For The
Sc COUSIN JIM.o

The mirror held up to certain of your
readers by cousin JIM" does not appear
to have reflected a picture that pleased
them in the least.
1t is currently reported that one officer
of the county has covered himself with
to discover whether "Jm'' has actually
left for the blue grass regions, with the
intention, it is said, if he can discover that
lie is a recreant school teacher to forth with
decapitatc his, her, or its official head
which we submit would be a public loss
and might sensibly lower the general aver
age of the said school teachers.
1t is evident to us that Jim had some
help from his cousin, as some things in his
paper are entirely too wicked for man to
say: and we very much fear that if Sues
landlady did say something about her
neighbors over the way she was encouraged
thereto by her visitors, and we would sug-
gest that the neighbors should reform, or
that Cousin Sue should not listen. either of
which plans would prevent any mischief
from being done.
Candidly, if the said letter should cause
the subject to be discussed as to whether
the Institute as now arranged is not a
nuisance, it will have done good service to
the towns where it meets. 1t cannot be
pleasant thing to have such an army quart
cred on them for three or four days, and
while it might be borne once will get
wearisome if repeated. ARoLoC.

The County Commissioners paid our

everybody had an opportunity of becoming

suggest to them that the time had gone by

BREAKING UrIN THE SUsoUEHANNA.-
Thursdays Ledger gives the following &C
count of the ice gorges and freshets in the
Susqnehanna:
1.-The flood in the Susquehanna river was
attended on Tuesday night and yesterday
with disastrous results The ice gOrged
above Wilkesbarre between 8 and 10 o'clock
on Tuesday night, and the back water
flooded Pittston. 1t rose two feet higher
than in 1865, and reached West Pittston.
At halfpast one yesterday morning the ice
broke up with a terrible crash, and moved
past Wilkesbarre. Another gorge was
formed at the island, "a mile below, and in
ten minutes the river rose five feet, and
continued rising until it reached twenty
five feet above low water mark, and the ice
touched the Kingston bridge. The ice
cakes were four feet thick, and all COM
river was stopped. Later in the morning,
the river fell about foot, and remained
stationary during the day, the weather
growing colder towards night, and freezing
the entire mass. The cellars of the houses
on River street and the gas works were
flooded, and there was no gas in the
city last night. Communication between
Wilkesbarru and Kingston remained sus
pended, owing to the submergence of the
flats on either side of the river. and the
perilous condition of the bridge. The
damage at Kingston was much greater than
at Wilkesbarre, the iron bridge of the
Lackawanna and Bloomsbury railroad. and
the wooden wagon bridges having been
swept away. The railroad bridge cost
100000, and the county bridges nearly
$50. 600 each. These bridges are jammed
in a gorge three miles above Wilkesbarre.
The Lehigh Valley railroad, both above
and below Pittston is covered in places
with huge blocks of ice. and no trains run
above Wilkesbarrc. At Nanticoke dam,
eight miles below Wilkesbarre, the ice
moved yesterday, but it remained solid
above the dam. A gorge also formed be-
tween Danville and Sudbury, causing
great flood, and cutting off railroad com
munications. The highway bridge at Cat
awissa was carried away, and part of the
bridge at Danville. A despatch from Scran-
ton last night, says many of the stores and
the banks at Pittston were closed yester-
day, owing to the stoppage of communica-
ton with the opposite side of the river.
On each side of the river, for miles, is a
solid wall of ice, and the river bed from
Campbells Ledge to Wilkesbarre, a dis
lance of - miles, is g a field of ice, stud
ded with immense boulders." West Pitts
ton was caught between two floods, one of
which broke through ravine at the base
of the mountains at one o'clock yesterday
morning. The losses by the flood and by
the obstruction of railroad travel are esti-
mated at $1,O00,O 900.

A New Device to Raise the Wind.-The

spelling matches. which have become so
fashionable, have been utilized by some en-,

ling matches '' for the benefit of the

The spelling book is fast taking the place
Of the little "pass book with its smiling
canvasser in search of funds for buggy,

now is to stand up and spell down a II oppo-

the old plan, and we advise our churches,
which have tabooed the fair and the lottery
to try the spelling class.

He had stood loaded ducking gun up in a

threw the gun on the floor. The trigger
striking, the gun went off, the whole load

Thursday evening, one small case had been
disposed of. 1t is not remark able that the
Court should evince vexation and complain
of the hardness of the Bar, which by its
procrastination largely swells the expenses
Of the county. On the other hand the
members of the Bar or some of them
lay the blame on the Court for not Compel

The Ice Flood Mt Port Dep0sit.-At


o'clock on Thursday evening the flood,
which has been sweeping down the Susque-
hanna, reached Port Deposit, and by 10
o clock at night the ice commenced run
ming. The river rose four feet in ten min
utes. a scramble for high ground ensued
when the water began to rise, and the great
est excitement and CONSERVATION prevailed.
The train in the evening could not APP
proach within mile of the town. 4
despatch from Port on Friday morning said
the water was three feet deep on the floor
of Frazer's drug store. The water was
higher than in any previous ice floods, and
the wharves were generally swept of lum-
Der. Some of the ice was four feet thick
and running rapidly on Friday morning
the river being clear about Port, but the
gorge had lodged on the flats and against
the railroad bridge. The trestle work of
the Port Deposit Branch has been swept
away.
At 1 o'clock on Friday morning the water
had covered all the wharves at Havre de
Grace. near the bridge, and was running
three feet deep in the streets of that town.
At Port the railroad depot and telegraph
office were flooded and the latter had to be
abandoned soon after midnight.
