THE DELAWARE Ice GoRGE.---The Port
Jervis correspondent of the World writes UNI
der date of Monday as follows : The water
in the Delaware has fallen five feet, but the
ice in the gorge has not settled, and it is
thought that nothing short of a heavy fresh
ct can remove the immense dam. Parties who
have lived along the river all their lives and
have noted the action of lodged ice during
rising water, say that if the river rises over a
foot from rain or thaw without jam giving
way, the banks of the river about mile
above here must of necessity yield, and moth
ing can stop the rush of the released water
and ice through the place. All day Monday
families removed from houses below the rail-
road track, and through the binding snow
storm of to-day the exodus to safer localities
was continued. The cold weather of Satur-
day night and Sunday has frozen the water in
the interstices of the ice, knitting the whole
mass more firmly together. There is no
change in the situation up the river, except
just above Callicoon. There all the ice for
sixteen miles is gorged in a space of a mile
and a half long, entirely covering CalIicoon
Island and damming up the channel. For a
time the water was thrown threatingly back
over the country above, but channel was
broken through a field on the New York side
at Callicoon, and the whole body of water is
running around that way. The water is very
low in the river Five or six inches of snow
have fallen since morning.
A special meeting of the Common Council
is called for tonight, to endeavor to devise
some plan to lessen the threatened danger
The Erie Railway Company will tomorrow
put a corps of civil engineers on the jam, to
examine aud report on the possibility of re-
ducing it by blasting with nitro-glycerine.

PROHIBITION IN VINELAND.--The liquor
advocates continually cry out that prohibition
is failure, and there is no use passing pro-
hibitory laws. fit is failure why should
they fight so viciously? The fact is, it is a
success wherever tried. In Maine, where the
lew has been in force for some twenty years,
not one-fourth as much liquor is sold as be-
fore it was the law to prohibit
Vineland, N. j., is perhaps the most
thorough example in, the United States, OF
the power and effect of not allowing liquors
sold or used in city. The following from
the last annual report of Mr. t. t. Curtis,
constable and overseer of the poor for Vine-
land shows 50 ial from being failure, pro-
hibitiou is Just what will save the nation.
Mr. Curtis says:
Though we have population of 10000
people, for the period of six months no settler
or citizen of Vineland has received relief at
my hands AS overseer of the poor Within
seventy .i4ys bnere has been only one case,
among what we call the floating population,
at an expense of $500
During the entire year there has been only
one indictment, and that trifiing case OF as
sault and battery among our colored popula-
tion.
So few are the fires in Vineland, that we
have no need of a fire department. There
has been only one house burned in year,
and two slight fires, which were soon put out.
We practically have no debt, and our taxes
are only one per cent. on the valuation.
The police expenses of Vineland amount to
$75 per year, the sum paid to mo, and our
poor expenses mere trif1e.
I ascribe this remarkable state of things, SO
nearly approaching the Golden Age, to the
industry of our people and the absence of
King Alcohol
Let mo give you in contrast to this, the
state of things in the town from which came
in England. The population of tile town was
$500, little less than Vineland. 1t maintained
forty liquor shops. These kept busy police
judge, city marshal, assistant marshal, four
night watchmen, and six policemen. Fires
were almost continual. The small place
maintained a paid fire-department OF four
companies, Of forty men each an expense OF
$4,000 per annum. belonged to this depart
I,,ent for six years, anu the fires averaged
about one every two weeks, and mostly incen-
diary. The support of the poor cost $4,000
per annum. The debt of the township was
$129,0O0 The condition of things in this
England town is as favorable in that country
as many other places where liquor is sold.
