TIE FLooD AT TNDIANAPoLIs.-Of the
destructive freshet at that place, the In
dianapolis Journal remarks:
"Within the last twenty-four hours
our city has been the scene of the great
est flood that ever visited this section
since the sound of the first settlers AK
rang through the forest where now the
city stands. In the spring of 1858 &C.
Cured fReshet which carried away
bridges and trestle work, and did con-
siderable damage, but it was slight
rise compared with the deluge that now
floods our streets and dwellings. The
wretched little streamlet, which in dry
weather furnishes hardly enough water
to float duck, has assumed the size and
force of 8 river, leaving it's proper bed to
submerge all the contiguous streets, and
inundate the surrounding country. The
continuous rains for days past had
swollen POgues' Run nearly bank full,
and the very heavy fall of water during
Monday night and yesterday morning,
completed the deluge"
The Journal gives partial list of the
AoSSCS vi plopCAU W. "AlNu "CAS huLhClouS
and heavy One new brick block was
nearly demolished, the water undermin-
ing the foundations. Many of the mer-
chants suffered heavily in consequence
of their cellars being flooded. Foster,
Holloway g. Co., grocers, lost $4,000 in
this way. Wallace Bros. lost heavily in
tobacco. The inmates of many tene-
ment houses were driven from their
homes. Several women were led from
their dwellings through water waist
deep. In the outskirts Of the city mach
damage was done to private dwellings,
and surrounding buildings. Three deaths
by drowning occurred. Henry G. Cells,
foreman of the plumbing department of
Gottrell & Knights establishment, was
drowned near his place of business, while
attempting to navigate boat made of a
half hogshead. Jason Smith, engineer
for-Fred Rusch, got beyond his depth
and was drawn beneath the drift wood
and drowned. A well known citizen
named Wishmeyer, is reported to have
been drowned.

New AocEPTATIoN OF MORAL CHAR
torER.-During the brief special term
Of Court held by Judge Hall last Fri
lay, several applications were made for
naturalization papers. Among the APP
plicants was a native of "Faderland.
He took with him German friend to
prove his residence in the country. Of
his witness the Judge asked:
''Do you know the applicant, Mr..

..Yesh, I well knows him.

The Judge could scarce repress

We think it too good to keep.

CIRCUIT COURT OF BERKELEY.-Our
readers have already been appraised
hat in consequence Of the sickness of
Judge Hall, the business Of the Court
has been postponed until our regular
November term. His Honor had suf-
lieiently recovered to hold, for a few
hours, a brief special term. This was
limited to a call of the Office Judgment
Docl1et-to the filing of the Pleas and
The confirmation of judgments in I'M
contested eases.
During the same session his Honor
announced his opinion upon question
Of great practical Importance to the
people of this county and Circuit. It
s that persons who were concerned IN
the rebellion and thus disabled from
sueing by the provisions of the Act of
the 2sth Of February 1865, may new
ertheless make a bona tide assignment
ef their claim, and that the assignee
may maintain the suit III his name.
This question was argued very elabo-
rately at the May term OF our Circuit
Court, in favor of such right of assign
ment, by Mr.. Faulkner, upon a point
presented in the case of Boarman VS..
Bohda. We think this a just and
sound decision, in perfect conformity
10 the intention and spirit Of the law Of
1865, and a decision calculated to give
great relief to the business and indus
trial pursuits of the Circuit.

A SIBERIAN Observation-Disclosures invoking tn

A SIBERIAN VIsITATION.-Without invoking the
aid of travelling facilities without transcending to
the extent of one inch the limits of our daily walk,
we have in the last few days, been transported to
the latitude of Siberia, Kanskatka and the Rocky
Mountains. Cold as charity, stinging as poverty,
merciless as New England radcalism, and sharper
than the sarcasms of Wendell Phillips, have been the
basts of the last few days and nights. Hydrants,
gasometes rivers and water in vessels placed right
before the fire, have all, by rapid congelation, ac-
knowledged the supremacy of stern and pitless win
ter To freeze or not to freeze has been the question
that has occupied the attention Ofal Many, whose
business has called them out, have so deformed
themselves with extra wrappmgs as TO resemble the
squat and shapeless figure of the bnbber-eating Is
quimaux that we in the picture books. Those
who have made it their business to observe the
weather, say that this was the coolest spell that we
have had since 81. To the oyster-men, the market
people, and Others whose business requires exposure
to weather, it proved n terrible Inconvenience. 1t
interrupted travel by water, and caused much incOn-
venience to publishers of newspapers by cutting of
the greater portion of their mails.
Happy those who were supplied with fuel and
who had provisions enough on hand to make them
independent of the almost bare and deserted mar
kets Those without fuel suffered dreadfully. The
donations of wood made by the City Council to the
poor of the city, under the direction of Sr. Crutch
field, contributed greatly to the relief of suffering
Without this commendabe charity the INDECENT and
helpless classes would have suffered beyond mea
sure-in many instances beyond the power of en-
durance If we may draw a moral from this severe
Lesson of winter we will express it in three words
Remember the poor
Yesterday pleasant change took place. bright
and genial sun lighted up and warmed the frozen
earth.
1t is to be hoped that the cold snap was arailed
of to lay in a sufficient store of ice, which will be
rendered more necessary than usual, by reason Of
the expected prevalence of cholerd.
