On Tuesday Thos. Scott, George Edwards and Henry Hoke, of this city, were arrested and taken before the Mayor, on a warrant issued by E. S. Shryock, a justice of the peace of Cumberland county, on a charge of gambling, preferred by Alfred Wagner and J. E.

Mountz. It is alleged that on the 23d of December, 1874. the de fendants visited Carlisle when they commenced and carried on the "three card monte" game. They entered bail in the Bum of $600 each for their appearance at the next term of the Court of Quarter Sessions for Cumberland connty, to be held on the second Mon day of Charged with False Pretense. This morning a fine looking and well dressed young man, aged about twenty years, who gave his name as Thomas Bowers, and his home as Philadelphia, was arresvd, taken before the Mayor and held for a hearing on a charge of false pretense preferred by Mrs.

Margaret Matthews. It is charged that the defendant came to the city and procured boarding at the house of Mrs, Matthews, represxjnting that he was a page at the Caj ital he subsequently stated he was ei ployed by the reporters, and at anoli time that several members had him in their employ. Upon making inquiry his landlady ascertained that bis statements were false. He had incurred a debt of fifty dollars for boarding. Sudden Colds.

Great danger is to be apprehended from sudden colds at this season of the year on account of the great amount of snow and slush now covering the ground, which may result in pneumonia. There is no specific rule for guarding against this dangerous disease, but the exercise of good common sense will do much to prevent taking cold. Wet feet, going from a warm room into the chilly air, laying off warm wrappings after a brisk walk in a room sufficiently heated, sleeping in a damp or cold bed before the body or feet have become sufficiently warm, are among the mcst common methods of exposure. All these can easily, and should vigilantly be guarded against. While pneumonia is in the air, as it certainly is now, a great deal of extra caution can be exercised with profit.

The Staoe of the. River. Con lrary to the general expectation of our citizens there has as yet been no remarkable freshet at this point. Since three o'clock yesterday afternoon the river has raised about five feet. This morning the ice came down in large quantities and in immense blacks, and the water indicated fifteen and a half feet above low water mark Crowds of people assembled on the banks of the river to view the passage of the ice.

At noon the water was falling and no fears of damage are entertained. The track of the Pennsylvania railroad was submerged between Baldwin and High spire, and no trains departed for or ar ved from the east until about eleven o'clock. The north track is now entirely clear and the south track is covered with ice. The Paxton creek has overflown its banks on account of the backing up of the water from the river, and many of the pieces of ground in the immediate vicinity are under water The channel of the river both on this side and the Cumberland side is clear About 10:45 A. sr.

a portion of the wreck of one of the up river bridges passed down the other side of the river. No doubt the cold weather of yesterday and to day has prevented an immense amount of damage.

Wilkes a arre, March 17. The ice in the Susquehanna river became gorged for miles above here between 9 and 10 o'clock la3t night, and the back water flooded Pittston and caused a great amount of damage. The water was two feet higher than in 18G5, and ran over yard fences and flooded houses in West Pittston. At 1:30 o'clock this morning the ice began to break and move past this city, but a gorge was formed at the island, a mile below, and the river raised five feet in ten minutes, and kept coming up until the ice touched the bridge. Th en it stopped and remained stationary till daylight.

Since then it has fallen over a foot. The cakes of ice are over four feet thick, and are piled up against the bridge, placing that structure in great danger. This morning the two wagon bridges at Pittston were carried away, the railroad bridge having gone early in the evening. The ice below the gorge at the island is not yet broken at all, and should the one above Wilkesbarre, which caused the submerging of West Pittston, give way first, the danger here would be great. Wilkesbarre, March 17 10:25 p.

m. The river is Btill stationary, and tne weather growing colder. It is thought that the ice will hardly move further until the cold moderates. A portion of the city, through which the north branch of the canal runs, was flooded by the backwater finding its way into it. The banks of the canal were overflowed and many cellars filled, and some planing mills and other business places obliged to close up.

The running of the water through that section has now stopped, owing to the freezing weather. The river at Pittston is clear of ice, but it remains very high, owing to the gorge above The Lackawanna and Bloomsburg iron railroad bridge, which was swept away last night at Pittston, cost $120,000, and "the two wooden wagon bridges cost nearly $50, 00 each. The Lehigh Valley railroad above and below Pittston is covered in many places with great blocks of ice, and no trains run above Wilkesbarre. As yet no lives have been lost, though some narrow escapes have been reported. Scranton, March 17.

"A good many of the stores and banks at Pittston were closed to day, owing to the fact that bankers and merchants residing on the west side of the Susquehanna have been unable to cross the rivei since the bridges were swept away. Hundreds of acres along the river are flooded from; Campbell's Ledge lo Wilkesbarre, a distance of twelve miles, and tne spectacle presemea oy tne mov ing field of ice, with immense rugged bowlders of ice rising at intervals, is one of destruction and desolation. On each side of the river for miles a solid wall of ice glistened in the sunlight to day. The remnants of the three bridgeswhich have been swept away have caught in an ice gorge at Forty ort. lour miles below Pittston.

and are telescoped one into the other. West Pittston stands between two floods, one of which broke through a ravine at the base of the mountains at one o'clock this morning, cutting off the flight of the inhabitants, who sought the mountains for safety. The loss by the flood and obstruction to railroad traffic will not fall short of 1,000,000. The bridge at Wilkesbarre cannot stand the pressure to night. Already upward of $20,000 of stock for a new bridge at Pittston has been sub Columbia, Pa.

TheNorth Branch is very high, and fears are entertained that the bridge at Northumberland may be damaged by the bridges which are coming down from above. About one half of Sun bury is in danger of being flooded.

Mauch Chunk, March 17. No danger is apprehended; from the Lehigh river. The warm weather of the past few days has removed an immense quantity of ice, and the channel is now clear. Danville, March 17. The bridge over the Susquehanna at this place has been carried The water is higher than in 1865, and is rising.

There is an ice gorge between here and Sunbury. Railroad connec tion has been cutoff. The Lackawanna and Bloomsburg railroad bridge and two highway bridges at Pitt9lon have been carried away. The bridge at Plymouth and Nanticoke are in great danger. PouonKEEPSiE, N.

sr. The ice gorge in the Susquehanna river at Hooper, eight miles west of Binghamton, is over four miles longand twenty to thirty feet high. The valley is overflowed, and the bridge at Union in great danger. The gorge at Great Bend is threatening the bridge there. At present the weather is cold, and the river falling.

i Albany, N. March 17. The ice in the Mohawk river west of here remains firm, with no immediate prospect of its breaking up. The weather to night is very cold, with a strong west wind blowing. CALIFORNIA.

San Francisco, March 17. The execution of the brigand Yas quez is fixed for Friday, 19th inst. San Jose advices from Los Angeles state that Chavez, the Lieutenant of Vasquez, has sent letters to prominent individuals in that city threatening blooding vengeance if Vasquez is executed. A petition was telegraphed to Gov. Pacheco yesterday from influential cit zens of Los Angeles, including some of the party who captured Vasquez, asking a postponement of the execution.

The Governor replied, declining to postpone the execution saying that the danger from Chavez will be as great at the end of the delay as it is now. KENTUCKY. 1 Louisville, March 17.

I was Speaker of the House of Representatives when the war of the rebellion was inaugurated, and when the Senator from Montour fMr. Chalfant referred to some of our past reminiscences I recollected distinctly what took place then. Party feelings were high; we had not the peaceful ses sions tnat we nave naa during the last winter. But no sooner had the old flag of our country been fired upon at.
