BROKE Up.-The Ranawha let
loose at this place about A o'clock
on Saturday morning last, and
made the steamboatmen hustle
around to save their crafts, as
many were caught without steam.
The gorge was one Of the heaviest
ever witnessed in the Kanawha,
and the break up was unexpected.
Quite a number of barges loaded
with coal we're torn from their
moOrings and crowded out into the
Ohio, but were saved without any
great loss. The damage done to
the boats lying in the Kauawha
was not very great, only two barges
Of cOal being sunk, and about u
half dozen crowded out on the
beach. 1t looked at one time, in
the early part Of the run Of ice, as
if everything at the mouth Of the
river would be destroyed or swept
out, but good management saved
about everything, and the Great
Kauawha still maintains its repu.
tatiou for being the best harbor on
the Ohio. The river is now open
between this place and Charleston,
and navigation has been resumed.

LOCAL MATTERS.

SENSATIONAL DIyoRcE SUR The
correspondent Of the Cincinnati
Enquirer from this place, furnishes
the following sensational telegram:
"The case Of Tlaybould VS.. Ray.
bould, in which the plaintiabrings
suit againsther husband, the de.
fendant, VIM. Raybould, for di
yorce is now pending before our
Circuit Court and presents some
sensational features, among which
may be mentioned Eve packages Of
letters intercepted by his wife and
written him by two ladies, admir-.
ers Of his. lie has SO far interpos.
ed no defense. Today Mrs. Ray.
bould completed her testimony be.
fore the Notary, and filed the let.
ters asexhibitswith her deposition.
The fair names Of the wife Of a
prominent man in Charleston and
that Of a married lady residing in
Pittsburgh are involved. Raybould
was a prominent member Of the In
dependent Order Of Foresiers, and
travelled extensively during the
palmy days of that institution,
lectnring upon Forestry and estab.
, fishing subordinate lodges 10 this
and other States, and it wasduring
one 9TH numerous absences from
hume that his wife intercepted
these letters, and when coafop
by her with these proofs Of his
di.loyalty to the nuptial couch do
clared it case of black.mail, but
this assertion was with his wife
like "BanqnO's ghost" it wouldn't
down.
Raybould, during his residence
in this State, was also a prominent
minister of the Methodist Church,
carried on revivals and held family
prayer every night. After this
exposure he went from here to
New straitsviIle, Perry County,
Ohio, where, it is alleged, he court
ed a young lady of refinement aud
,especlabiIity, but he vas exposed
there by a gentleman who knew
his untecedents. He then inslitu.
ted suit fordivorce in the Court of
Common Pleas of that county, but
his wife defended it 50 vigorously
that the Judge dismissed his petit
ion. These parties were married
at NethOrton, England, in 1861, and
came to this country sixteen years
ago.
Mrs. Raybould is a quiet, dignif.
ed lady, rather comedy in appear.
ance, yet her face shows marks OF
much mental suffering. The let.
tiers to and filed with the plaintiffs
deposition are written on pink pa
per, and show some culture on the
part Of the writers, who are women
who have moved in good society.
They are full Of endearing terms,
such as dear" "dearer" and "dear-
est Willie" "my hearts fondest de.
light" "the apple Of my eye" and
"the pride Of NV heart" &c.
