have but a moment to inform you that
we have just fllen in with the American
bark Pons Of PhiIade| phia, from Kahinda,
Africa. bound 10 Brazil, with 896 slaves
on board. She sailed from Klhinda on
the 9Th inst, with 903. Seven have
since died. The captain took us for an
English man-of war, and hoisled Ameri-
can coIors, and no doubt had papers TO
corresponds; but suspecline that we might
be an American, or probably confused by
his fright and our changing our flag 10
the English, first showing one color, and
another. he threw all his papers overheard.
AS soon as the slaves knew they were res
captured, they gave a shout which could
be heard a mile. They were landed at
Cape Mesurordo, and the vessel sent 10
Philadelphia.
MORE ABOUT THE SLAYER POHs.-
The Com. Adv. has received a copy Of
the A ppeal 70 the Humanity and Benev.
olence of the Christian Public" issued
from the Methodist Episcopal Mission
Office al Monrovia on the arrival Of the
SLAYER Pons, captured by the u. S. sIoop
of war Yorktown, from which we obtain
a few additional facts and details with res
gard TO this affair. The appeal states
that majority of the slaves were boys
from 10 20 years Of age, OF girls there
were onIy AZ. Their delight on landing
was indescribabe One hundred were ta-
ken charge of by the NJ. Z. Mission and
about 200 more were distributed among
responsible persons in the colony.
A letter from one of the Missionaries
Mr. Hoyt, describing the scene when he
went on board the SLAYER with CIV. Rob

DESTRUCTION OF BRIDGEs. Two
bridges 10 this town and three in Bridge
water, across Queechee River were car
ried away on the l4!h inst. There was
no ffeshet, and The rise of water, where
the current was unobstructeG was, by no
means, extraordinary. but the snow was
deep and as The river began to clear itself,
the floating ice obslructed and formed
dams across the stream, and when the
dams broke away, the water rushed on
ward with great violence and made a clean
sweep of whatever was in its way. In
several places, the low lands, along the
margin Of the river, exhibits the effects of
this process of breaking up,-unprece-
dented, we believe in the Queechee river.
The most fantastic performance took place
in the vicinity of Daniels machine shop
which, though Standing high and dry a.
bove the river, in ordinary times, was on
this occasion quite afloat, the water stand
ing above The lathes on the frs. floor
The river became INSTRUCTED at the head
of the factory pond, and the current turned
with it acres of floating ice upon the mead
ow and came driving up stream with great
force and velocity. The rise Of the wa
ter was about twenty feet ard covered The
! whole of The lower fiat with enormous
piles of ice. The invasion of the water
was wonderfully sudden, yet we have The
consolation of knowing that no lives were
lost, although from the violence of the
river and the fall of bridges, many were
in danger. The bridge near the Courl
House was lhronged with people but a
few moments before it fell.-Vt Mercurg

FREsHETs. The following, from the
Traveller, describes the effects of The food
al Haverhil
HAvERHILL, March Is, 1916.
Our usually quiet village is in the great,
est CONSERVATION imaginable, on account
of the sudden and Unprecedented rise of
the Merrimac. About half past 7 o'clock
this evening the ice started and moved for
some time quite freely; it then choked up
at The island below, when the water above
began to rise rapidly. While [ write, all
the cellars on the river side of Water and
Merrimac SITS, for the distance of nearly
mile, are completely filled, and the bases
ment stories Of many stores, and the kitch
ems of many dwelling houses, are entirely
fooled, destroying much property.
One man saved his children, who were
quietly asleep, only by wading through
water up 10 his waist, then taking them
10 chamber, thence through window,
and so upon The roof of adjoining build
ing, escaped. Some families have been
driven from their parlors, without having
lme lc take single article of furniture.
Men are a, this moment padding from
door 10 door in boa's, or on pieces OF ice,
trying TO secure floating properly or trans
p0r: females from The food.
The water is now feet higher than in
the great food of 1918. Every body is
out. Lanterns, overshoes, arks, life pre-
: servers, boats and Bangor Boats, are in
great demand.
ii o'clock, P. M We are still here.
: The ice dam below has just given away,
, to the great relief o. the accumulated wa
ters and the affrighled people hereabouts
For lew minutes our two bridges were
in extreme danger. but all that is now past
and we breathe free " again.

TINE subscribers acknowledge their thanks, to
Il their numerous friends, for the liberal pa.
tronsge in which they have been so highly favored
since their association in business, and beg con-
tinuance Of their favors.
We have received by late arrivals, last fall, a
large and complete assortment Of STAPLE
GOODS, all Of which were purchased early in
the fall, in the Atlantic Cities, at the lowest
possible cash prices; and we can say to friends
and the public, th't we have on hand the largest
and best selected stock of Goods that can be found
west of St. Louis, and we are determined to SELL
for cash in hand, 10 per cent. cheaper than any
house west of st. Louis. Our motto is, "quick
sales and small profits" The fact Of our selling
lower than other houses can SELL is, we have no
house rent to pay; no clerks to employ no corpor.
alton tax to pay, and other expenses are about one
half what they are generally in towns which are
incorporated.
All who are disposed to doubt the fact of ctr
selling 10 per cent. lower than other houses can
sell, will please give us call and examine our
extensive stock before purchasing elsewhere.
