GNEAT EKESHET-

It0ppears that they have terrible floods
in the northeast, and that their destructive
consequences are not confined to the valley
Of the Mississippi. \ letter dated at Hal

most melancholy account Of destruction, by
he present ireshct, that has as yet come to
nur knowledge. is the sweeping OF almost
entirely Of The tlour,saing little village at
Livermora Falls, situated on the Andres
roggjn river. Seventeen buildings, consis-
ing of stores and houses. with all their con-
tents, were carried down the river, and we
are told, SO sudden was the overflow that
the occupants had no time to save their

"a Horse, H3rsal"-During Mr.. Kcan's per-
Torrance of Richard the Third recently at the
Park Theatre, New York, says the n. o, Delta G.
green Yermonter Who wasa stranger to the MINI
ic art, never having been at theatre before, took
seat in the pit pretty near the orchestra, and wa
observed to watch The performance with absorbing
interest. He neither joined in the applause be-
slowed on the performers nor in the Kisses Law
ishod on the "supcs," but silently and admiring
looked on at the play. He heard the drum beat to
arms at Bosworth teld--heard Richards soul-stir-
ring address to his army, and that of Richmond
slso--he saw the onslaught and heard the clash Of
arms, and still did he preserve in his silence, but
when at length Richard comes Keeling in, over
come almost by the loss Of blood and the disas-
ers of the day, crying out at the top Of his voice
"A horse! 4 horse! Ny kingdom for horse -
The Vermonter rose and "sung" OUT
"Look here, stranger, hain't got no horse but
have first rate bob-tail mare round here at the
stable--as Sure.tooted q critter rs ever cantered
Jest hold there; l'm bland if don't bring her
! TO you right Off"
The Vermonrer, as they say in critical Parlancc,
brought down the house"

WATER RUNNING UP HILL.

DR.. Smith, ~ a lecture on geology, at
New York, mentioned curious circum-
stance connected with tie Mississippi river.
It runs from north to south, and its mouth is
actually four miles higher than its source, a
result due to the centrifugal motion Of the
earth. Thirteen miles is the difference be
tween the equatorial and polar radius; and
the river in Two thousand miles, has TO rise
one.third of this disiance-it being the
haighIh Of the cqultoy above the pole. II

Clifford wIy don't you speak to me?'-
The following anecdote, which was headed
"A Theatrical Auctoneer," was originally
published in this paper, some six or seven
years since. Mrs. Kean's charming per-
sonation of Julia in 'Hunchback, at the
ST. Charles on Saturday night last, re-
minded us of the anecdote, and we have
thought it not out of place to republish it
at this time. The mad wag of an auction
eer-we knew him WELLS still alive at
Boston. and as full of his jokes as ever.
But here is the anecdote:
"a young man who had made going,
going. going his professional great favor
tie among the knights of buskin, and all
the good fellows, besides being a chosen
favorite among the ladies-was once mount
ed, hammer in hand, selling a piece of fur
nture. He was well conversant with all
the dramatic productions of the day, and
among the rest, the 'Hunchback.' then the
rage in Boston, where it occurred. Fanny
kemble was at the time deligthing the
town with her Julia, and every body was
well acquainted with the celebrated lines
"Cliford, why don't you speak to metz
80, Clifford. is it you!" DC, Dc"
which are Iduheu atliohS llc Id'OIile PoititS

Going, going,--last call--ff>y.two--any

three dollars--any more? filty-three-go
on. gcntlemen--fifty- three doIIars--going
at fifty-three dollars-last call--oncc, twice,

said some one. "Who bid fifty three! some
one said fifty-threc; who was il! Who bid
fitty.three?
"Cliaord," said voice near the door
80, Clifford, is it you1' exclaimed the auc-
tioncer, dropping his hammer and clasping
his hands a Ia Fanny Kcmblc. The joke
was rrosistibie-every body recognised it,
and catching the spirit of the thing, the
audience followed up an eXstaCy of laugh
ter with three rounds of applause, while
the auctioneer deliberately drew out his
handkerchief and wiped his nose in bur
lesque imitation of Miss Fanny. Clifford
did YOU say. sir? Clifford" said the auc-
tioneer, when she merryment had little
subsidized. is it cash sir!' Clifford, the
purchaser, it seems was a bashful person
unacquainted With theatrical things, and
| had become somewhat alarmed at the I'M
accountable good humor Of the crowd SO
that he was afraid to open his lips again
lest he should excite another burst Of fun
us it cash SIR" again enquirod the auc
tioneer.
All eyes were turned upon Clifford, whc
looked very much as if he felt that hi
mother mis- ht be anxious about him, bu
still he made no answer. The merry auc
toneer would rather lose his customer thar
his Joke, and he suddenly exclaimed, still
initiating the fiery-eyed Fanny,
"ClifrOrd! why don't you speak to met"
The assembly now screamed with laughter
and. amid an uproarious burst of applause
Clifford made a bolt for the door and es

FLooD AT New ORLEANs--Our New Or
leans exchanges contain an account of
tremendous flood at rhat city, which had
not subsidized at the latest dates. The food
vas owing to two causes-frs', to incess-
ant and heavy rains, which fell without in
PERMISSION for days; and secondly, by tho
east wind driving the waters Of Lake Poni-
chartrain over its BANKS, thus inundating
the whole country. The cars on the New
Orleans and PYntchartraia railroad had
ceased running, the railroad being two feet
and more under water through the entire
route. a great part Of the second munic-
Pality YVES entirely overilowed. The wa
ter had reached within inches Of the great
flood of 1881. On Monday the 9th, it sub
sided a little; but heavy rain accompa-
MED by gale, commenced on Monday

OLD MAIDs.-Whcnever we meet with
an article, or hear remark, sneering al
old maids, we take it to emanatn from some
Anticipated fellow who thinks in this way
to pass off for wit. What a pity every
one of such characters could not understand
that the reason some ladies arc old maids is
because they would not marry such as he.
There is not one woman in ten thousand
that might not have been married had she
pleased, and it is consequently her own
choice that she is not. These paltry
attempts at wit, at the expense of unmarr-
ed ladies' have too long passed current, and
they have done a good deal 10 attach a
kind of odium of silly, unjust, and unfeel-
ing character to one Of the very best classes.
| Who do most to seek out and relieve distress'
Who are the friends of the poor!-Who
care for, work for, and do most to sustain
our churches!-The ladies and the unmarri-
ed ones-And because it has been thought
smart to talk of and laugh at old maids
many girl has, 10 escape the condition
fastened into a miserable marriage anC
passed life of want, sorrow and destitu
lion. No one would long hesitate between
the condition of a cheerful old maid Zane
spite of what some may think they gener
ally are cheerfuD-and that of broken
hearted wife, such as we often see. There
fore all honor to old maids, and may a
GIRLS learn that it is better to be such thai
| TO marry loafers.
