☞ It is almost time for the annual Camp Meetings of our Methodist friends to take place.—We would suggest the propriety of holding the next one for this district, in close proximity to Lansingburgh. The rural grove just at the south of Wm. Lansing’s eddy, would be a beautiful spot for the purpose, and if that did not suit, where is there a lovelier spot to be found out of doors than in the gorge between the hills adjoining friend Bacon’s garden.

☞ We understand that a sailing party is to come off this evening; the party visits Lansing’s eddy and the thousand isles. ‘Let joy be unconfined.’

☞ PREMIUM SKATING.—Mr. Charles W. Hasbrouck of this village took a little skate one day last week, that may well open the eyes of juvenile skaters. He left the foot of Elizabeth street about 10 o’clock, skating up the Hudson, in Lansing’s eddy, around the islands, rapids and icebergs in that locality, and long before 12 o’clock, opened the farm gate of the “Old House by the River,”—the residence of Mr. Robert M. Hasbrouck of Schaghticoke—some eight miles north of this village. After enjoying a capital dinner he started for home, and at 3 o’clock was seen mingling with the hundreds of both sexes, enjoying themselves on the ice opposite our office. If Robert is bound to shine in the political arena, we’ll bet a keg of oysters that Charles can beat him on the ice.

—The warm sun doesn’t seem to effect the soundness of the ice in the river at this point, while the superb skating is enjoyed by all. […]
—While enjoying a skate near Lansing’s eddy, Tuesday night, George Vandercook fell into an air hole, and had it not been for the timely arrival of Edward Robbins, the boy would have perished as he was nearly exhausted when taken out of the water.

THE SPRING FRESHETS.
—

Another Field of Ice Goes Down the Hudson—The Water Rising Again.
At 5 o’clock this morning the water in the Hudson had gone down one foot since 6 o’clock last evening. At 9 o’clock this morning the water was two inches higher than at 5 o’clock, but it was four feet below last week’s high-water mark. The ice above the dam, from the Casino to the Waterford bridge, passed out yesterday afternoon without doing any damage. Last night’s rain and the rain of to-day will raise the river again, but it is not thought it will come to the highest point reached last week.
Early yesterday afternoon the ice in the Hudson moved easily out at Waterford, as far north as the bend at Lansing’s eddy. The water immediately began to fall. North of Lansing’s point the ice remains intact, although it shows signs of weakening.
The ice went out quietly at Stillwater last night. The river is open from Stillwater to Bemis Heights. No damage is reported.

Above Lansing’s Eddy.
The campers on the Hudson above Lansing’s Eddy who were driven out Thursday night by high water, which completely surrounded their camps, moved back last night and this morning. At Webber’s the camps were also surrounded by water. The water partly covered Campbell’s Collins’ and Sisson’s islands yesterday, but to-day the flood has receded. Clyde Orrrett and two companions were camping on Collins’ island Thursday night and yesterday morning their tent was surrounded by water and it was with difficulty that they were rescued by George Straight, who procured a boat and brought them to the east shore.
