According TO predictions the river
closed yesterday at the wharf. 1t be-
came gOrged at this point al exactly
twenty-five minutes after one o'clock,
having been gOrged at Moundsville at
4 o'clock, and as far as the Riverside
mill al seven o'clock.
As stated in yesterdays Register,
the river became first closed at Buck
Hill Bottom thirty miles below Wheel
ing. As there is q narrow channel at
that point and very little current, it
makes an excellent gOrging place. This
is not the first time the river was gOrg-
ed at Buck Hill-the river closing
there on December llth, 1850. reaching
Beliaire on the 18th. From Bellalre
up past Wheeling for considerable
distance the river was open at that
time. Ii remained closed until the
st. The last general gorge that TOOK
place al Wheeling was on February
18th. 1888. Ii was then closed for a
period of tweuty-eight days. Ii first
broke at the WharfbOat after nine
teen days. but became gorged at the
lower point of the Island and remained
closed until the 2Sth of the month. The
gorge at that time took place at Wheel
ing at 1870 p. Must about the same
time as yesterday.
When the river closed yesterday
there was very little noise or grinding
of the ice. The river is filled With I'M
mence glaciers that have been moving
down for several days past. They are
from three to seven inches thick and
are very tightly wedged together, leav-
ing but a few open places. There IS
quite a good open space for the distance
of 200 or SEQ feet below the whartboat.
If the cold weather continues and TINS
freezes over. Capt. CroCkard intends
to cut through there and drop the
wharfboat down to that point for safe
ty. so that when the river breaks up 1t
will be out of dangers way and cannot
be detached from its mornings. Capt.
Crockard was out with the wharfboat
force Yesterday afternoon when the
closeup of the river occurred, and IN
the effort TO help push the stern OF the
boat out even with the bow, he slipped
and fell headlong on the boat severely
bruising his limbs and knee.
The river was > feet 10 inches just
before IL was closed, and after the
gorge occurred the water was forced
back until it reached 9 feet on the wharf
marks. If the cold weather cOntin-
ues for several days, the ice in the river
will become solicited and so strongly
cemented together that it may be
couple of weeks or more before it will
break up.
Capt. John Crockard said yesterday
that he would not be surprised If we
had some big water in February. The
conditions warrant such prediction be
cause the snow has fallen in the noun
tains and at the headwaters All that
is needed TO bring the water to good
stage is a little rain to melt the accu-
mulated snow and ice.

played the extraordinary musical
ability of those producing it, and was
highly satisfactory to the audience.
Part two of the program was farce,
given by students of DEBORAH Institute.
Following this refreshments were
served, and "social time" was had
until one o'clock. These annual enter

are always appreciated by our citizens,
as is evidenced by the large audiences
which greet them.

During the past week of cold weather
we have heard many people complain
ing of hard weather, hard times and
hard sleighing generally. But to our
minds all of their complaining and
suffering dwindle into nothingness
compared to that of the family that
passed through here on their way from
Northern Wisconsin headed for the
Indian Territory. The outfit consisted
of two men, one woman, three child
rem, dog and a third rate team hitched
to a thinly covered wagon. Their
means must have been very limited as
they put up at a livery stable and
seemed to give hotels wide berth.
