Low Water Mark-Damage

READING, Pa, February 12.-The
Schuylkill river at this point is ten
feet above low wstsr mark and still
rising at the rate of six inches per
hour. An immense ice gorge formed
about midnight at Shoemakerville, if
teen miles north of here. Large
blocks OF ice we're piled many feet
high and when the water rose the ice
was pushed on the adjoining low
lands. sweeping away trees, fences and
small outbuildiDgs and flooding many
farm-houses. The gorge broke away
this aftsrncoa leaving a vast stretch OF
country a great field Of ice. The river
below Reading is twelve feet above
low water mark. At Leesport, ten
miles north, another dangerous gorge
formed, but a channel was opened and
the ice moved away. Mt. Laurel,
stream emptying into the Schuylkill,
was never higher than now.

glomerstion OF Heterogeneous elements,

fit as far as the rasping goes, but rO,h-
ing less than a denudation of the

that are making profit at the expense

OF those who work for a living and do
not seek 10 live by scheming and by
the plumber Of injurious taxstion. We
are glad to see that il is proposed TO
admit lumber free. Naked and bar
rem hills, and rivers altsrnatively too
low for navigation and deluging whole
districts with floods, show that the
destruction Of our forests has reached
the danger point and shOnld be
checked. As the chopping work is
principally done by imported French
Canadians, the interests OF American
labor would net suffer by the change.
Salt is another thing it is proposed TO
admit flee. In justice t, our farmers
this change ought TO be made. 1t is a
raw material indispensable in making
their butter and cheese, and in pre-
serving their meatI A thorough re.
form Of our whole tariff is required.

Morrison will show in Its working the
beneficial effects Of even partial re-

advantage gained it Will insist or sn

existing evils, and will accomplish it

BILE by broken bouehs, and dsmage i
some places is said TO be nearly equa
10 that of the ice storm OF the 29.h ult-
imo. At other points there has been
no freezing, but the floods have worked
perhaps even more disaster. The
streets have been turnd into brooks,
the city squares into ponds,
easements into cisterns and the low
lands OF the countryside into lakes.
At Shrewsbury the soldiers monu-
ment was destroyed by falling tree.
Between Fall River and Lewiston
bridge the Old Colony road was
washed out in three places. At Olney-
vile three mills had to be shut down
because Of water in the engine-rooms
or wheel-pits. The Connecticut and
other rivers are very high and are
steadily rising, and people living on
the banks are momeDtaIily expecting
a breakup Of the ice, which, IL 1t
comes, mutt work great damage.
