EAsroN, Pa, March 23.-The Delaware
river continued rising unti four o'clock this
morning when it had reached twenty.one
feet. Since that time it has been falling at
the rate of about foot an hour. A large
ice gorge at Delaware Water Gap broke last
night and passed through here with rush.
The principal damage done By the flood was
the washing away of thirty feet of wall
along the Delaware canal which will delay
the opening of navigation for several weeks.

A BILL is now before the legislature OF
New York to substitute electricity for the
gallows rs the punishment for capital
offenses. This is another manifestation of
the silly sentimentalism of thu age. After
a while the extract OF the poppy will be
suggested as the means, and luxurious
apartments as the scene of exit, ofthose who
have Justly forfeited their lives. The pun.
ishmeut for capital crimes, instead of being
lessened, should be intensified, and made
more horrible, so as to increase its deterrent
effect
