A deer was chased by hounds on
Friday of last week, from somewhere in
the lower part of Judge Dickinson's
flats to Hyde' barn yard in the eastern
part of town. Tho deer passed up
Centre street, and into a lot of Ji. F.
Ely ou Mill street, and from
thence into tho court house square,
and up South street to tho place where
he was caught several of our valiant
(?) hunters, were on the trail, and at
each coDviaeot point on tho route, a
new hound or two was let loose, upon
tho tenified animal, several shots were
fired, but fell far short of their aim.
The deer was a young fawn and when
caught was completely tired out. James
Earley, succeeded in getting it and
now has it a his place. Let us sug
gest that flung off firearms in the
streets is a dangerous pastime, and
might endanger life, and that hunting
deer is now out of season, and bouuiug
deer is unlawful
THE FLOOD GEEAT BAUA32 AND'LOSS
OF LIFi.
The flood in tho Susquehanna 7?ivct was
attended last week with disastrous results
The ice gorged above IVilkesbarre between
0 and lOo'clock on Tuesday night, and the
back water flooded Pittslon. It rose two
feet higher than in 1 86 ", nnd reached West
1'ittson. At half past I Wednesday morn
ing the ice broke up with a terrible cra-Ji,
and moved pnst Wilkcshnrre, Another
gorge wns formd nt Ihn island, a mile he-
low, and in ten minutes the river rose live
feot, and continued rising until it reached
twenty-five feet above low-watermark, nnd
the ice touched the King'ton bridge Tho
ice enkes were four feet thick, nnd all com
munication with the fppposito sido of the
river was stopped. Communication be.
Iween Wilkcsbarre and Kingston remained
suspended, owing to the submergence of
the Hats on cither side of the river, and t lie
perilous'condition of the bridge. 'J'hc dam .
age at Kingston was much greater than at
Wilkcsbnrro, the iron bridge of (ha Lacka
wanna and IJlonmsburg lailioad, and the
woodeu wagon bridges having bcn swept
nwny. The railroad bridge cost !j!l:!0.0(MI,
and the county bridiges ueaily 'iO.ODO
each, These bridges ar.i jammed in a
gorgo throe miles nbovc Wilkeslnrrc.
The Lehigh Valley I'ailroud, both above
and below 1'ittston, is covered in places
with huge blocks of ice, and no trains run
above Wilkcsbnrro- At Nnntienbe dam,
eight, miles below vVilUesbarre, tho ice
moved on Wednesday, but remained solid
above iho dam. A gorg also formed be
tween linnville and Sualniry, causing a
great flood, aud cuttin;; off railroad com
munications. 'J lie highway bridge at
Catawispa was carried away and part of
the bridge at P.m.'ille. On each side of
the river for mile?, is a polid wall of ico.
and the river bed fruiii Campbell's Ledge
to Wilkesbarre, a distance ol twelve miles,
is a "field of ice, studied with immense
boulders." West I'itcson was caught be
tween two flood-", one of which broke
through a raviue nt the base o( tho moun
tains at 1 o'clock on Wednesday morning.
The losses by the flood nnd by the obstruc
tion of railroad travel are estimated at $1,
OW.OOl). A dispatch from Columbia, on the lower

be no doubt, however, that conductor p
