Great Flood in Albany.
. 900 900 DOLLARS OF PROPERTY Drs1norEp

4 tremendous food occurred in Albany
on the night Of Feb. s, causing damage 10
the amount !. is estimated Cf $4,000. OOO.-
The flood was caused by the breaking up
of the ice in the Hudson, and lamning up
Of the liver below the city, and thus flood
inc the city.
The water rose so rapidly iha, oil those
working On The docks and piers were COM
PEELED to make rapid retreat. The wafer
in the river continued rising until O'clock
Monday morning.
When the great flood commenced j, was
about . o'clock in tho morning, and the
water rose six inches in five minutes. Per-
sons who had retired to bed, thinking Them.
selves safe, were aroused by horsemen, who
rode through the water, knocking at the
doors Of houses, 10 arouse the sleepeIs 10 Il
sense of their danger. The willes, coniu-
sion prevailed, the people in The lower paris
Of the city having barely time 10 escape
with 'beirliVes.
A largo Iumbcr Of cattle, stabbed in the
dis,illeries, were drowned. their belowings
and cries adding excitement 10 the scene.
A large part Of tho city was completely
submerged, and so rapid was the rise Of the
water iha, many families were taken by
boats from the second stories OF their houses.
Rumors prevail oil lives being lost, and
! they are probably correct, as par; Of Green
bush is submerged; but at presen, We can
only learn reliably Of two men being drown
ed, orc or whom was intoxicated and lying
On pier.
Twelve canal boats, three barges, and
steam tugs Il. I. Grant and II. NJ. Down,
were sunk.
The canal line warehouses on the piers
are stove ia, the food making breach
through Them. .......
Three hundred and sixty heal of cattle
were drowned a, Eas, Albany.
The amount Of damage it has done, is
still impossible 10 conjecture. Days mus,
pass before correct estimates can be made.

The New York Herald gives the following
description of this man, whose tragic death
has caused such an intense excitement in
that city -
"The testimony OF the DENTS. and per-
sons who knew Harvey Burdell, is. thar he
was a mercCnary, selfish man, with strong
passions he was easily excited, but was not
man very likely to attack another. He
quarrclcd with every one with whom he
came in contact lie quarrclcd with all his
relatives, and had lawsuits with most oil
them. at the time of his death, those OF
thrm living in the city were not on speaking
trims with him. Honesty was by no means
q characteristic Of his dealings, aud his rep
utation among good men was very bad. lie
was very pCnurOus. He was Il very liccn-
tious man, and had great many difficulties
in consequence OF IL; his name Is found ON
the books at the TOmbs, in the law courts,
and has been known 20 the head Of the pO-
lice for many years. While living IN Cham
bcrS Street, he was sued by disreputlb.C
woman for non-paymcnt OF money alleged
% be due 70 her.
In 1885. or thercabOnt, Harvey Burdell
was engaged TO be married 10 respectable
Young lady, but her father lercuptorily re-
fused 10 permit the marriage; at which
Burdcll got angry, struck the father and
gave him black eye. subsequently he was
engaged to be married 10 another young
lady, an adopted daughter of a. worthy gen
tlcman; the day and hour was set ior the
wedding, the wedding party assembled,
when DIR. Harvey Burdell entered the room
Of the old man and told him that before he
married the Girl he wanted check for S2O,-
900. The old gentleman told him that II he
was marrying his daughter for her money,
lac should have neither; ~ the wedding did
not take place. -.-..
Subsequently the lady married the person
who was % Do groomsman on the iormer &C
casion. He received the check for 100000.
The check on the previous occasion was
made out for Burdsll, aud would have been
given him Immediately after the marriage
was performed and when he heard about
it he is sard to have become greatly excited,
and declared that he would never got mar
ried.
DIR. Burdcll had very curious servant
girl, called Biddy, who was with him five
years at 500 broadway, and two years at 81
Bond street, during the whole of which time
he never furnished her with bed or any
thing to sleep upon. lie gave her small
weekly salary, upon which she supported
hcrsell, buying her food at the groceries
The Girl could speak four languages fluent
ly-;hc English, French, German and Span

Case Of Rev. Mr.. Kalloch.

The wathchman and Reflector, tho organ
of the Baptist denomination in Boston,
makes the following remarks upon the case
ofMr. Kalloch;
.It is dificult to decide upon what, on
tho whole, is the wiser course in the prcmis-

Oh In ,ts closing recommendation as well as
otherwise, without dissent. That recon-
mendation expressed the prevalent feeling
Mt the time. Personally, our leaning from
the first has been to make the subject one OF
appeal to Caesar. That feeling has ripned
into a conviction, in view Of the cifrontery
of the accusing party and tho demands Of
the public, and Of the case itself. We say
hi, without abating whit our deep sense
of Mr.. Kalloch's innocence. All has been
done to injure him that can be done. Nal

& Folsom's Oil Cloth Carpet Mandatory

Of making oil cloth carpctins. Tho busi-

mandatory near Kings Corner. Their
buildings were erected las. scason-thc main
building being about hundred feet in
length and three stories high, and q some-
what smaller building adjoining it. Hero
we were shown tho various processes by
which coarse tow cloth is made into elegant
carpcting. At one place, a horse was turn.
ing the mill which grlnds and mixes tho
paint; at another the cloth was being sized
and dried, preparatory to receiving the thick
stuifng Of paint or composition which makes
the ground work for ...c finishing colos;
then !, goes to to drying LOFT; thence to
the printers. who give i. the finishing oolors::;
thence again to the drying loft, and lastly
il receives coat Of yarni,h. Tho most Of
the manual labor in the process Is required
IN printing. This is done by means Of
stamps foot and half square, as many
STAMPS being used upon the samc surface rs
there are different colors, the face Of each
successive stamp being blank IN the place
printed by tho one previously used. These
stamps are Dipped into tho coloring matter
as printer touches his types to
the ink, then laid upon the cloth and struck
with hammer. Some fifty yards day
ARE printed by ono workman, we are told.
Large quantities Of paints, oils, spirits tur-
pentinc, &C., arc used in this manufacture,
and large rooms and hot fires are necessary
in thu drying process. At present romc 80
Or 40 men are employed at this manufaciory,
and the works are to be still further extend

81 tho most durable and elegant character
among them several beautiful new pat
