A SERIOUS FLooD-A BRIDGE WASHED AWAY
AND ONE MAN DRowNED.-The heavy rains OF the
past few days caused an extraordinary rise in the
waters of the Gunpowder river, in this
county, by which considerable damage to prop
| erty crops &C., was sustained-in some instan-
ces the corn along the banks of the river being
almost entirely washed away. The new iron
bridge. erected at a cost of S., 900, across the
river, near Phoenix Factory, was entirely washed
away on Monday morning, about o'clock
The saddest event of the freshet was the drown
ing of Mr.. James Gain, residing in the neighbour
hood of the bridge. 1t appears that Mr. Gain
was in the act of crossing the bridge on his way
to work, when the turbulent waters came rushing
down, carrying, in its fury, everything that
| CHANGED to be in its course. The bridge being
entirely demolished and swept with the surging
current, the unfortunate man could but resign
himself to bis fate, and go with the ruins. His
body was subsequently found near VIM. d..
Hoffman's parper mill, few miles distant from
Phoenix.
The unfortunate man leaves a wife and four
children, who were dependent upon his exertions
for livelihood, and who will deeply feel the
loss that no earthly power can restore. After
the finding Of the body, Justice Willis of the
county, summoned a jury Of inquest, verdict
in accordance with the facts being rendered
There has not been such q flood IN that section
of the country for number of years, the bank
along the river for miles being overfowed, caus-
ing great destruction of property by the wash
ing away of fences, lumber and other mo vable
property besides so materially damaging the
growing crops 1t is hoped that the charitable
will open wide their hands in the alienation of
the wants of those made destitute by the unfor-
tunate occurrence.

ing that those already ordained to this

over the Episcopal Methodist, at Va,
of which State he is son, and is highly
esteemed for his scholarship and ability

Rev. e. NJ. Marvin is less known
among us. He comes from Missouri,
from which State he went with General
Price as his chaplain into the army, and
served on that peaceful and heavenly
duty throughout the late unhappy con.

not long ago that the colored people would
find out after while who were their true
friends. They seem to be doing so already.
At the African Methodist Conference, in
Washington, "Bishop Campbell" said that
from bloody Kansas to the Gulf they met
opposition from the Northern Methodist
Episcopal Church, but that the Southern
Methodist Church has assisted them.
"Rev. j. A, Shorter" said it was fact
that their ministers were aided in the South
by tho Methodist Church. The Northern
Methodist Church did not aid them, but
much oftener they opposed them.
