Ting FLooD. Every body had sup
posed that it was not possible for such a
shower ofwater to have fallen after the
clouds had been apparently drained for
several weeks past, but on Friday last,
the ram descended in torrents for several
hours, raising the streams to greater
heigbth than has been attained for several
years past. The Lamoiile River rose | s
feet above low water mark, and caused a
great deal of damage. A two acre field
OF very nice corn, belonging to Simeon
Gould, about one half mile below this vii.
iaee' being cut, was swept entirely away,
and the crop lost. A field Of corn, and
another of India wheat, belonging to Clark
Fisk, was also swept away.

From our own Correspondent
xoTsS IN VARIOUS TOPICS

The cold rains of tho past season nave
caused corn and nearly, if not quite all
of our agricultural produetionst to pc back
ward in arriving to state Of maturity
We recently heard an Old farmer say that
he in all his experience, had never raised
such an erceAent crop of poor corn 1t
is apprehcuded by many tina; the autum-
nal frosts will injure it badly, should
they occur at the customary period lhe
ratio of the number Of bushels Of "nub-
bins to those of good " mealable corn
per acre, will be nearly the same AT
the present prices OF this great staple ar
tifcial fertilizers can be used with protlt,
vet the farmers in this section do not
seem TO be aware of their beneficial re-
suits. for in no instance do we know OF
one using them.
We spent part of last weak in the
eastern and northern portion of Franklin
county. Though this is by far, the
finest farming county III Vermont, the
bad weather has seriously affected the
crops; potatoes are rotting, end corn is
unripe. Yet one gentleman informed me
that he had just thrcshed three hundred
aud forty five bushels of wheat aud oats
of very good quality.
The people in this (Franklin) county,
are at present paying some considerable
attention to the manufacture of cheese
and also to the introduction Of = cheese
factories. Our idea Of the factory sys.
TEN is: Farmers to avoid the expense
of the necessary buildings, send their
milk each morning to some convenient
point, where il is converted into cheese by
some competent person who is by them
employed to superintend the making OF it.
Each farmer interested there received his
proportion of the cheese Cor the money re.
ceiyed for the samc) according o the quan
tity he originally furnished. The 81 seen
has, we believe, worked well thus far
How it will be when the price Of cheese j,
reduced to its former STANDARD, we do mol
profess TO know.

VINO DID IT?--A correspondent in
Cambridge, says that on Saturday night,
Sept. 10th, baby about two days old
was left on the door step of Webster Page,
In the North East part of Cambridge by
some heartless wrctchcs. 1t was evident
ly living when left, but died from expos
ure before discovered, having scarcely anv.
thing around it, and laying on the cold
stone, with its limbs and head bare. 1t
was afterwards learned by investigation,
that two women and a man came up the
road, and a little below the house the
women got out, and the man drove on
nearer the house, aud it appears from the
tracks in the sand, pulled off his boots,
and left the little one OH the stone.
The perpetrators Of this foul crime, are
not as yet found out, but that they may
soon be, aud receive just punishment, is
the wish of everybody.

WE have reason to be proud of the
service rendered for the cause of the Un-
ion and honest Government by the sew
eral gentlemen of this county who are
accustomed to speak for the Democracy.
In addition to rendering full service at
home, they have spoken in eight or ten
neighboring counties during the late
canvass. In addition to speeches by
Senator Buckalew at Lock Haven, Dam
vile, Shichshinney, Pottsvilie, and
Lebanon service has been performed by
our Columbia County boys in Sullivan,
Bradford, Tioga, Lycoming, Northum-
berland, and Union. General Ent, Colo
mel Freeze, and Captain Brockway de-
serve honorable mention not merely
because they have performed this SER
vice but because they have performed
it without compensation and with a
sacrifice of their business interests at
home, they have been jealous and un-
selfish in their work and have won not
only the attachment of party friends
but the good opinion of the people gen.
orally in all the communities were they
have spoken.

THE vote in Bloom affiicts the Radi-
Gals, and well it may. With the large
vote polled, amounting to nearly five
hundred and fifty, they had reason to
hope for majority of over one hundred
for Geary, and they confidently claimed
at least fifty for Mercur. But Geary fell
down to seventy-one, and Mercur was
actually whipped, except for the cor
rupt and sneaking treachery of the
Boilers. And these few miserable votes
and scratched tickets which secured for
Mercur barely five majority, were ex-
pressive and were also disgraceful to all
concerned. In 1868 and 1864, the Re
publican majorities in Bloom were
eighty-six and eighty-seven, upon vote
much lighter than that of the present
year. But things have changed some
what, and the President of the First
National Bank of bloomsbury is not
quite as powerful as formerly at our
local elections.

which blew Tate ON of water, and left
the brigade without an excuse for any
open opposition to the Democratic party.
The only thing left for them to do In
behalf Of Mercur and DIR. John, was a
little private cheating at the election
on their own account, tchich they did.
Writ, and perhaps one or two others,
voted the Republican ticket outright,
while the bulk of the Brigade and a
few others whom they could influence
thought 1t more safe to vote scratched
tickets, which amount in principle to
the same thing; except being somewhat
meaner in its character. Eight Demo-
cratic county tickets had Judge Elwell's
name scratched off, which, although a
weak showing for the brigade, was all
that they thought could be safely done,
They wanted to keep their treachery
secret, and while carrying out theil
contract with DR.. John to escape respon'
sibility as far rs possible.
Fortunately for the cause Of Justice
most OF them are known, and they will
not be trusted hereafter by the Democ
Eracy Of this county, which has hereto
fore bestowed favors on several Of them
only to be repaid by treachery and in
gratitude.
But the revolt of the brigade, which
Hooked so big and important at one time
and was backed by two newspapers
dwindled down into very small proper
tions at last. 1t died of Doctor Johr
and its own rNscality, and is only impor
tant as lesson to all corrupt men wh'
may hereafter desireto betray our part!
from motives of spite or seltishness, ant
to disregard honor and duty in carrying
out their designs.

Democratic Gains in Indiana.

THE large gains on the Congressional
vote in this State are even overmatched
by those in Indiana. In the latter State
there is larger vote polled than there
was in 1864, and the increase, save in one
district, Colfax's, is wholly on the Con-
servative side. Niblack, Democrat, in
the first district, is returned by 1900 ma
jority--a gain; Kerr, Democrat, in the
second district, has increased from 1,793
to 1877. Hunter, Republican, gets less
than 500, when his Radical predecessor
had over 800. Julian, in the fifth dis
trict has his majority cut down from
7,145 to about 800. In the sixth district,
Coburn has only 1900 against 1888 two
years since. Washburne, Republican,
in the seventh district, is reported to
have made Il small increase. Orth, Re-
publican, in the eighth district, has only
800 against 1 ,4S7 two years since. There
is no noticeable change in the other dis
tricts. We doubt if the Radicals will
have seven thousand majority in the
Congressional vote, against twenty
thousand two years since. We congrat-
ulate the Democracy of Iddiana on the
result of their contest for the Union, the
Constitution, and the restoration OF the
States.-Phiiddeiphia Age.
