THE RECENT STORM AND FLOoD.

During the past week there hare been hea-

rife storm Of all. X began early in the
morning. The rain fell in torrents, accOEr =

sheds, and in some instances unroofng hOu-

The STERN was Immediately followed by the
heavy freshets and foods. Rivers and creeks
burst their usual boundaries, submerged the
adjoining fields, and swept away bridges, mill-
dams, and whatever opposed their resistless
course. Canal embanknents and railroad
culyerts shared in the common ruin, leading
again to new disasters. Mail communication
was completely cut off yesterday in that sec
ton, and is even yet so much interrupted that
the full extent of damage done cannot be as
certained

CEREDo CREscENT.-We have received
two numbers of a new paper published at
Ceredo, Wayne CO., Virginia, BY W. Boyd
Wilson, formerly of this place 1t is of
large size, well printed, and ably edited.
Ceredo is located on the Ohio river, below
Parkersburg, and is the point selected by
Thayer's Land Company for inducing north-
ern emigration to Virginia instead of the
west. Our opinion always has been that
Virginia presents extraordinary induce
ments for those desiring new homes, the
land being equally productive with the
west, and the climate far more salubrious.
The only drawback thus far has been the
absurd sensitiveness of the native popula-
ton IN setting down the "freedom of speech"
OF northern men as abolitionism, when not
one in a hundred would disturb the pecu-
liar institution beyond "opinion." even if
they had the opportunity In the region
alluded to, lands can be bought at from a
nominal price to IS per acre. Should We
ever pull up stakes at all, our course would
probably be towards Ceredo or some other
inviting point in the Old Dominion.

was begun early in May and lasted till t5e
goth of SeptemIer, when, after a figbt a
six days, the British gained complete pos.
session of the whole city. The loss of the
British in the final attack, does not appear
to have been very heavy, and as it is stated
that the King of Delhi and great numbers
OF the rebels escaped, it is presumed that
their garrison also did not suffer to any
very great extent. But no Quarter" to

KANsAs.-Advices from Kansas, receiv-
ed by telegraph from ST. Louis, state that
the Constitutional Convention adjourned on
the 9TH inst, having provided that the
"slavery section" only of the Constitution
shall be submitted to the people. A pro-
vlslonai State government, with Gen. Cal
houn as Governor, was formed to 20 into
operation Immediately, an enterprise that
copies too closely after the Topeka scheme
of the Free State men to receive the ap-
proval of those who denounced that effort
as reasonable. Gov Walker has been in
Voked to call an extra session of the re-
Gently elected Legislature to meet the
emergency.

THE GAZETTE AND ITs FUTURE.

The last No. completed the eleventh year
since We became editor aud proprietor OF
the Gazette, during which time, with the
exception of 4th of July and Christmas
weeks, (when we do not profess to publish
q paper it has appeared regularly every
week. This, as our readers know, is a long
time for any one to be connected with a
paper here, but unless some unforeseen cir
cumstance occurs, and life and health re-
main, we may continue its publication until
another decade rolls round Although of
a partizan character, our paper has steadily
increased in circulation both among politi-
cal friends and opponents, and secured a
hist of steadfast patrons, who, although not
always agreeing with its editor, yield him
the right of expressing his opinions ON all
subjects without flying into passion at his
course. They do this, we think, because
they know that we are in reality " indepen-
dent" of party trammels, of factions, and
the right of thinking, acting, and speaking
for ourselves-and that gross wrong will
be as readily opposed in friend as in foe
This course We have found to be the true
one in publishing paper, and until we see
good reason for changing it, we shall con-
tinue in it.
In pecuniary point, during the past
few years, we have not much to boast Of
With articles of general household use at
almost double price, and no increase in our
rates, any one can cypher out that the diff
ference was taken altogether from the profits
of the establishment At this we do not
complain, being content to take the world
as it Is; and so long as our patrons viii con-
tinue to furnish US with enough to pay
all expenses, economically incurred, and
thus keep us out Of debt, we shall not.

MoLAssEs FROM CHINESE SUGAR CANE
We have had samples Of molasses from
John r. Weekes, Esq, from the Farmers
High School, and one or two Others, but
by far the best article we have yet seen was
manufactured by Richard Morrison, pear
Newton Hamilton. The syrup is almost
transparent, and in taste approaches the
best southern syrups. These are all first
experiments, but are ample evidence that
every farmer in our county can, with lit
tie effort at learning the mode Of boiling,
manufacture an abundant supply Of molas-
ses for his own use, if not for sale An

GAME AS Is GAME.-The following ac-
count of hunters doings in Armagh
township, we copy from the Democrat, as
furnished by correspondent at Milroy
About the first of September last, John
Treaster, of Armagh township, commenced
to trap at deer lick, not far from his res
idence, and had caught some in this way,
but he soon discovered that he had a part
ner In the business of taking them from
the trap, which, on strict observation he
discovered TO be panther, which relieved
him of two or three of his deer. without
his consent He, however, continued his
trapping operation, the result of which was.
the capture of six deer, two bear, and final
ly, on the 10th inst, the capture of his
partnership. Mr.. Treaster fred three
shots into the panther before he became
docile, although fast in the trap. The
length of the panther was nine feet, and
the weight of the entire carcass. I55
pounds.
7, S. Since the above was in type cor
respondent has also given us the above par
tieulars, with the additional intelligence
that by the signs three more panthers are
about The one caught can be seen at the
slaughter house of A. SWartzeIl in MiIroy.
The trap used by Treaster is common
wolf, weighing II pounds, and was set
about 4 miles northeast of Lockes Mills.
