perfect taste and breeding. She Is %

Each days testimony in the case Of
Jno. q. Snrratt seems to more clearly es-
tablish his completely In the assassina-
ton plot. In addition to proof of his
presence ;at Washington, and at Ford's
Theatre in company with Booth on the
night that the President was murdered,
the prosecution has produc, d testimony
offs previous declaration by Surratt
that he and Booth were going to COM
nit the crime for which he is now on
trial.
1t has been said that the defense will
endeavor to establish an attbf, but If the
testimony OF the Government witnesses
that surratt was In Washington on the
night of the murder can be successfully
contradicted, it does not follow that he
will be acquitted unless the evidence
given by the witness Cleayer, can be
overthrown.
1t is to be hoped that the whole truth
will come out, and then, whether the
Prisoner is declared guilty or innocent,
the public will be content.

ExtraordInary storm.


For several days past rumors have
reacbed us of a wonderful descent of
rain and hait-an unexampled flood
to have visited Steuben, Remsen, Tren.
ron, &C., on the afternoon of Friday
last. The few isolated facts we could
gather from the reports were of SO re-
markable and almost incredible char
acter that we would not venture to give
them publicity. The storm, according
to the accounts, resembled nothing We
have ever heard OF, except the "cloud-
bursts (which are said to visit occa-
sionally the mountainous regions In
far West. Yesterday, however, we in
duced a reliable and intelligent gentle.
man of this city to proceed northwaru
and investigate the truth ofthe reports
He returned this morning, and we sun
nit the result Of his inquiries , DgioM y.
The credulity OF our readers VIII oe
greatly taxed, but we assure them tnat
the statements are given In gooo iAllh
and perfect sincerity.
The storm was the most sudden and
powerful within the recollection OF the
oldest inhabitants. Among the hills OF
Steuben Il poured out its fury in tor
rents of rain for two hours, and then
the hail fell for another hour. win
very little notice, the clouds seemed 10
break and pour out their accumulated
waters, which, in their course through
fields and woods, bore everything De-
fore them. One witness says he saw
mass of water, like wall, four feet IN
height, passing down through mead
ow, bearing cows, sheep, out-houses,
fences and trees in a confused mass! In
another field, where there is no running
water ordinarily, the water became
thirteen feet deep in less than an hourl
The hail then came in its fury, strip
ping the trees OF their foliage and small
limbs, and grinding the young vegeta-
ton to atoms. Even the next day the
the hail lay upon some fields in Steu-
ben three feet deep, as can be es-
tablished by the most reliable testimo-
ny. The waters of the Upper Mohawk,
opposite Steuben rose seven feet In for
" minutes.
AttRemsen, on the main street of the
village, 1t was two feet deep. In one
instance, garden, earth, vegetation
and all were swept away, leaving moth
ing but the bare rock.
At Trenton the waters rose hve rect
IN less than an hour, washing gardens,
streets and meadows; and most OF this
hour the sun was shining! AT Owens
cheese factory, two miles above Tren-
ton, the first notice OF the flood was
given by about two feet of water filling
the establishment with mud and flood
wood. Several cows were drowned or
killed, and about a mile of fence washed
away.

INTERVIEWED MAEURE.-Many ex-
cellent farmers have an idea that ma
nure, to be most efficient in raisiDgcrops,
should be well rotted; but this is a mis-
take. Manure loses a very heavy per
centage of its real value by decomposi-
ton, Fresh manure, dripping with
animal urine, hauled directly from the
stable on to the land and ploughed un-
der, is worth nearly double that which
has decomposed to a saponaceous con-
sistence. When 1t is convenient for
farmers to haul their manure on corn
ground as fast as 1t is made, 1t saves
handling it twice, and forwards the
work in busy Spring-time. No fears
need be entertained that the atmosphere
will carry of the strength of the ma
nure If LEFT on the surface. The only
danger TO be apprehended by this
method will be in case of the ground
being frozen, and covered with snow or
ice when the manure is applied; fup-
on slOping land, the virtue of the ma
nure might wash away; but on level
land there is no exception to this plan
of operation during the entire Fall and
Winter season. = Germantown Iete-
