rho ice in the snsquehanna.


 PoRr DEPosIT, Md. Jan. 5.-An immense gorge formed in the Susquehanna river last night at Star Rock, Pa., attaining height of fifteen to twenty feet. The ice piled upon the track of the Columbia and Port Deposit railroad eight to ten feet high for one hundred feet and two to three feet high for three hundred yards, en- tirely blockading the track. An extra train going south early to-day came in contact with the barrier of the ice. The train returned to Columbus and procured assist ance. In few hours a passage was cut through the ice. About noon trains were sent through. Gorges are formed at McCall's Ferry and at several points north attaining ten to fifteen feet in height. Reports from up the river indicate that the water is gradually falling, but there re- mains 8 vast amount of ice to come down. In the river st Port Deposit a small channel remains open in the gorge through which the ice is slowly passing as it comes down. Little danger is now appre- hended if the gorges at Star Rock and McCalls Ferry should hold and allow the ice to feed down gradually. A mild rain is now falling.

A Story of the Borealis.

The place was the old Warsaw camp
ground in Milton county, Georgia. The
time recently A large and seriously
attentive congregation had assembled for
the night service, the negroes in the rear
of the pulpit, as was the custom in those
days before the war. The preacher was
a talented young man, at that time sta
toned at Marietta. He had reached a
point in the sermon at which he held the
almost undivided attention of the vast
audience, and perfect quiet reigned.
Just at that moment, when the interest
was most intense, al old negro woman
hoped over into the altar, right in front
of the preacher. and shrilly cried out ::
"Hallelujah! the Judgment day am
come" Her joyful exclamation caused
the crowd to look out from under the
arbor, and, sure enough, there was a
striking and magnificent spectacle.
The northern heavens were lit up by a
gorgeous aurora. Not many in that
crowd understood the phenomena, which,
in fact is rarely observable from southern
ATTITUDES, and, not understanding, many
concluded that the OLD auntic's explana-
ton was the true one. "Ah. then there
was hurrying to, and gathering tears,
and tremblings of Distress" Indeed, so
great was the commotion that there was
imminent danger of n stampede and that
somebody would be crushed in the sway
ing crowd.
1t was at this crisis a preacher, well
known to Methodist circles, tall, angu-
lar, red headed, with the voice of a
stentor, ran out and mounted con
venieut stump. "Be calm, my friends, "
he shouted, "be calm. This is not the
judgment day, for how could the judg
ment day come in the night?" The in.
congruity struck the people with sooth-
ing force, their fears subsidized, the
preacher finished his sermon and order
reigned in Warsaw Fairbun (Ga.)

Wolves Killed by Eagles.

''Bearcoot" is the name of very large
black eagle found in the rocky defles of
Amoor river. SO bold and powerful
are these birds that they have been
known to attack and even kill wolves
The following incident, recorded by Mr.
Thomas w. Atkinson in his Travels
and Adventures Among the Mountain
Kirghis," will illustrate the power and
courage of the bearcoot, beside showing
that he would prove formidable oppo-
nent to any unarmed man, if hunger
prompted him to dispute possession of
his game:
Three of these dark monarchs of the
sky were seen soaring high above the
crags to the south, which were too
abrupt to ride over. We therefore pick
eted our horses to feed, and began to
ascend the mountain slope. In about
an hour and a half we reached the sum-
nit, and descended into a small wooded
valley, when we observed the bearcoots
wheeling round the upper end, in the
direction we fastened. Having gone q
quick pace for about three miles, we
reached a rocky G zen that led us into
valley of the Bean, known as a favoritc
resort of maral Ga kind of dcer).
We had scarcely entered this spot
when singular spectacle was presented
to our view. A large maral had been
hunted down by three wolves, and the
ravenous brutes were tearing the animal
to pieces while yet breathing. We in.
stantly prepared to intlicc punishment
on two of the beasts, and crept quietly
along under cover to get within range.
We succeeded, and were leveling our
rifles, when Sergae called my attention
to two large bearcoots posing aloft, and
preparing for IL swoop. He whispered,
Don't fire; we shall see some grand
sport"
Presently one of the eagles shot down
like an arrow, and was almost instantly
followed by the other. When within
about forty yards of the group, the
wolves caught sight OF them, and in
stantly stood on the defensive, showing
their long yellow fangs and uttering a
savage howl. In few seconds the first
bearcoot struck his prey, one talon was
fixed on his back, the other on the upper
part of the neck, completely securing
the head, while he tore ont the VOLTS
liver with his beak The other bearcoot
had seized another wolf, and shortly
both were as lifelcss as the animal they
had hunted.
The third brute snalled when his com
rades set up their wailing howls, and
started for the cover; he was soou within
range, when a puff of smoke rose from
Sergae's rifle, and the wolf rolled over
dead. The report startled the bearcoots,
but we remained concealed. and they
commenced their repast on the stag.
Their attack had been made with so
much galIantry that neither the old hun
ter nor myself could raise rifle against
them, or disturb their banquet. When
satisfied, they scared up to some lofty
crags, and Sergae took off the skins of
the poachers, which he intended keeping
as trophies bravely Won by the eagles.

Ordinary whitewash, as frequently
used, has very little effect except to dis
figure the trees. To destroy the insects
and eggs hidden in the crevices of the
trees very much stronger applications
have to be used. Soft-soap reduced to
the consistence of thick paint, with the
addition of strong solution of washing
soda, makes one of the most effective
and most lasting washes. A solution of
one pound of commercial potash, in from
two to four gallons of water is also very
good.
A correspondent writes that he finds
tobacco stems placed about the root of a
peach tree answers three important pur-
poses, namely: That OF good mulch, to
destroy the borer and rs fertilizer
Wood ashes impede the borcr because he
dlslikes to work in them. 7 he ashes
are also an excellent fertilizer, supplying
that important principle in plant growth,
potash, of which the peach requires a
considerable quantity. The unusual
thrift and health of our currant bushes
and their exemption from the currant
worm prove wood and coal ashes to be
also useful fertilizer for them, as well
as for the peach.
