A SORROWFUL CASUALTY. s.
an Incident Of the Great Flood in Iowu.
A Family of Seven Persons Drowned.
From the Lansing fIowa, Joprna,

From the Lansing (Iowa) Journal.
The floods in this part of Iowa, in vol.
ume, strength and destructiveness, which
lately visited us, have never had parallel
In the memory of any one.
The rapid descent of the river in places
near the Mississippi, into which the Iowa
river empties, affords many valuable wa
ter powers, as well as do the smaller tribu-
taries of the latter stream. On one OF
these, Bear creek, near the Iowa, is a mill.
or rather was. and near by, on ground a
trifie more elevated, but above all previous
high water marks, stood a DWELLING

lst inst, the sky was overcast with black
and threatening clouds, and flashes of
lightning darted in every direction around
the horizon, and at nine or ten o'clock the
flood gates of heaven were rent asunder,
apparently by the fierce artillery which
roared incessantly on every hand, and the
water descended in torrents. The entire
family perished in that flood under cir
cumstances of the most heart rending ma
ture. AS no one of the seven souls lived
to tell the horrid tale of their death, AL
most all we know is from conjecture. The
family had retired. The rushings of the
water and terrible noise of the thunder
probably awakened them in time to find
the mill battered into fragments by the
winds, floating ice, and the floods meeting
above and leaping in tremendous force
Mr.. Mclaughlin, supposing the valley
would soon be submerged, including the
house, in his shirt and pants and i'm his
naked feet, ran to the stable. harnessed his
horses, AMI hastily putting his family-all
in their night dresses-in the wagon, start
ed by the road to higher ground. Between
his dwelling and the bluff was a depres-
sion of the ground. He probably reached
this. when the current swept the horses,
wagon and the precious load of human
lives into the surging flood, among float
ing trees and cakes of ice, leaping and
dashing towards the river, and there,
amidst the merciless storm, terrified, and
bruised, and bleeding, the thunder crash
ing in merciless peals overhead, the sky,
now glare of dazzling brightness, and
again a bank OF pitchy gloom, these seven
souls were freed from the agonies of
death which embodies the whole meaning
Of the word "terrible.'
The following are the names of the un-
fortunates: John Mclaughlin, sr., aged
40 years; Mrs. Mclaughlin aged SO years;
John, Jr, aged l3 years; Sarah, aged III;

A Strange Story---A Singular Re
Union.

In 1s47, a young physician, who hadjust
graduated at the Missouri State Universi-
ty, and returned to his home in Illinois to
practice his profession, led to the altar
lady who had won his love. The young
with that professional ardor
which burns so brightly in the heart of all
students, had on his return home procur-
red subject or cadever, for dissection,
by desecrating the village graveyard. BY
some means this fact became known and
warrant was issued for his arrest and
placed in the hands of a officer to serve,
which he did in few moments after the
marriage ceremony had been performed.
The crime being felony, the bridegom's
position may readily be imagined to have
been extremely unenviable, and the pros
poets of prison cell being anything but
agreeable, he determined to make his es-
cape.
The officer having granted him the priv
ilege of saying few words in private to
his bride, he retired with her to room,
bade her farewell jumped from the win
dow and escaped. He was pursued for
many days, but finally managed TO elude
his pursuers, and..settled in Missouri, A
year later he wandered into New Next
co, and from thence, in the course of few
years, found his way to California. N-
ring his wanderings he had failed to cor
respond with his wife, and she, believing
him dead, married again. After fine he
learned this fact, but determined to re-
main dead to her, and it was not until q
few months ego he altered his
up paper published in one Of the Western
cities, he read an account of the death OF
the husband of his wife, aud knowing her
to be free, he wrote to her, telling her that
he still lived and cherished her memory as
green as when he kissed her lips in part
ing nineen years ago. He told her that he
was still free, and asked her to come and
enjoy with him the. fortune he had accu.
mulatef.
The wife widow received the letter, and
while she read, the early love returned
and she determined to join him. Dispos-
tug of her property, she, with daughter
twelve years of age, took passage for Cali
fornia, where they arrived on Thursday
last, and were met on the wharf by the old
husband. who conducted them to the Cos.
mopolitan hotel, where they remained till
a license was procured, and minister re-
married the parties, after which they pro
ceeded to the house that had been prepar
ed for them, and where they, on Thursday
evening, entertained quite humber o
friends. Truly, the incidents Of real lif
are more startling and romantic than thu
/. widest fAncies of the romancer.-Sa,
