Pigeon Creek rose ta0elve feet between 9
o'clock nd daylight rise utterly unprece-
denied in that stream. Mr.. Rudd had raft
Of about 100 saw logs at his mill, which
broke away. and carried down all RATS below
1t. He lost these logs. Messrs. Sutter &
Owings lost about 200 logs. Mr.. Olmstead
lost about so logs. Mr.. Cooley was the
the heaviest loser. He lost altogether about
400 logs, while Mr.. Reitz, whom we noticed
yesterday as heavy loser, only lost about 25
logs. These logs were swept into the Ohio
by an irresistible current. Many of the logs
were caught below, but the greet majority
were lost. These logs are worth about 50
each, and their loss will entail serious in
convenience on their owners.

Scarcity OF CATTLE IN CANADA.-The
Canada West papers soy that there is a
great want of cattle in Canada; that the
farmers are beginning to find out that wheat
growing, to the neglect Of stock, is not the
most profitable kind of farming; and that it
has become necessary to import bullocks
from this side of the line. This may &C.
count in some measure for our recent high
prices, that SO large and SO rich district OF
country as Canada West does not raise stock
enough for its own use. The Gait Reporter
says:
We seldom see the cars arrive at our rail-
way station, without one of them being f lied
with imported cattle. There
is, how ever, we are glad to say, considerable
caution observed this year, in the slaughter
of calves and lambs, lBrge stock of which
will be raised this simmer.

Although it is very fond of the little girl,

The Mirror says:
The little girl was asked if she was not

She said she was terribly frightened; and
when asked why she did not run; she said
she tried 10 but could not; she also tried to
scream for her mother, but could not sbeak

liked sweet things best, and that she stole
three cakes of maple sugar that her mother
had laid away, and sweet gingerbread when
ever she could, TO give them. The big snake
would try to drive the small one away from
her when fed, and she cuffed him several
times, and he returned the compliment by
taking her fingers into his mouth several
times, without doing much harm. Conse-

she does the other one, though he is generally
fond of her.

full and substantial character, that have vege-
Sated dufiag this year of plenty, no crop has
been more universal, and exuberant in It's
growth that political codes and Platforms
Usually one or two, ingeniously contrlVed

In this age of hot beds and steam, every

Politicians and philosophers may talk and
reason as they please, about their firm and
undertaking devotion to the principles of
Jefferson and Jackson, Of Webster and Clay,
yet there is nothing more evident than that
the prestige of their patriotism has been
buried with them, and forgotten by an un-
grateful and needless succession of sectional
party aspirants. The great conservative
and national measures which they originated
and nurtured to an almost gigantic growth,
are now permitted to decay and sacriligi-
cusly pulled down like :heir homely family
Mansions of the earth. The turmoil and
strife incident to a successful political
career, have become actually oathsome to the
man of quiet worth and honest merit, and in
fact we are living exclusively under the rule
of fanatics and demagogues.
In looking over the multitude of platforms
and codes of principles, by which the various
sections and factions political, now profess to
be governed, the honest, well-wisher of his
country's bests interests and the success and
perpetuity of its institutions, must tremble
for the result.

loving citizen, to begin to look about him and
to act-earnestly and zealously to roll back
this mischievous tide of fanaticism that is
swelling and breaking like a tornado over
the country. Can any one look supinely on
and witness thisldisgusting torrent spread its
desolatien further, without raising his voice
and bis arm to arrest it's progress! Who can
for moment believe that it has reached the
zenith of its power for evil, while it has well
nigh already rent the Union in fragments!
The time has arrived to meet this fanatic.

party against forming alliances with any o

MosT DISTRESSING OcCURRENcE.-We are
this morning called upon to discharge a most
painful duty, in announcing the occurrence
of calamity, than which one more distress
ing has not for long time afflicted this COM
munity, and which has resultel fatally to
one of the most esteemed and valuable citi-
znns of Lynchburg, Va, Mr. james M. Boyd.
The particulars. as we learn them, are these.
Yesterday morning, between the hours of
one and two O'Clock gas cha ndelier in the
hall of his residence became detached from
its fastenings and fell, the noise occasioned
by which aroused some of bis family, and
after considerable delay Mr.. Boyd went down
to ascertain the cause Of alarm. On finding
the chandelier down, be replaced it, ands TO
determine whether it was properly adjusted

him to apply it to the burner. In the mean
time, the gas had escaped to such an extent
that as soon as the light was raised so as to
come in contact with the stratum, the pas
ignited, entirely enveloping Mr.. B. in the
fame, and before assistance could DO render
ed, be was burnt in a most shocking man.

Mr.. Boyd died about one o'clock yester.
day. More than TO make this melancholy
announcement, we have not time now to
say.

Damage by the Rains.

There will be no doubt considerable dam
age sustained by farmers throughout the in
terror of the State, by the excessive and con-
tinued rains and warm we ather. In this inn
mediate vicinity, the wheat crop was mostly
secured before the wet weather set in, but
all that has been caught in the field, will be
greatly injured. 1t is already growing" to
avery great extent, and should the weather
continue wet and hot another week. the oat
crop Will be immensely injured. This is the
only reverse that our crops have met with,
and it is to be hoped that the damape likely
TO accrue is overrated.

SNAKE SIMULTANEOUSLY CASE OF
bout two weeks since, a
little girl, near six years of age, named
Colista Hill, Gilmanton Centre, was search
ing for berries in the field, when her atten-
ton was arrested by peculiar singing noise,
and on looking up, she perceived two large
black snakes, one of which was in an erect
attitude and gazing fxed'y upon her, accom-
panying its vibratory motions by, as she says,
ga most beautiful singing" She first at
tempted to run, but found herself utterly in
capable of so doing. She then looked at the
snake until she became so pleased with it,,
that she took ii into ner lap, and held it until
she thought it asleep. and then fed to the
house. For number of days she visited the
snake, unknown to her parents, who finally
discovered her feeding it from her hands
continued feeding it regularly every day, be-
coming more and more attached TO it, until
it would wind itself about her arms and neck,
and even take food from her mouth. Final
ly, she was prevailed upon TO place it in a
box on condition it should not be hurt, and
in that it is still kept, except when being
fed. Hundreds in the vicinity have been TO
see it, and it is the opinion of the medical
men who have seen her, that she is COM
pletely fascinated, and that the death of the
reptile would prove fatal to her. Her parents
have had many tempting offers to permit her
to be taken about and exhibited with the
snake, but, though they are poor, they have
sense enough to refuse all such offers. The
snake is over four feet long.
We have The above from a gentleman vho
has visited the girl and received the facts

The State Bank,

The rottenness of the new State Bank
has shown itself already, in opening the
books at the different points for subscription.
The "grab game'' was universal thing all
over the State-irresponslble and in many
instances persons living out of the bank
districts, taking all the stock! For instance
Tom Bowling took in the Terre Haute
Bank $4,000! P. NJ. Kent, post ma ster at
New Albany, took $4,000 in the Bank at
Brookvile! Jesse Bright & Co., took all the
stock at Rushville! Some Evansville chap
took all the stock at Vincennes, while the
stock at Evansville was taken by ex-Auditor
Dunn! Things were done much the same
way throughout the State. There was no
fairness about it-all corruption, bargains
and utter disregard of the law. We warn
the people from having anything to do with
the paper of this bank when it makes its ap-
pearance. If yon do, you may have to take
some of Tom Dowling's old clothes at three
times their value, at which he has right
under the law to put in as sacurity
Green Castle Ban.
Our people cannot be too cautious in med
ding with this affair, although the B amer is
not strictly correct as regards the taking of
stock in Evansville. No books were opened
here, consequently no stock has been taken
according to the rules of the game. II ex-
Auditor Dunn has taken all the stock be-
longing to this locality, he has done it else
where than here, and at some other time
than the one specified for taking the afore.
said stock. We presume that the public,
having just escaped the blight of one of the
most arrant financial humbugs that ever in
tested the State, chiefly through the agency
of Ex-Auditor Dunn, will be slow in embra
cling another at his hands, and we are of the
opinion that they will be hard to gull in any
way, in the creation of the new bank.

moor.neaa and Clark.

These gentlemen met each other at Lancas-
ter KY. one day last week, and were greeted
by very large turnout including several
hundred ladies'. MFR. Moorehead lead of in
chuste and powerful speech, fully and clearly
vindicating the merits and principles of the
American Order, as the last and only chance
and basis upon which national party could
be established. He received the most en-
thusiastic applause from all present, and was
complimented upon retiring from the stand
with numerous boquets of flowers from the
ladies'.
Mr.. Clark arose to reply and was warmly
greeted upon the stand by the audience, all
of whom were apparently expecting highly
polemical entertainment. In Mr.. c g part
however they were doomed to disappoint-
ment, Mr.. Clark had mistaken his audience
notwithstanding his own political friends
were there in large numbers. His speech
soon waxed coarse and vulgar, and while in
the midst of one of his delicate anecdotes,
very i'll suited to the lady portion OF his hear
ers he was arrested by shower of Kisses
which he vainly attempted to talk down. He
was finally compelled to change his tone,
but his enthusiasm was all gone. He fn-
ished his first speech and sat down, the
audience cheering generally. Mr.. Moorehead
replied for a half hour but did not allude to
Mr.. Clark's vulgarity at all, but rose upon
his highest tone ofrefnement, which seemed
like heapiug Goals of FIRE upon the head OF
his antagonist. Mr.. Clark with very few
words in reply to Mr.. Moorehead, waived
the opportunity to use his time in fall. The
effect upon the audience was overwhelming

physicians in different parts of Italy. The
coincidence is noteworthy. DR.. Rossi, of
Florence, was preparing a memoir, the fruit
of much study and experie nee, to show that
the malady results from some electro-mag-
netic or animal-electric disturbance, for
which galvanism was the proper remedy,
when he was informed that DR.. Concata, of
Paduah, had conceived and demonstrated the
theory within few days in the restoration
of four desperate cholera patients by means
of the electromagnetic current, and that he
was prep airing a report, under the direction
of the municipal authorities, for publication
The simultaneousness of the conception is
only another indication of The wide diffusion
