tendent. will most cheerfully re-
ceive any or all contributions entrust.
ed to my care, and promptly forward
the same. l do also hereby appoint
each President of each township School
Board in this county to cooperate with
me in carrying forward this noble and
patriotic work. As many, if not all
our schools will be closed before these
proceedings can be disseminated
throughout the county, l suggest the
propriety Of holding special school ex-
hibitions in all districts sufficiently
populous to make it pay, even after
the expiration of their regular school
terms and in fact consider this the
most appropriate time. The prepare
ton for the exhibitions will not then
interfere with The regular proceedings
of the schools. The speaking of dia-
logues, the reading Of compositions,
declarations, &c, interspersed with
music, either vocal or instrumental or
both, will not only be beneficial to
those who engage in them, but will at
the same time be sufficient remuner-
alton for dime from each spectator
having this particular object in view.

Religion and Health.

HENRY WARD BEEoHzR, in his Lecture
room Talks in the Independent, thinks that
health is the first step towards a healthy
religious experience. He says:
You will say, perhaps, "What, then, is
there no religion for the infirm and sick ?"
Yes; but that does not alter the fact that.
in their religious experiences, they are
more or less gloomy and Responding. It
is not always the effect of disease to pro-
duce gloom and dependency. Sometimes
it hightens the sensibilities; but, as a gem
eral thing, religious experiences are sound
er and more rational in q healthy mind
and healthy body. So say that. as the
first step, you must be healthy, if Won ex-
pect to have broad and deep and sweet
experiences. Health is Christian dutv.
l have heard persons prayine-and
praying-and praying for the presence of
God and l have thought that, if they
would eat less and work more, and spend
twice as much time in the open air, they
would not need to pray 60 much. What
they wanted was not answer to prayer, but
simple obedience to the laws Of God in ma

on Herrs Island, and carrying off of lum-
Der &C., fully $4,000. On The same
island Lyon Il Smiths oil refinery was
completely destroyed, as was also that Of
Messrs. Gertes, Smith & Co., on Vain
wright Island. On these islands, and also
on the main land near the river, all dwell
ing houses were greatly damaged, and
three light frame buildings were carried
completely away.
The Monongahela did most of its dam
age over the south Pittsburg side, where
it caused general suspension of business,
and rose into many houses ,and factories.
1t did not, however, as far as we have
heard, carry away any property Of any
considerable value. The craft on both
rivers were 90 secured, and carefully
watched constantly, that we have heard Of
no losses from among them. It was re-
ported that some boats passed over the
dam in the Monongahela at Pipetown, but
they were secured below.
The railroads have suffered greatly by
the water. On the Pennsylvania Central
Road great slide of earth upon the track
near Altoona is reported; bridge over
the Juniata River near its mouth has been
washed away, and one of its sections
badly damaged the railroad bridge at
Rockville; small culvert bridge on the
road near Bells Mills, east of Altoona,
has been washed away with a long section
of track; culvert at Upton is washed
away, and in several places minor injuries
have been suffered.
1t is reported that in one place where
passengers had to cross torrent, (Which
had swept away the track by walking
plank, a soldier was drowned, but of this
we have no confirmation. On the Pitts
burg, Fort Wayne and Chicago Railroad,
water covered the track in many places,
and drift wood interfered with the passage
of the trains, but no bridges moved or
track swept away or any other serious
damage sustained.

the GREAT FRESHET.
Particulars of the Floods in New
York and Pennsylvania.
Immense Destruction of Prop

ROCHESTER,.

From the Rochester IN. " Democrat, Extra, 10th.
The general inundation is terrible. Moth
lug like it has ever been seen in these
parts. The sudden melting of the great
quantity of snow and ice which has COW
cred the country and the streams in this
part of the State for so many weeks past,
has brought with it great calamity. The
Genesee river and its tributaries are swol-
len to an extent unprecedented within the
memory of man, and immense damage has
resulted.
1t became evident on Thursday evening
that freshet of immense proportions was
impending, but no one began to realize the
magnitude of the danger.
On Friday morning, however, it became
evident that some parts of the city would
be flooded, and peopleIn the lower part of
Front street, and the upper part of Ex-
change street, near the Genesee Valley
depot, made some slight preparations 10
meet the peril. The water rose very rap
idly, and soon it was found that the freshet
was to be much more extensive than had
been apprehended. Before noon all the
cellars on Front street were full, and
small stream was crossing the sidewalk
from the hay market. A great flood also
burst OUT into Exchange street from Childs
basin, and another turbid stream flowed
into Buffalo street from back of Barton's 3
building.
The track Of the Genesee Valley Rail-
road was submerged in the neighborhood
Of the depot, and Exchange street was
full of water for quarter of q mile. No
trains arrived at or departed from either
depot, except on the Buffalo and Niagara
Falls Roads. 1t was known also that
bridges and culverts had been carried
away both east and south of US, and that
telegraph communication between this
city and Albany was broken in consequence
of great floods. Still only few persons
were seriously alarmed.
By O'Clock in the afternoon, however.
people began to be awake. Quite q num-
Der Of business men on State and Buffalo
streets even began to think their goods
safer in proportion to their distance from
the ground floors and Easements. Much
| property was removed altogether from the
buildings in the threatened district. Be-
fore dark an actual panic had taken DOS
session Of the public, but it was too late
for many to save their goods.
In the early part Of the evening the wa
ter broke through in the rear of Barton's
buildings, and began to go through Front
street, Buffalo street, and Exchange place,
and the adjacent streets. People who
lived on the east side began to make their
way thither as fast as possible, under the
apprehension of being impounded and un.
able to go home at ALL The families Of
some who did not take that precaution.
were in cruel state of suspense durino
the night. Not few of the sbsentees.
however, failed to report until Saturday
evening.
After midnight it was impossible for ant
body to get across Main street bridge Tn,
