A Chapter on Ice.

Just at this time the question as TO
how much or how little damage the ice
will do when 1t goes out. The present
indications are that 1t will go out, and
that soon, but as there are no general
rules for figuring on freeze-ups and
thaw-outs, we want IT understood that
we are not making any predictions, but
will give some of cur observations,
dating back as far as the winter of
1882, which was very cold up TO the 8eh
day of January. The ice at that time
being 1S inches thick in the creeks and
rivers. There was foot of snow on
the ground and it went off with rain,
which caused a rise in all Of the
streams and a breakup OF the ice.
AS many people had loaded fat boats
frozen up in the mouth of Duck Creek
to take care of, we were more interest
ed than others, except Lewis and John
Bowling, who also had boat to care
for. 1t was a question for time
which would go first, the ice in the
creek or the ice in the river. Finally
tn eice in the river started and went
the ice in the river started and went
gorge having formed at the foot of the
island setting the water back till It
rose four feet in a few minutes at the
mouth OF the creek, which was now
coming out strong; and having no out
let on the Ohio side of the island, con-
cluded to try the other side, which 1t
did by turning the current UP stream.
One old gentleman who had witnessed
this unusual performance remarked
that he had lived to see the Ohio run
up stream, anyhow. Some of cur his
torians claim that the melting off of
this snow that caused the breakup in
January was the cause of the flood of
that year, which is amistake, as the
flood was at its highest on the 14th of
February, full month after that.
There may have been plenty of snow
in the mountains to help make the
flood, we have no doubt, but 1t was all
gone in this locality. The boats that
were in Duck Creek we're saved, but
many others were destroyed in the
breakup at other points along the
river.
The breakup of 1882 was probably
as rough a one as any that ever oc-
Cured in cur experience, and we have
been through several of which we may
have something to say later
