Unprec edented Freshet. Cheat River.

Being but partially Informed ofthe
amount of tho damage done on Cheat
River when we went to press last week
we give room this week to more mi
mute and accurate account.
II appears that the rain commenced
falling about two o'clock on Tuesday
morning of last week and continued un-
Til about o'clock A. M. when there
seemed to be wonderful commotion
in the elements--the clouds becoming
dark and dense and thrown into a tu-
multuous motion. The whole storm
seemed concentrated at one point. and
that point of concentration to move up
the Cheat River thence over to the head
waters of the North Branch, thence to
the head of the Valley River, and thence
to the place of starting on tho Cheat
River. This sublime and singular look
ing storm.head made three distinct rev.
olutions in the orbit described above
The first raise Of the Cheat River was
about seven feet in one hour. Then a
bout o'clock P. M. it commenced
raising rapidly again. when at about 10
o'clock p. Nj. it was at the unpreceden-
ted height oftwenty feet.
Trees from three to four feet in diam.
eter were torn up by the roots by the
forco ofthe rolling current. Two men
who ventured out into the boiling tide to
save a raft of logs came near being
drowned--tho raft being torn to pieces
by the tumbling and foaming waves.
Messrs. Blakely and Brothers at tho
mouth of Salt Licks, sustained heavy
damage. Amount unknown. Their
Office was carried off in which was tho
money-safe. One Of the firm fastened a
rope around his waist aud ventured in
to the office. He succeeded in getting
some 900. He was rescued by being
dragged some forty feet under the wa
ter.
The amount of damage on the whole
length Of Cheat River is not known,
but is variously estimated at from $780,
600 to 100000. The "oldost inhabi-
tants" say that about fifty years ago. a
similar freshet occurred, but was not as
high as this by four feet. Our informant
says it was the most distressing sight
ever beheld to see the lumber and hous-
es floating down tho river, thus sweep
ing away tho hard earning of many a
poor and destitute family.-Piedmont

On the gath June, at ----, Captain BENJAMIN
FERGusoN OwES in the S7th year ofhis age.
Captain Owen was first lieutenant Of volunteer
company, commanded by Captain James E. Stewart,
of Baltimore and served with great distinction in the
war with Mexico. His gallantry at Monterey is spe-
cally noticed in the reports of that engagement at
which place he was detailed by General Twiggs as
commandant of piquet guard where he kept in
check the Mexican lancers from encroaching on the
American camp
After the war Captain Owen was appointed by
General Pierce to clerkship in the Pension Office
which position he filled with great ability. But, UNI
fortunately for his official career Captain Owens con.
sdered Americans competent TO rule their own coun-
try and he, together with his mertorious command
er, p E. Stewart, we're dismissed from public EN-
ployment, for opinions sake
Upon his removal from office, such was the effect
upon him, and having no means of support his mind
seriously affected and, despairing of success in
life, he became utterly careless of worldly interest
and died under the effect of this dependency
At two o'clock, on this friday morning, at his
residence II, between Twelfth and Thirteenth
streets, of bilious dysentery the Rev j. WATKINS
