In East Penn Township, this county,
reside peaceably and harmoniously to
gether! John Rehrlg, who lias attained
tho rlpo old geof i)3 years, and'Jlrs.
Rehrlg, his first "better half," aged 89
years. Both healthy and robust.. Mr.
R. faithfully provides for their support,
pursuing arduous bodily labors, such as
mowing, chopping wood and all other
farmers' pursuits, tiresome to the
youngest aud most robust. His 'prin
cipal hobby, however, always was hun
ting, many a deer's life was ended from
the effects of his deadly aim while fol.
lowing them barefooted, A peculkulty
of his Is uever to wear boots, always
broad soled and comf irta'blo shoes.
Never was known to have been sick ot
any account. His wlfo also performs
well her part of tho domestic duties,
without any assistance; has also been
healthy all her lifo time. Conclusively,
I would add that It frequently astonish
es people to learn to what nn advanced
age snmo pnopls arrlvo at, but, it Is
oftentimes due to nothing else but their
mode of living substantial but spare
diet, their comfortable style ot dress,
and general depaitment.

To the Editor of Tut Ciibox Adyocati.
Dear Silt, In glancing over your
spicy sheet, I see nn artlclo on "Pnrry
villa Items," written by ono "Oney
Jokin," who makes tho startling an
nouncement that "Parryvlllo is a Bor
ough," this Is news indeed; we should
not have been awaro of tho fact had
not your correspondent reminded us of
It; our wholo borough ("Borough"
looks well In print) is Indebted to htm
for it, but this Is not all, he also thinks
that we can not have a borough without
a "lock-up" or "Jug," as ho is. pleased
to call It, and wonders if be shall ever
have an opportunity to occupy It. Is
ho a member ot Council? If so he
should certainly bo on the Building
Committee, allowing bltn his twoweeks
to report whether It Improperly built."
Your correspondent has "Lock up" on
tho brain, and deserves to occupy It all
to himself when finished, for I rear that
wo shall have very little use for It, as
tho citizens of this placo are a law-abiding
people, second to none In the State.
Can't "Oney Jokin" give us some
thing better than "Jug" question?
Give us something else, say water
works forlnstance,or street lampi.wecan
dispense with gas while ho takes sucli
an interest in our nffalrs.
Yours,
SERIOUS.

Wllkesbarre, Pa., March 31. The
river continues to rlsi more rapidly than
it has before to-day. It Is a mile wide
hero, and ft great volume of water U
flowing across the Kingston flats.but is
not yet floating away any of the scat
tered ice boulders. At Port Blanch ard
It has overflown the banks of tho canal
again, and It Is now nearly bank full
where It passes through Wllkesbarre.
A little further rise will flood Canal-st.
The Tout ot the gorge shows no slgus of
giving way.
The foot of the Ransom gorge has
lodged against the foot of this gorge
without starting It. The water has
risen n fnot-and-a-half here in a llttje
over an hour, and Is now twenty ono
feet above lew water mark,bultlie gorge
shows no sign of giving nwuy.and may
hold out through the night.
Tho water is backlug up nt West
PitUton, pud Is just bt-glnnlcg to flood
that placo. Tho Lehigh Valley rail
road is flooded between hero aud I'itte
tan, and all trains have been abondou
ed between the two places, and there
are no malls from the North. The last
train down reached here at seven o'clock
this eveulug two hours behind time.
A LackaAouna aud Bloomsburg train
was just ahead of It, and both were Ill
lad with passengers. The track was
covered with water 'for a mile and a
i half, anddn totnei places It was so deep
as to cover.tno -second stp ot.tuocars,
and came within a -few Inches ef run
nlrg Into 'the Pro box of tho engine
Tho current acrossitho track was rapid,
and carrledtwltli It great cakes of loo,
.railroad sills, fences and logs.
The trains moved slowly nnd had to
stop every fow feet to remove obstruc
tions. No. 4, north, was met on the
Inundated track with its baggage car off
tho rails, Tho hind truck had been
caught by an ico bquldcr, the baggage
was removed, tho car cut loose and left
lu the Hood. .Men rode on tho front of
the engines on the down trains, and tho
steps of tho cars wero occupied by con
ductors, brakemen and pasenger?,who
wero all kept busy in pushing and kick
Ingtwny log sand ice boulders from;the
track. At the Swinging Bridgo there
was a great mass of floating Ico and
driftwood on tho track, and while a
passage was being opor.ed through It,
about an aero of Ice, which had been
lodged on the right of tho track, begau
to inove and beaded across tho track In
front .cvf tho train. It looked danger
ous, and tho men becamo frightened and
ladies began to cry. Some trees and
bushes, however arrested Its progress
and the trains mado their .waythrougk
before Ic started again.
Wllkesbarre, Pa., .March 317.45 P.
M. TAie river has been rising rapidly
since threo o'clock this afternoon. Tho
Ramson gorgo gave way at 5.80 P. M.,
and Is now sweeping down tho river.
Wllkesbarre, March 8111 P. M.
Tho river has fallen flvu inches since
ulno P. M., tbewaler having found ad
ditional outlet across tho Kingston flats,
through which it is rushing with great
force and noise. The Wllkesbarre gorgo
is yet apparently immovable, and it will
probably remain so until the water Is
raised several feet higher by a storm or
by Its stoppage on the flats. The river
is also fulling at Pittston. and that nlkce
has escaped a second Inundation.
