RAGING RIVERS
Breakup in the Ohio and Upper
Streams.


The Tom Farrow which sunk in Kanawha River
yesterday as reported by our dispatches, was torn
all to pieces by the ice and is total loss. She
was owned by the Cole d Collins TowbOat and
Barge Company. she was valued at S3, 00j and
not insured. She was built at Pittburg about
fourteen years ago and was $50 feet long, "a feek
beam. She had two boilers 40 incnes III diameter
and 30 feet long, which supplied steam to II inch
cylinders. feet stroke.
The ice in the Big Sandy broke up vest rday and
was running last night at a late hour as far down
as IrontOn. 1t did considerable damage 10 steam
boats and barges.
Capt X. G. NJ. Lowell has a telegram from the
Kanawha River saying his balg ges escaped the ice
and the feet was safe.
The river rose to Is feet at Charleston Yesterday
and the Kanawha River was full of floating ice all
day, but strange to say, that river remained closed
at midnight last night from its mouth to Buffalo,
Il distance of q miles. The gorge must indeed 10
very strong there.
Seventy-two barges. great many of which wes
loaded, passed Charleston With the ice Yesterday
The breakup in the kanaWha River was very
disastrous one, but an idea OF the amount OF prop
erty lost can not be given yet The above bargeA
including their contents will probably average
about 81 900 TO the barge.
The j. c. Crossley a small steln-whee steamer,
was carried out of the Guyandotte River in the ico
yesterday and is q total loss.
This mornings dispatches give an unlookedifR
account of the situation above and make the pros
poets of a breakup here very doubtful.
The ice from the foot of Mill street to the New
port Bridge was broken this morning by Captain
Andy Marsiiiiott with the towboat JOSEPH A.
Stone. and the towboats Kate Waters and J. W.
Gould are engaged eaking the ice at and beloW

The Champion No had steam UP this morn

" Roaming Robert"

The editor of the Burlington Hack
eye has been travelling in the lecture
field during the past month, and writing
sketches OF travel by the way. One Of
his latest " yarns excels almost the
greatest he ever told. How much of it he
expected to be worthy OF credence, the
reader must judge. He says:
~ went to hotel in Peru. and took
q room with fire, q lame window cur
tain, an invalid water pitcher and some
other portable articles of furniture in
it, and left my baggage carelessly piled
up in great stacks around the room.
Judge of my dismay, when after leaving
the room for few moments, I returned
to discover that o desperate attempt had
been made by party of men, who had q,
evidently been following me for sew
eral days. to steal my diamond neck
lace. You remember the necklace
very well, of course; it is the same one
I lectured in last season, and was a
present from Khalil Bey, to whom it
had descended among the family jewels.
It was originally obtained by his grand
father, who was Buddhist priest, and
stole the necklace from the image of
Bhundal. up Ghud, in the hill district,
Jabbal-al-Jal. The stones were unusu-
ally large and brilliant, and some of
them weighed four ounces when killed
and dressed. It was valued at $34, 900.
The robbers, four in number, who had
probably seen me wear it, and had fol-
lowed me for several days, were masked,
and effected an entrance into my room
by climbing a telegraph pole about two
miles down the Wabash track. Thence
they cooned along the wire until
they got into town, when they got onto
the roof of the station and descended to
the ground, went around behind the
hotel, found a ladder probably left
there by some accompliees, got onto
the roof Of the hotel, entered the chin
ney and worked their way down into
the cellar. It was, then easy work to
come up the, cellar. stairs, go into the
wash room and wash their hands and
remove their masks, and then they came
out into the office and asked the clerk
the number of my room. Then, the
deed was all but accomplished, when,
by piece of wonderful good fortune,
returned to my room, having been
out in the back yard stealing enough
wood to make the fra last fifteen min
utes, just in time TO prevent the spoila-
ton of my jewel case. The robbers es-
capped, leaving the hotel and the city in
the same manner as they entered it. I
think, indeed, I have been rather indis-
Greet, seeing that travel alone, in
wearing so much valuable jewelry. I
enclose necklace herewith. Hang it up
on nail in the Hapkeys Office until I
return home, and don't Let Newt wear it
every time he goes to party.

A Rancher's Life in Colorado.
A correspondent of the Troy Times

/, A correspondent of the Troy Times
writes:
+" We at the East can hardly realize
the isolation oftentimes attending ranch
life. A few days since we renewed the
acquaintance of young gentleman
whom we met in Denver last year.
He is of q distinguished family of
Northern New York, and a graduate of
one of our Eastern colleges. He came
to this State about year ago for the
benefit of his health, which was con-
siderably impaired. His physician ad.
vised him to go on q sheep ranch,
where he would have constant outdoor
employment. He soon engaged him
self to two Scotch shepherds to assist
them in the care of sheep, and for five
months the three men managed the
affairs of the ranch, both indoors and
out, each taking his turn in the art of
cooking, and each doing his own wash
ing. The ranch is situated seventy five
miles from Colorado Springs, which is
their base of supplies. .d
"The unvarying duties OF "a shepherd
are about as follows: at sunrise to take
his flock, usually from 400 to 600, ac-
companied by his trusty horse and
faithful dogs, to green pastures and be-
side still waters, if be can find them,
and there remain all the day long with
a watchful eye over his charge, to see
that none fall into the ditch or goastray.
When the sun goes down behind the
Rocky Mountains it is time to start for
home. The signal is given by the shep-
herd, the dog is on the alert, and the
bell wether' leads the way to the field
or corral for the night, and when safely
protected from foes without, such as
prairie wolves, the days work is done,
only to be repeated day in and day out,
month after month. The dog is val
liable auxiliary in the care of sheep.
The Scotch collie surpasses all others
in his natural aptitude for his work, and
oftentimes one well trained sells for
$3.50.
