InundatiOn of Streets.
PORT DEPOSIT, Md, Feb. 12.-This
afternoon the ice in the Susquehanna
river broke just north of this place and
came down with a rush. The ice and
water quickly rose over the tracks Of the
Columbia and Port Deposit railroad and
swept through the lower portion of the
town, flooding the streets to q depth of
three or four feet. The inhabitants were
compelled to move promptly, leaving
their houses and goods to the mercy of the
elements. Subsequently the water
found a vent and receded, but
left the streets blOckaded with
immense quantities of ice. The river is
higher than for many years, and for more
than a mile railroad tracks are covered
with water and ice, which is rushing
down the grade WITH tremendous force.
1t is impossible TO estimate the loss, but
a heavy rain that is falliBg tonight makes
the situation more serious than it has
been at any time this winter, as the
general breaking up OF the gorge is
feared.
ICE GoRGEs FORMING.
PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 12.-Dispatches
from Reading. Lancaster, EastOn, Tren-

caused the lowland to be overaowed. No
serious damage has been done yet, but
fears are entertained that great loss will
ensne if the waters continue to rise.

to Spies and his utterances. Mr.. Foster
quoted the old adage, that barking dog
never bites" Spies never concealed his
sentiments. They were made public time

was talkative, that could not be dis
puted. There must be something in the
constitution of the mans brain which
made him give utterance to his wild talk.
The man loved nOtoriety, that was all.
