Little Damage As Yet From Floods

The ice in the Octoraro broke up on
Friday and the great mass of it was
swpet out upon the frozen Suequehanna,
TO height OF or 10 feet Huge cakes
were left along the banks at Rowland
vile. The road to Richardsmere was
blocked, and the road to Port Deposit
was also made impossible. Christie s
grist mill was flooded to a depth of sew
eral inches, and the Felt Paper Mill was
temporarily disabled. The ice above
Conowingo is IA inches thick, and the
gorge at Pequea is feet high. At the
McCalls Ferry dam the ice is feet
thick, but the concrete wall keeps it
from the dam. The Little Elk broke up
last Friday, and the North East road, at
Red Mill, Eikton, was blocked. From
the railroad bridge to Elk Landing the
ice still holds, and it has not yet broken

Cecil Democrat. of which he became
editor and manager and later proprietor

State Auditor, which he filled also under

appointed by the present Board of Pub
lie Works. Mr.. Ash was also for sew
eral terms member of he County

the memory of his life long devotion

would have sufficed."

Minute Directions Given for Corporal
Punishment in Korea.
ign Correspondence Of The Star.

TOXIC. May IL. 1872
The Official Gazette contains an adj
mfnistrative order giving minute direc-
lions as to the method of application Of
corporal punishment in the Korean pen
insula.
The culprit shall lie on his stomach.
his hands stretched out above his head
and fastened. Straps are to be passed
round the body and round the knee
joints and arms, with the clothes so ar
ranged as to expose the hips The exc
cutioner shall stand with his whip at
arms lenght the tip protruding three
inches over the edge of the prisoners
body. The executioner's left hand shall
be on the left side, palm upward. the
right foot in advance, and bearing the
weight of the body.
The stroke is to be delivered perpen-
dicularly. and the skin is under no cir
cumstances to be broken. The punish
ment Is to take place one hour after
a meal. and the prisoner, IL he requires
refreshment during the operations, shall
be given drink OF fresh water.
The notice had provided the Toxic press
with an opportunity for displaying its
wit. It is suggested that Mr. Yamamets.
minister of finance. might obtain some
thing toward covering the deficit in the
budget by making the spectacle a public
one at a charge of a penny per head
for spectators.
