FLOOD IN BALTIMORE.

The rain storm which commenced at
daylight on Sunday morning continued
without cessation throughout the day,
and at two o'clock this morning the
rain was still falling steadily and in
large quantities. 1t is feared that great
damages have been occasioned by it but
as yet nothing is definitely known. No
trains were dispatched over the North
era Central Railroad last night, and it
was reported that bridges on the line
had been washed away. Jones' Falls
rose steadily during the day, and the
people on its banks yesterday afternoon
and night we're removing the contents
OF their houses, and preparing for an
other lnundation. In the lower part
of the city, back of the Central market
the water was flowing into the streets
in small quantities and there were gen.
eral fear for the worst. During the
night the water rose very rapidly.
Baltimore, Oct. 4--l2:30 a. m.--The
rain storm prevailing throughout yes
terday increased in volume about 8
o'clock p. M, and continued inhabited.
There Is every Indication of another
flood in t at portion OF tue city sub
merged last July. The fire bells are
now sounding general alarm. Har-
rison street, from Gay to Baltimore, is
flooded, as also the vicinity of the mid
die dis triet police station. Vhe stores
on Gay, Harrison and other streets are
lighted up, and the merchants are re-
moving their goods. The rise at pre-
sent is caused by back water from the
sewers. Jones' Fall Creek has risen
twoleet within the past hour, and the
water, at present three feet below the
bank, is rising rapidly.

A sPEcIMEN-THE sHERIFFs BOND.

We have Information that the County
Court on last Friday accepted the ofii
cial bond offered by the military Sher-
if, Leahy. the Court, we are told,
did this under order from Gen. Candy
who directed them to accept the sure
ties on the bond for the amounts at
which they respectively fixed the value
of their possessions An individual
had only to make oath that hc was
worth certain sum. and the Court
were under order to take him for that
sum. without further ado, no matter
what their suspicious OF his solvency
may have been. And thus tins pro-
tracted farce has scandalously termina-
ted, aud the sheriff is to go on with the
collection of State taxes and county
levy, with bond utterly inadequate as
n protection TO the State and county.
The penalty was fixed at $4,000, but
a gentleman assures us that parties
were present and prepared to prove to
the Court, that all the sureties togeth-
err offered by the sheriff were worth
less than $1,000. But the Court, it
seems, had no discretion in the matter
az Gen. Candy had given positive in
structions. So we go.-Ddn0iHe Regis

ticient size to admit a large-slze wash
tub, in which was seated the driver.
TO this was attached SIX geese harness,

COSTLY SPORT.

The Supreme Judicial court, In ses-
Son at Dover, week before last, was
occupied three days with the trial OF
the case of Kicker VS.. Frceman-an &C
ton brought by the plaintiff against
the dependent for injuries sustained
eleven years ago, when the parties were
school boys of about tW Give years OF
age. The evidence showed that during
the recess of the school which they at
tended, the boys were ''sky lark:ng' on
the stairs. in course of which Freeman
threw Kicker so violently that he fell
npon some hooks in the wall, one OF
which entered his neck and did him so
much injury that he has never recover
ed from the effects oft. The damages
were laid at $4,000, and the action has
been deferred tile this late day when
tie parties became of age. The jury.
rendered a verdict for the plaintiii, and
gave Linn damages to the amount OF
S3.250. No malice was imputed to the
defe ndant, but the act for which he is
made to pay so smartly was the result
of the rough play in which school boys
frequently indulge. (N. ~

CANDY AND DANIEL.

clipped from a Virginia letter to the
Southern Metropolis in relation to Dan

It was copied and commented upon by
a number of our exchanges; in fact, it
raised little row. 1t appears that
Candy did not attempt to bride Daniel,
as was charged; but Richmond paper
of last weeks hints strongly that Can
