About the swiftest curent in the Ohio river is at Haysville. This is caused by the dyke built long ago. It forces the water to this side of the stream,.and the river joins, at the dyke, the water divided by Neville island, .so that it unites with the main stream. ,On Wednesday afternoon ice began coming down, out of the Allegheny river. at Oakmont, where it was 15 feet thick’. It was in small pieces, and did no damage, but delayed upstream boats. One boat, with a tow of empties, tried-in vain to get past Haysville, Wednesday, and had to back down and' tie up. *
