tsy Icuft have rapidly dissolved thereby flooding
every tributary {, the Hudson. Last night we wero
visited by slight thunder shower, ana during the
night considerable quantity OF riu fell, thus ma
terally increasing the food. During the night the
river rose fully eight inches and during the morning
II bas continued IT, ise at the rate OF two Inches an
hour. The ipundatlon is extending and spreading
over cgsery portion of cur city, and particularly
In the lowe. Wards. The water was this morning
within four feet Of the second ioor Of some ware
houscs the dock and should the river continue to
rise during the ensuing twentyiour hours as rapidly
70 baa for The past two the water Will reach that
point. IA yet cut little damage has been done by
the food beyond the tearing ny OF the plank walks
Oh The docz aud The Usual destruction to property by
nuudations.
II il evident that the great bulk Of the water has
come from the Mohawk, for the lower BASIN Is
covered with broom corn. which Is pressing heavily
against the Hamilton street bridge. Al Is packed IN

An EXPERIENCE IN THE CARs.-Mr. S.
ard Mr.. A. meet in the cars. They are
strangers to each other. Mr.. s. is red
faced portly young man, richly dressed
wears about his person, in his looks and
general demeanor clear evidence of being
/" fast youth" He is accompanied by two
handsome, intelligent young lalies. They
are superbly dressed in the hight of fash.
ion. All three feel and show their conse.
quence. Mr.. s. has turned bis seat and
sits facing the ladies. He has placed their
reticuIes, muffs, &C., into the seat beside
him. The three are thus occupying four
seats, while several are standing for want
of room to sit. A costly travelling blanket
is placed before Mr.. S. and the ladies for q
table. One of the beauties takes out pack
of cards and the three fall to playing with
will, regardless of the feelings or eonven-
fence of their fellow travellers. Mr.. A. is
a young minister, plainly dressed, and looks
careworn and weary. For want of seat
he stands in the aisle of the car and looks,
ever and anon, at the spare seat filed with
reticnles and muffs. The game Of cards
goes on and the minister is left 10 stand.--
Soon the conductor comes along, eazes a
moment at the game and the busy players,
takes their tickets and turns 10 Mr.A.fcr his.
Mr.. A. says: Conductor, do you not think
had better have that seat?" pointing to
the seat beside Mr.. 5. "lf you wish it,
said The conductor with a smile as he pass
ed on. Mr.. A. at once with cool deter
mination started to take possession, saying
TO Mr. s. in kind but decided tone, The
conductor thinks can have this seat The
looks Of the disturbed three show their in
dignation. With sharp, quick voice, Mr.
S. requested the minister to stop moment.
The seat was cleared, the back reversed,
and Mr.. \. was moiioned into the seat
next the window. Mr.. S. sat down beside
him, turning his back 10 show bis contempt.
Bellows Falls times. [volume] (Bellows Falls, Vt.) 1856-1965, 1862-03-14

The countenances Of the lookerS-on showed
that they approved the minister's course
The best part Of il is yet to be told. Som.
at one ofthe stations, q heshy, po o)rely drass-
ed. and coarse Irish maiden entered the
cars, aud beg IN to look for seat. The
minister, with merry twinkle in his eye,
which those in the car well understood, rose
and offered her his seat. Mr.. s. did not
move to permit the change in his not over
agreeable seatmatas. lie evidently did not
care for the exchange. lie lid not relish
an Irishwoman on the seat with him while
his ladies sat behind him. In tone OF
calm decision the minister requested Mr.. :.
to arise and allow the change. He seemed
to feel that prudence was the better part OF
valor He arose, the minister passed out,
and Bridget passed in and seated herself
with grea, dignity and composure. Mr.. S.
squeezed himself down beside his portly
companion, doubtless feeling that she was
better protected by hoops than he was with
brass. The minister took his old stand and
gazed on the crest fallen trio and the calm
self-composure of Miss. Bridget.
