Mrs. Elms, who recently eloped from
Saratoga with man named Harrington,
left the following letter to her husband.
It gives tho reason for her conduct and is
a literary model:
"My dearest You have not earned as

"A prisoner named Nelson Bryan re-
leased himself from the Caldwell Jail on
Tuesday. He must be used to this kind
of work as it is said that this is his third
escape from the same Jail this season.
Since his last arrest, about three weeks
since, he has been heavily ironed, and a
Waterman stationed ever him. With all
the vigilance, he succeeded IN saving off
the bolts of his shackles with case
knife, and while the Waterman was alb
sent, only few minutes, the door of his
cell being open, walked off. He was
awaiting trial for breaking into house
in Glen's Falls last spring.

Incidents of the Flood.

AT Saltwater, \. l., the news from
the surrounding country indicates pretty
general wreck. Northern mail stages are
compelled to give their usual route a wide
berth, running some four TO FIVE miles
west Of that place. The little village
shows hard usage. Every bridge gone,
deep gullics through the streets, sidewalks
torn up and washed away. A stranger
passing through would say the place had
been visited by young earthquake ac-
companied with good sized tidal wave.
The total amount of damage caused
by the freshet at North Adams, Mass, l.
not less than 100000. The heaviest
loss falls upon the manufacturing estab-
lishments. The bridge recently erected
at Greylock was washed away, together
with a portion of the railroad track be-
tween Greylock and Braytonyille. Great
damage was done at the central and west
shafts of the Hoosac tunnel, by the water
breaking in. One man was drowned at
the west shaft. His name Is not known,
as he had but commenced work that
morning. 1t was supposed that he was
unacquainted with he tunnel, and lost
his life while fruitlessly endeavoring TO
find his way out. Williamstown suffers
to the amount of $4,000.
The loss TO the city of Troy. by the
recent rreslIet by the bursting OF sewers,
injuries to sidewalks, streets, etc, is esti-
mated at $4,000, and the individual
losses to private individuals will probably
foot 100000.
The Lamoille River was higher on
Tuesday than it has been since 1880, and
eleven inches higher than last spring.
The damage to crops through the valley
will not be less than ten thousand dollars.
Nearly all the corn is washed away. What
remains Is lodged in bushes and coyes.

mills have been swept away, and small
bridges without numbeE leaving the

ter flowed in every corner, undermining
dwelling houses and shops. A barn
owned by Rev. VIM. A. Bryant, in which
Messrs. Kent & Fuller had stored .
quantity of hay, was swept sway; also,
the barn. coal house and forge of p. d.
Hart. Six bridges in this village. Gn-
Guiding the new one which was nearly
completely, were washed away; trees
were not exempt from the fury Of the
storm. The highways were washed 50 az
to render travelling, near where water
could collect, impossible. 1t seemed that
the very food-gates of the great deep
were opened, bidding every man to stand
back. The most serious individual LOSE
of which we have yet learned, falls upon
Messrs. Kent d. Fuller, in the loss of logs,
lumber aud the washing away of their
works, amounting, probably. from two to
three thousand dollars; in view of which
the citizens have instituted means which
will probably secure sum approximat-
ing very nearly to one thousand dollars.
This is but the result of that confidence
in their stirling qualities as citizens, and
as the foremost business men of the place,
and as the place owes its chief or princi-
pal prosperity to their enterprise and
public spirit. we are of the opinion that
this work of esteem is justly merited.
Yet, while it is fact that a dollar thus
invested is sure TO return two dollars or
more, we say it reflects much credit upon
those who so literally aided their honored
townsmen. At a meeting held on
Wednesday evening for the purpose above
referred TO, prominent citizen headed
the list with a subscription of $50: he
was followed by another, no less conspicu-
Gus, with a subscription of $50, which
brought subscriber No. l back instanta,
swelling his first gift to the generous sum
Of $500. Another man, dependent upon
his hands and team for livelihood.
subscribed a weeks work with himself
and team. Several days, if not weeks,
must elapse before travel can be resumed
either by teams or rail, yet both viii be
done in the shortest time possible.

OATs.-Henry Long, Of Chittenden, on
Friday showed us nineteen stalks of ordi-
nary oats grown from one seed, seventeen
of which are over 81 feet in length. There
were 1922 hulls-two oats to hull on
the stalks.
He has twenty-five stalks of the same
kind Of oats grown from one seed that
contained ,G0l hulls
These oats are no humbug, but are the
good old-flshioned kind. Mr.. Long says
the original seeds, for aught he knows,
came over in the May Flower.
These oats were grown on the line of
the proposed Rutland and Woodstock
Railroad, and there arc hundreds of acres
of land along its line that will produce
oats Of this kind.

WAS IT \ JUDGMENT "A well-to-do
farmer, living on bottom lands below
Ludlow, when the water began to rise
last Monday, got help and hauled his
corn on to high ground, making the re-
mark that God or the water could not
reach it now" Feeling satisfied with him
self, and sorry for his less fortunate neigh
bors, he went to sleep that night to awake
in the morning and find every ear of corn
gone. The water had risen till it reached
the bank, and then washed away both
bank and corn.

THE COUNTERFEIT CURRENCY FRAUD.
The old dodge of sending out circulars
to individuals by mail, proposing to sell
counterfeit currency looking as good as
the genuine of its apparent value, has
been revived. Many citizens have re-
ceived these confidential circulars, invit-
ing them to remit to address in New York
and receive this currency. The firm do
ing this business use the address Of Noyes
IS Co.,. 90 Wall street, and when they
find green ones to remit to them, they OBJ
tain the remittanccs through that address.
Their circulars are postmarked Brooklyn.

ROMAN CATHOLIC.

The Bohemian clergy have written
an address which they propose to submit
to the Roman Council. They say that
"The Council should not proclaim the
infallibility of the Pope. This is the sin
cere wish of the most learned, intelligent
and eanest of the adherents of the holy
chair. Such a step would only give rise
to ridicule among unbelievers."

BRATTLEEoGo.--Ad despatch from Brat

date OF Monday. Oct. 4,h, thus describes
the food At that place:
The dam ata tauucry at West Brat
tlrhoro washed OUT, md the water
rushed down through W.heatstone creek,
which crosses our main street. and whose
banks we're covered with buildings using
water power. J. Esty d Co, organ man
ufacturers, had some of their lumber
washed away and thsir small shops float
ed fRm their foundations, while their
cargo shop is now moored 10 its founda-
ton by ropes. A furniture dealer bad
his entire building and stock of goods
washed away. Boynton, shoe dealer, lost
his entire stock and tools. Newman &
Tyler, maehinists, had the whole end OF
their shop washed away. The lower end
of the Connecticut river bridge is washed
away, and fears are entertained that the
structure W Il 90 en- mdSSe. The Wheat
stone creek bridge was carried away by
the flood at the same time that the shops
went oft.
Several lives were lost, among them a
German by the name of Fredericks. who
was engaged in getting out lumber in
Esty's yard, when the current struck the
pile he was on and carried him away at
once. This poor fellow was one of the
survivors when the Central America went
down on her passage to New Orleans, sew
eral years ago. 1 have just learned that
Miss Barrett was also drowned at the tan
merry. In addition to these, a man and a
boy have lost their lives.
AS write, the Connecticut river bridge
has been carried away, and all communi-
cation is now cut off between this place
and the island opposite, upon which are
several families. The greatest excitement
prevails here, as there is no indication of
any abatement of the flood. The total
loss is estimated at not less than 81 $780,

a set of harness, made by Burt Bros, for
Mr. Warren Marshall of Lebanon Springs,
and are free To say we never saw better
work or stock ia draught harness be-
fore. There is one improvement to these
harness that we never noticed before in
this country, and that Is q strap passing
over the horses hips and passing along
the sides to the neckyoke, giving the horse
free use Of his limbs, in holding back
on il heavy load, which every tesm-ter
knows he does not have with the old
style, thereby enabling him 80 "pull a.

man, doing any amount Of cartiug, should
have their harness fixed ia this IL inner,

horses every time they went down hill.

be cxcaIled, and we would advise every
one wishing any thing in their line 10 ex-
anime their work

The HoosICK TUNNEL-The excava-
lions in the Hoosick tunnel have recently
been interfered with by the occurrence of
soft place, but the workmen have at
last overcome the difficulties, and have
reached point one hundred feet beyond.
The soft place was about IL feet in width
composed of soft and rotten rock filled
with water, which kept slowly falling un-
til timbered up. The tunnel fell for the
whole width, leaving cavity above about
40 feet high, all of which had to be filled
up and made firm with wood and timber,
and will have to be arched with brick.
The material beyond this place, it is stat
ed, is the bs hitherto met with, being
mica slate, and blasts off in large flakes,
suitable for building purposes. The rate
of the progress now is about forty feet
per week on the east side OF the tunnel,
it is reported.

just as the congregations was singing the
last lines of the last hymn, Mrs. Powers,
wife of Thomas Powers, ond grand.
daughter of the late Rev. VIM. Brockin-

her arms. Her lady friends went to her
relief at once, aud found that life had
ceased with her. The infant liyes-but
the mother is iii the grave.
The Rev. Mr.. Jones, the Pastor, had
just closed an impressive sermon on the
frailty of human lifc-the certainty Of
death, and the uncertainty of the tine
of its 'approach, as is that of the thief in
the night.
We learn that there was no unusual
excitement. The facts are, as we state
them, from al eyewitness.
