FALSE ALARM.-A gentleman who resides
on Aristocracy Hill, came into our Office yes
terday morning, and informed us that he was
awakened about twelve o'clock the night before
BY noise which at the time he supposed was
oceasioned by burglars attempting to saw
hole through the side of his house, near his bed
room window. 1t being very dark, and the
rain pouring down in torrents at the time, he
concluded not to raise an alarm, but to wait
quietly until the robbers had effected an en-
trance. Accordingly, he got out of bed, took
his revolver, and shivering with cold and fear,
waited for them to make their appearance. But
they did not appear, and the noise soon ceased.
In the morning he examined carefully. and al
though there were no indications of an attempt
to cut a hole through the side Of the house, the
burglars tracks were plain to be seen in the
mud, which was about a foot deep, near the
window. The gentleman called on us again
this morning, to suppress the item-the mys-
terry having been explained in this mornings
Transcript. The alarm was occasioned by an
attempt on the part of some young gallants in
town, to serealde young lady, who, they sup
posed, was stopping at his house, but who hap
pened to be out of town at the time.

hAIN.-The rain has been falling steadily
sinee yesteaday noon, and part of the time has
come down in torrents. The snow that fell in
Tue early part ofthe week has melted off at this
place. and as the weather has been quite warm,
immense quantities must have melted higher up
u the mountains. Deer creek was about as
HiSA this morning as it has been this winter,
ana from the quantity of rain that has fallen
mere Is reason to fear that the valley viii again
be overfowed.
