The Cedar Valley.

The Dubuque Express g. Herald in
an article reviewing the character
and resources of the large extent of
country tributary to the Dubuque and
Pacific Railroad, alludes to the Cedar
River as being next to the Des
Moines, the largest river in Iowa, and
forming in its progress from the south
ern part of Minnesota broad and
lovely valley, not excelled in beauty
and fertility in the western country.
The river has numerous branches, all
of which are rapid and exhibit almost
a succession of mill sites from source
to mouth.
1.-THE valley of the Cedar must be
come the greatest manufacturing re-
gion in the State, and of this intcres,
Cedar Falls and Waterloo will become
the centers, although Cedar Rapids
will divide largely the honor with
them, while Waverly and St. Charles
City, on the north, will be but slightly
behind. We believe it will be a safe
calculation to say that in few years
900 mills and factories will be III
operation in this magnificent valley,
which in our eyes bears the palm of
beauty over any portion Of the Great
West we have yet seem

Flood on the Connecticut River.

The Springfield Mass Republican
brings a report of the extent and
damage of the great food in the Con
necticut River, which is pronounced
the largest ever known in the valley
1901, 1913 and ls45. At Springfield
the water stood at 2OI feet above low
water mark. The West Springfield
and Agawam meadows were com.
pletely flooded, and the water in the
road was so deep that passage was
impossible Trains Oh the Connecti-
cut River Railroad cease to run for
several days. In Hartford the flood
was 26 feet above low water mark,
covering the thickly settled portions
of the city between Front street and
the river Col. Colts dyke was scri
ously injured, but it preserved his
great factory from destruction. The
bridges at Charleston and Walpolc,
n. H., were carried away, and the
railroad bridge at Bellows Falls, VT,
was moved several feet from it's place.
Considerable damage was done at
Northampton and Holyoke, but the IA
nous dam at the latter place was
uninjured.

Professor Hitchcock and the Bible.

Rev. Prof. Hitchcock has been en-
gagged in course Of lectures in Brook
Ign, on the history Of the Bible. His
lectures have been assailed as tend
ing to nfidclity. To this Prof. Hitch
cock has replied in an elaborate artl-
Gle in which he avows his opinion to
be that the Books of Moses, though
inspired, were made up of oral and
written traditions handed down from
the earlier times, and incorporated in
to the Mosaic record by the command
of the Lord that the world as Gre
alton was called into being ages be.

six days are expanded into immense
periods, and do not mean the days OF
our reckoning ; that the account OF
the fall, the apple, and the devil, is
fictioned moral and symbolic repre-.
sentation rather than a literal one; that
the dcluge was not universal, but re
stricted, and the term all " applied t.
it does not necessarily include all por
tons of the globe. The deluge wa

universal. 1t was as wide as the hu

; cock fortifies his opinions by citation

who have lived.
