Tho bank inof anaverage hoight of 15 fect the contre distance, with the oxcoption of about a quarter of amile, whore the depression occurs, reducing the bank for that distance tos height of 8 or 0 fect, This ow ground ia betwean what ia known ag tha Pine Woods Camp Ground, 4 miles wont of Port Jervis, nad the tavern of A. I. Rone, beyond tho Camp Ground. It was to this latter place that the party drove, Tho river was rising slonly. 'To make further observations they drove to Noso'sa tavern. Thoy had not been there long Loforo thelr attention trax called to a negro who had climbed to 6 high knoll on the Pennsylvania aldo of the river, aud was looking steadily up tho stream, Suddonly he throw up his hands, and ahonted to acme ono in s honke at tho foot of the ominonco to “Got ont of there.” ‘Tho alarm waa evidently not heeded, and the negro atarted procipitatoly down tho ill, rolling most of tho way. Entering tho honse, ho xoon appeared with an armiul of house- hold goods, followed by his wife and soveral children, and all hurried np the hill, There is a clustor of housea about Roso's tavern, and tho Inmatea oll Jaughed heartily at the negro’s hasty exit, aud scouted tho ides that there was ony danger from tho oxpoctad flood. The gentlemen from Port Jorvis, however, wero of tho opinion that tho alarm of the colored man was caused by o mothing hecould ree up tho river from hin high poat, and were proparing to ascertain what it was whon, half a milo up the atronm, eweop- ing majentically around a bend, tho object of tho nogro's alarm was soon in tho form of a moving wall of ica, which soomed to be iltorally stalking slong like a gisnt. ‘Cho river conmonced to rise rapidly where tho party wtood, and thoy saw thnt unless they gat across the quarter of a mile of low ground at once thor roturn to Port Jorvis would bo cut off. Buchauan, the driver, in- atantly turned hia horgos, tho two others jumped in tho weigh, and tho horses started undor the whip aa fast oa thoy could run, Whon the advancing Hood waa frat seen by tho threo the river at Roso's was 8 foot boluw the bank, By the timo thoy got auder way tho ice had been lifted up even with the top of the bank, and was still rixing rapidly, and traveling with great volocity. ‘Iho race now Legan. Tho sleigh had not procecdod two loucths before tho fea commenéed filling tho road in its rear with huge blocks, and was following the ying con- yoyance with aspocd and noise that wore fear- ful, Luo driver piled the whip at every jump of tho horaos, but, although they seemed to fly, the 2 yards’ spaco betwoon the sleigh aud the ico waa not ineroased by aninch, Lhe horses wero not many seconds clearing the low ground, and, whon thoy struck tho foot of tho dectivity lead- ing up to the highor bank, the flood of ico al- must touched the slei and tho occupants of tho renr seat crowded up in frout, mo- mentarily oxpeating that soma ono of tho thousands of hugo blocks ruling along almost abroaat of thom would to;ple over and crush thom. They roxched tho high bank, and al- though tho icy wavo rushed by thom within B feet, they folt that thoy lad escaped the graat- ost danger. Looking back aver tho road they hnd passed, thoy wero fillod with awe at tho scons, Instead of the dopressod and, with a narrow road crossing it, they saw tho hollow hind becomoa monud of ics, Cala weighing bun- dreds of tons lay piled up soveral foet whore tho road had beon, and were oven throws clear Raroas tho road ovarthe fonco into tho fiolda, It was through that low, gully-like pleco of laud that it was thought the myer would make its way If tho ico-gorgo did uot give wav when the high water came. But for tho fact that tho up- por end of the gorgo had worn away almost to that point, thero is na doubt the toad would havo beon forced through thore, oud much ‘gvoster damage would havo followed than ro- sulted from the innndation of yesterday, A fow hundrod foot weat of tho rosidonco of Wado Buckloy, which is in tho oxtromo upper part of Gormantown, tho river turoa away from tho road, and a tlat of eovoral acres ronches out to tho river's cdgo, Whou the tlood reached tho fist the channel became blocked bolow, aud tho wholo masy Locamo for a timo statiounry. Proa- ently, undar the groat prossure of the body of 1co above, the flood took another course, and commenced swosping through a low part of tho fist, which would takoit on the oant aldo of Buck- Joy’s house, ood directly aorows tho road.
