DESTRUCTIVE FREsHETs.
Advices from Kansas in regard to the late
storms and ireshets in that State, say that in
the neighborhood of junction City and West
of there, the flood is reported greater than any
other since the settlement of the State
Bridges have been carried away, houses de-
stroyed and many lives lost. The greatest dis
aster occurred at Chapman's Creek, 13 miles
west of Junction City, where several houses
were washed away, and thirteen persons are
known to have been drowned. It is supposed
that number of others have persisted. The
rising of the streams was SO sudden and unex-
pected that before the residents in the va ley
were aware of danger their dwellings were sur
rounded with water and all chance of escape
cut off. 1t was reported that number had
escaped by climbing trees and in that situation
were awaiting decline of the flood. At Man
haitian fourteen dead bodies have been seen to
pass floating in Blue river
LEAvENwoRTH, July 1--No mails or trains
have arrived here from the East since Friday
last. There has been great destruction by the

CHRISTMAS AND OUR MERCHANTS Christ
mas is coming, and, in the language of one Of
our enterprising citizens, the Bel Air and
Fallston merchants "are ready for it."
For every thing you may wish in the Ii.
quor line-and who would not indulge in
little about Christmas time-see the advertise
ments of l.. Cahcn and Jos. E. Bateman & Co.
For any OF everything else read in our
advertising columns the inducements offered
purchasers by Herman & Ewing Charles w.
Norris & Bro, and A. II. Greenfield.
If you come from clown the pike" let us
canddly tell you that you may possibly save
longer ride by stopping at Fallston at either
Moore & Holingsworth's or Painter & Wat
sons, or both.
The cold weather, too, may induce you to
purchase stoves, etc, to provide a warm
room in which to gather the family group to
celebrate the festivities Of the season If so,
there is no necessity to look further than
our friend l. Amos establishment, in this
place.
All of our merchants above named have
provided for Christmas in way that bids
fair to make the season this year merry one
We wish we could enumerate in detail the
many beautiful and cheap goods offered by
each, but we arc conscious that an effort to
do so would only result in failure to do
justice to any. So we say to our citizens
everywhere, call and examine for yourselves.
You cannot go astray in any particular in
dealing with any of our friends above emu
merated.
Ifyou should wish good, piping hot plate
of oysters, at any time, friend Lytle at the
New Restaurant, on CORTLAND ST., or A. ].
Prigg, at the corner, will accommodate you
in that line, with the ct ceteras to suit.

ment in our usually quiet village, on Tues
day morning last, at an early hour, caused
by the gathering of hunters and hounds
for fox chase. The fox had been cap
tured some days previous, by Mr. Samuel
Scarf, near Col. r. McHenry's Mill, in the
first district, and notice having been given
he was brought here on Tuesday and let
loose just below the town for the sport.
He was suffered to get some fifteen minutes
Start, when the hounds were put upon the
trail and the chase commenced. He led
his pursuers quite round about route, but
was, we learn, finally brought to, about
shutdown, somewhere in the neighborhood
of his first capture.
