County CoURT.-The County Court
passed resolutions not very compliment
airy in regard to Mr.. Cook, the architect
of the Jail, and appointed committee
to make settlement with him. 7. S.
Ayres appeared and said he had been at
tending the Court several days, waiting
for an opportunity to present memo
rial from Amy & Co., of New York. If
there was to be any controversy about
the matter he wished to know it at once,
that he might take the only course pointed
out by law. He held in his hand Shelby
county bonds issued to the Memphis and
Ohio railroad, upon which interest
was past dine to the amount Of about
$4,000, and desired to know whether an
assessment would be made to meet the
debt A resolution was adopted that
when the assessment is made for taxes
at the April term, that there be an as
sessment made for the legal amount of
money due Amy & Co., of New York,
and all others, on Memphis and Ohio
railroad bonds. "A communication was
read from Judge Leonard to the effect
that there were at present twenty-five
paupers in the Poor house at Fort Pick
ering, and recommending that they be
sent to the Poor-house near Raleigh.
This raised quite q storm, Esquire Walker
being particularly rampant and unap-
peasable. 1t was finally allayed by the
suggestion of Esquire Hall that their
names should be given to Justice Mercer,
one of the Poor-house Commissioners,
and he would take care of them. After
the transaction of some unimportant
business, Court adjourned until the first
Monday in April

OBITUARY.

Our readers wtil be struck dumb
with grief aud CONSERVATION to learn
that Quow Daddy, King of Aquapin,
West Africa, has departed the sphere
Of his earthly greatness. 1t is to be
regr cited that we have SO few details
Of the life Of this illustrious monarch.
The ency cIopedias have sighted
him; the Biographical dictionaries
name him not, and with forbear-
ance for which the deceased should
be very grateful, John S. G. Abbott
and James Parton have never writ-
ten his life. We have only been able
to procure the following brief and un-
satisfactory particulars.
Quow Daddy vas a native Of Aqua
pin. He was carefully brought up
and kept free from reading, writing
and other vices. In his early manhood
he cvinced disposition to cultivate
the domestic virtues, and took to
himself twenty wives He earnest
~ favored the establishment ofChrist-
missions throughout his kingdom,
and dined off cold missionary, when
in season, with great regularity. He
was on one occasion converted to
Christianity and convinced of the sin
oe polygamy. Soon after he inform
ed his religious instructors that he
had but one wife. When asked what
he had done with Che others, he an
swered that he had eaten them. On
another occasion an effort was made
to make him repent ofhaving killed
a few hundred people on the day be-
fore, but the effort failed because the
trivial occurrence had altogether slips
ped his memory.
But Quow Daddy has partaken of
his last repast of roast wife. Having
lived to ripe age and filled the meas
ure of his glory, he has gone to his re-
ward. Reguiescat IN peace Milwau.

FLOOD AT PHILADELPHIA.

NEW YORK, June II.
The HeralPS Philadelphia special
says:-"Tho most violent rain storm
ever known ir this vicinity visited us
tooday. It commenced about mid
night and continued steadily until
about $50 this morning, and has been
pouring at intervals the entire day
About o'clock the Cahocksink Gull
vert gave way at the intersection Of
two streets upon which there is q
great deal of travel. The Delaware
and Schuylkil rivers arc very high.
The wharves, from Manayunl< down,
are overlooked, as well as the tow
path of the canal. The water was
four feet high in the mills at Manay-
unk, and considerable damage has
been done, but the extent is not known
A freight train ran off the track at
this place, owing 10 large quantity
of earth having washed down upon
the rails. All the trains were forced
to stop at this point. 4 bridge was
washed away on the line Of the Sec
ond and Third street passenger road,
preventing tho Running Of cars
About 300 feet OF high stone wall at
the Insane Asylum was entirely de-
mollshed A costly bridge on the
Cahocksinb creek was entirely swept
away. The cellars on entire streets
in the lower section otthe city arc in
undated, and the steam fire engines
are busiiy employed, endeavoring to
rid the premises Of water. They
make butlit Roadway, as it contin-
ues to rain steadily and, at periods,
very heavily. The rain has played
sad havoc with onr crops. In many
places corn. wheat and oats are COM
plotely covered with water. In the
north eastern section Of the city the
water in a bar room was two feet
deep. The Wissahickon IS very high,
and it is feared all the bridges are
washed away.
