grinding and rnmbling noise, sunk into the

moment TO rise TO the surface edgewise, and
several such masses seemingly fastened to.

stream, at the rate Of twenty miles an hour,
Affords scene worth witnessing. The great
mass passed OF before the water had risen
over the banks Of the river; but at this writ.
ing, p. m. ON Thursday, the river il still
rising, and is overlooking its banks. and the
ice lodged on the bottoms by the former
breakup IN all probability will be moved, in
that event serious damage will result.
The Cog during Wednesday, and Thursday
till noon, was so dense that the running trains
could not be seen at distance of one hun.
bred yards.
Great as the drought in the earth is, not a
drop Of this vast amount Of water, caused By
the melting snow, could penetrate, not even
through the coat of ice with which the earth
was covered before the snow fall. The snow

mains, and in some parts of the public roads
