FLOOD FEARED.
PIrrsBUls, Pa, Jan. 10.---Grave fears
are entertained of disastrous food if the
present warm weather continues. It has
been thawing nearly all day and At six
O'Clock this evening drizzling rain set
in, which gives promise of continuing
through the night. The snow is two feet
deep, ,and if it gees off suddenly with rain or
before the grosnd thaws, flood, such a7
has not been known in many years, will
probably be the result.
