WIIKEsBARiE, PA, March l0.-Ihe
river has been falling slowly this after
noon, and is now nearly TWO ieeI lower
than on Wednesday morning. There
is no change in the ice in the main
channel, and il is generally believed
it reaches the bottom of the river for
some distance above the island, going
below the city, and from that point to
Plainvile, distance OF i've miles, ice
is damned up in asolid mass. Several
persons walked across the stream on II
al this place. The depot of the Lehigh
VAaev railroad and about twenty
Dwelling houses We're flooded just be-
low here. The Pittston bridges are
TANNED UP in the ice in the main
channel for some distance above this
station and several miles below.
The track of the railroad is covered
with water and large cakes OF ice. a
force of men has already been set to
work removing the ice. At Forty
Fort. n little below and on the opposite
side from plainvillc, the ice Is piled up
very hiph. aud has iprped the water
cut way through the beautiful Forty
Fort cemetery, and swept down the
flooding flats and rushed through the
main streets of Kingston, filling cellars
and doing other damage. Boats were
rowed through some of the principal
streets. From Wilkesbarre the dis
lance is one mile, and the water spread
across the flats between the two places
in all incredible short space of time.
A barn was swept away which had
stood the flood of many years, and no
fences whatever are left. Huge bould-
ers of ice were carried alo with such
force rs to knock down and tear up
great trees.
All the telegraph poles On the flats
are down and telegraph communica-
ton can only be had by way of Scran-
ton. From the opposite END OF the
bridge ut this place only vast sea of
ice can pc seen until the eye reaches
Kingston. The bridge, which has stood
the floods of IS years, is i'll Il dangerous
situation. A lhaw vii! set the ice in
motion and if il does not carry Off the
structure, the Pittston bridge will
sweep down and destroy ii.
PoHr DrpogIr, Nh. March l0.-The
fooJ hern IN fearful. The water is from
five to fifteen feet dccp in the streets.
