a steamer is right into us" and before
the captain and pilot could rush on deck she was
struck anidshsrs and cut down below the water
line. The pumps were started and the crew
worked hard. but as the water gained a panic
seized the crew and passengers, and the latter
became entirely beyond the control of the
officers. The male passengers
RUSHED TO TIE BOATS,
and one was launched and soon filed, the can
tain endeavoring to force the men out i'm order
TO save the women, but without avail, although
he fired a blank cartridge. In the effort to get
into the boat many were drowned, as the ONLY
means OF reaching it was by jumping from the
buiwarks. The same difficulty attended the
second boat, the only other one launched. Sixty
four persons were saved by these two boats. The
pilot and ten men were picked up.
ASTER THE VESSEL WENT DOWN,
which she did half an hour after being struck
Every effort was made BY the officers to attract
the attention of passing vessels, but without
avail, they believing, ii is thought, the vessel
was signaling for pilot. The officers OF the
NOrthheet called to the steamer to stand by, but
were not needed heard. Only the captains
wife and another and two children of the wo-
men on board were saved. The rest went down
with the vessel. together with Captain Knowles

gers that he might save them.

INTERESTING PROCEEDINGS IN PARLIA
MENr YEsTERDAY-The Treaty of Washington
Discassed.-In the British House of Commons,
on Thursday, notice was given of the introduce
ton OF a number of bills: one providing for the
purchase Of the English railways by the gov
eminent, and another legalizng marriage with
deceased wifes sister. Yesterday speeches
were made strongly criticizing the treaty of
Washington, condemning both it and its results,
and charging the government with surrender
ing English honor, and sacrificing the interests
Of Canada. Members on the ministerial side
protested against the needless discussion of the
treaty. 1t made great change i'm information
al law, and One highly advantageous to Eng
land. 1t was very great mistake to suppose
that the Canadian interests had been compro-
missed when the Canadians themselves thought
otherwise. The subject of the loss of the emf
grant ship NOrthf1eet was introduced i'm the
Lords, and the opinion was expressed that q
criminal prosecution would not hold against the
MurillO's officers, unless il could be shown that
manslaughter had been committed

ExPLoDISG AN ICE-GoIGR.-Successfu re
suits have attended the use of duaIino as an
explosive agent at the ice-gorge that has formed
at White river junction, Vt, situated at the
junction of White river with the Connecticut
river. When the freshet OF January IL occurred
It carried the ice out Of the White river into the
connecticut, forming dam about a mile below
the junction, threatening, should it remain
there and be reinforced by more ice with the
spring freshets, the safety Of five long and costly
bridges near by. In this emergency it was de-
termined to use .'dualin" in che effort to re
move the dam and clear the rivers. Since Mon
day last men have been engaged i'm the work OF
exploding the collected ice, and no doubt is now
entertained that in afew days the channels OF
the rivers will be open. and the broken ice will
60 drifting down to the sea. The Immense
power of" dualin" is developed when the sub
stance is confined; otherwise it is compar atiyelv
harmless, 1t somewhat resembles sawdust. and
the cartridges are shaped like Roman caddles
In the present instance they are fired either BY
battery and wire or by a fuse and cans and
ut each discharge large masses of ice float down
stream. perceptible fall in the water at the
dam ct White river village is already noted.

brides mother, deceased, expressed her ap-
proyal by a special message to the groom.
Then the ghosts grew iovial and cracked, few

doubtless ignorant, as they were fresh when

clude that IT takes groom Of considerable
