THK FLooD.-The late freshets have not been
confined to small locality, but have extended over
States But what is remarkable ls the fact that the
greatest sufferers, in many instances those who
supposed they were beyond the reach of floods
This is the case with our Shamokin neighbors The
heavy torrents rushing from the mountains that
round the town, came through the streets like
mill race, inundating cellars and carrying every
thing before them. Our Shamokn friends, whose
sympatbics had been so strongly excited in behalf
of this place, when we, in common with most of the
towns on the Susquehanna, suffered slightly from the
moisture Of the great freshet in March, 1865, natu
rally supposed that the food at this point was second
only In magnitude and Importance to the great
flood in which one Noah figured SO conspiouously.- =
AS most of the bridges between this place and Sha-
mokin wcro carried of, and all communication, by
rail and otherwise, was suspended, rumors Of all
kinds were naturally set aaoat. Among these, we
understand, one that the town entirely sub
merged, and that the first inquiry made was to as
certain the truth Of the story that the now Court
House had been carried into the middle Of the Sus-
quehanna. Another was that our enterprizing old
friend, j D., Of Shamokn, had authorized
some one TO make bid FOR the wreck Of the Court
House. as 1t stood, with view Of rebuilding Il at
Shamokin. Our Shamokin friends worc no doubt,
greatly relieved when they found that the rains had
scarcely raised tho Susquehanna sufficiently high to
make II navigable, and that everything, as far as
tho elements were concerned, was as "calm as a
