Well, the reply came from Wor-

PoRT DEPOSIT, MARCH 80.
After nearly two weeks suspense, occasioned
ly the ice gorge that extended from below Ha-
yre de Grace to some distance above this place,
the citizens were relieved OH Sunday night by
the breaking of the jam. The ce-tield was firm
up to Sunday afternoon, but it was known that
tile warm air and sun of the preceding days had
greatly weakened it. On Sunday the gorge as
sumed black color which was caused by the
effect of the sun, which melted the top ice very
rapidly, and left muddy sediment remaining
on the Ice below.
THE SOUTH END OF THE GORGE,
at Hayre de Grace began to break up on Sunday
and before mis- htfall all the exposed ice was
honeycombed and in disntegrating condition.
About 10 o'clock on the same night the eastern,
or falae channel, near the Cecil county shore,
began to break near Havre de Grace, and the de-
tached ice WAS carried off by the current.
The opening of the gorge at Havre de Grace OF
course weakene ed the ice field here and before
midnight some of the anxious citizens discov-
cred that channel from Rock run, a little east
of the centre of the river, was open.
rHR NEWS SPREAD RAPIDLY,
and hundreds of people focked to the shore to
witness what was expected to be wonderful
sight. IL IL perhaps Heeulebs W hhf, no"oNoi,
that they were all disappointed, az the breaking
up of the gorge proved a very tame and uninter-
erting spectacle. There no mighty rumbling,
nor flood, nor was there any particular excitement
and the crowd of curious people that assembled
to witness it only saw narrow channel OF run
ming water filed with huge cakes of dirty look
ing ice.
FLOOD MARKS.
The painful signs of the recent flood ars still
plainly visible here. Many yards in the lower
part of the town are filed with water the
streets are covered with logs, cord-wood and
other debris, and many of the houses still have
damp look. The people, however, are busily
vaton is being pushed forward with commenda
BILE rapidity. Tho damage done to personal pro,
perty by the recent gorge and subsequent Hood
is varously estimated at from $500, 900 to S100,'
900, but nothing definite can be stated for sev
eral weeks to come.

took many of the advertised blood preparations,

without obtaining any benefit until / commenced
taking the VEGErINE, and before / had completed
the first bottle saw that had got the right medi
cine. Consequently, followed on with 1t until
had taken seven bottles, when was pronounced d

from pimpes and eruptlons. have never enjoyed
