Awful Calamity!

The most terrible calamity in its
destruction of life and property that
has ever visited this community, was
occasioned by sudden and unpre-
cedented freshet in Pappoose creek,
an ordinarily Insignificant stream,
which runs about centrally through
this city.
About 10 o'clock it began to rain,
and from that time until A o'clock, the
water fell in unceasing torrents ac-
companied by fearful flashes of cleo
tricity and deafning bursts of thun-
der. The stream above named rose
with fearful rapidity to height UNI
known by white men, becoming a
broad and furious torrent, sweeping
away houses, fences, and bridges be-
fore it.
One dwelling near Eighth street
was totally destroyed, the inhabitants
barely escaping with their lives, los.
ing a great portion Of their furniture
&C.; and one horse drowned in sta.
BILE, from which it was impossible te
rescue him--another horse, however
escaped from the.sa11ao SOD

Dubuque and keOkuk Rail Road.

Our doublc-rigged contemporary, the Dn-
buque Herald, has become quite luminous, lat
terly, in advocating change of the route of the
Dubuque and keokuk railroad by the way of
Fort Des Moines. An idea SO absurdly rdicu-
lous could hardly have originated with any
other than the notiondl Editor of the Herald and
fortunately for the road, it finds no favor with
any one except here and there Mississippi
croaker, who has been always hostile to the
road ADubuque and Keokuk railroad by way
of Fort Des Moines, would be like Pttsburg
and Philadelphia road by the way of Boston.
The distance would be doubled, and SO would
the cost of building and using the road. In
reference to a grant of land, the suggestion, If
acted upon, would be still more perlicious.
Not foot of land could be obtained upon the
proposed line of the road from Fort Des Mones
to Keokuk, distance OF about 200 miles. The
obvious motive of the Herald for this new fam
gled scheme, was an anxiety to wean the peo-
pie 70 the upper Des Moines Valley, from
their cherished purposeof a direct railroad con-
ncction with Lake Michigan, by way Of Rock
Island: but our friends at "the forks" are too
sensible to be whecdled by such moonshine.

To FARMERs.-The Hartford Times

To FARMERS The Hartford Times
mentions farmer who took up a
fence after it had been standing four
teen years, and found some of the
posts nearly sound, and others rotted
off at the bottom. Looking for the
cause he discovered that the posts
which had been inverted from the
way they grew were solid, and those
which had been set as they grew were
rotted off. This is certainly an Incl
dent worthy of being noted by farm
erS.

nation by an attorney named Lord,
who did his best to perplex, browbeat
him so as to overset the testimony he
had given against his client. The
question was something relating to
machinery, and Mr.. Bufum had used
the word "philosophically" in his evil
dence. Mr.. Lord continually harped
upon this phrase, and endeayored to
make the witness ridiculous in the
eyes of the jury. AT last he inquired:
spray Mr.. Witness, as you seem to
be great philosopher, can you tell
me what the consequences would be
if the air should be exhausted from a
hogshead?" Eyes sir' replied Mr..
Buffum, "the head would fall in
"Indeed, sir" pursued the counsel;
"and can you tell me philosophically,
why the head should fall in first?"-
I"Yes sir" returned Mr.. Buffium, "it
is because hogsheads are like some
lawyers their heads are their Ueakest

acknowledged the victory of the wit
ness overthe counsel; and if the learn
ed gentleman was not known thence
