large cities; and many CT the country papers
that We receive, are not only we'll filled, but
elegantly got mp, printed on excellent paper
and clear type, and in all respects worthy of
commentator.
"Your country editor is generally an
earnest man. He is hard worker and a
vigorous thinker. He has often to contend
with difficulties and overcome obstacles the
mere thought of which would crush the soul
of the city fopling. He has no dozen OF
twenty assistants to make selections, read
and prime correspondence, review books,
notice magazines, look after and correct tel
egraphic dispatches, attend public meet
ings, exhibitions, concerts and lectures, and
give reports thereof; he has no army Of COM
positors to set up column in eight minutes
errors, and no foreman to see that the paper
is made up just right. leaving him to simply
to write the leader and few selfsugges-
ting paragraphs; nor has he lightning
press to pint off his paper At the rate Of
ten thousand ~ hour, while he is sleeping
quietly at home, Or enjoying supper along
with his friends. None of these aids has the
country editor. On the contrary, in many
cases, he has only 10 write his editorials,
make his selections, whip his communica-
tons into shape, clothe the advertisements
sent him in uniforms Of photography and
grammar, set up his matter, impose the
forms, and print the paper, but, at the same
time, he may have to do the marketing for
his family: dig the potatoes for his dinner,
and hold the baby while they are being
cooked. Nor is ink, paper, or any other
printing material so easily obtained in the
middle of Texas OF Illinois, OF even in the
interior Of our own State, as in the city. By
every mail we receive halves of newspapers,
with the announcement that owing 10 the
water in the river being still low '-or some
other uncomfortable cause our paper has
not arrived, therefore we are again able to
issue only half sheet &C. Occasionally,
an exchange published on the extreme
verge Of newspaperdom, disappears alto
gether for few weeks, and when It again
makes its appearance, the editor, in his lea
ding paragraph, congrstulates our readers
On our re-appearance, and are happy to state,

pei, the publication ef the Herald will not

DESTRUCTION OF Town BY A WATER SPou7.

DESTRUCTION OF A Town BY WATER SPoUT
Some days since, we mentioned the destruction
of Daroca, in Spain, by water-spout. The
following particulars are furnished by the Eng
lish papers:
GA letter in the Madrid Tribune of September
18th gives an account of terrible and extraor-
binary catastrophe that had occurred at Daroca,
small town in Arragon, situated in rich and
FERTILE valley, Astounding in corn and wine.
From its situation in a deep hollow, completely
surrounded by mountains, this place is pecu-
liarly liable to inundation, and, as a remedy,
tunnel was cut in 1860 by Frenchman named
Pietre Bedel. This tunnel is magnificent
work, two thousand three hundred and forty
feet long, twenty-tour feet wide, and twenty
four feet high. The enterprise was patronzed
by the Pope, and assisted by aims from all
christendom. Previous to its achievement the
waters that flowed at wet seasons from two
leagues OF mountain, rushed through the streets
of the town on their way to the river. ltappears
that on the / til instant, at three in the after
noon, an immense water-spout rising from the
Lake of Gallocanta, remained for a considerable
time lowering over the shore about league
from Daroca. When it burst, the whole district
was converted into lake. The waters poured
down in the direction of the tunnel in stream
much larger, it is said, than the Elbro of Tortosa
and seen from an elevation, appeared like
moving mountains of liquid.
"The dimensions of the tunnel which has a
very decided slope, were insufficient to allow
passage to the vast mass, which then moved
past, forming spacious sea. This extended
itself towards the town, at 900 yards from which
it was arrested by the causeway, that has fire.
quently saved Daroca when menaced by perile
of similar nature, but less magnitude. Above
this causeway the waters rose, heaping them
selves upon it, says the account to the height
of three yards, and then plunging down on the
unfortunate town. The gateway, although an
unusually large one, was not large enough to
allow their entrance, and another great lake was
formed against the walls which presently began
to crumble under its pressure.
"What then occurred" says the letter, "is
an inexplicable thing. The waters fought with
and overthrow those houses whose position OPP
posed their current. They carried away the
fountain of San Pedro, and opening great
trenches and bursting open the doors of the
pocado and of the several shops, they spread
through squares and steets, inundating wine
cellars, warehouses, and the first floor Of the
houses; in some instances reaching to the very
roof, throwing down walls; and abandoning
everything, the inhabitants fed to the noun
tains, whence they looked on at the horrible
catastrophe.
