The Flood.

As the accounts from abroad reach Us
we learn that the flood was more extern
sivc and destructive than we anticipated.
From North Carolina to Maine inclus-
i've, we hear of its devastation, but az far
as we can judge from the reports received
the waters in Eastern Vermont caused a
greater destruction of life and property
than in any other section of the country.
Not a town escaped the fury of the storm,
and in many human life was sacrificed.
The Phoenix and Record of Brattleboro
come to Us laden with the sad intelli.
gence Of its havoc in that and adjoining
towns.
The water in the streams emptying
into the Connecticut was never, in the
memory of the oldest inhabitant, so high.
The bridges of the town are generally
swept off, and the roads rendered impas-
sable, and the Record estimates the los.
at fully 100000 The editor of the
Phoenix estimates the loss at half this
amount, and hopefully adds "Let not
our friends abroad suppose for moment
that Brattleboro is ruined. Let not our
own citizens look downcast and utter
words of encouragement rather let Us
all on this trying occasion be courageous,
speak encouragingly to each other, put
our shoulders to the work, help bear one
anotheI's burdens, and do what we can to
repair the damage sustained, and give
new life and activity to business"
Two persons were drowned, Mr.. Adolph
Friedrich, Polander by birth, who, in
1857, made q miraculous escape from the
steamship Central America after she had
foundered at sea, and Miss Katie Barrett,
aged sixteen, the daughter of an English
man, in the employ of Messrs Warren at
Centreville.
Mr.. Friedrich leaves a wife and five
children in comparatively destitute con-
dition.
In another article in this paper, allu-
sion is made to the losses of Messrs. Estey,
Dwinnell, and others. In addition to
these, others suffered severely. We will
briefly name few reported in the Brat
tleboro papers I. K. Allen, lumber
dealer, has loss estimated at 81 200
Brown s. Jones, $500; Er. Boynton, shoe
dealer, 81, 400; Hinsdale Bridge company,

The Railroad Accident at Hoosick
+. EallS..A Thrilling Scene.

The recent railroad accident at Hoosick
Falls, by which DR.. Fowler and wife, of
that place, and Mr.. Aiken of Sandlake,
lost their lives. and other parties were
seriously injured, has in measure been
overshadowed by the events of the week.
1t was, however, most tragic and heart
rending affeir; and it is impossible after
listening to the narration of the accident
by those who participated in its horrors,
to understand how it was that any upon
that fated engine escaped with their lives.
Last night we had the pleasure of meeting
at the American, conductor 81. ]. Clark Of
the Troy and Boston road, one of the vic
TINS of the accident, whose wounds at first
were supposed to be very serious, but who
we are happy to state escaped with only
a few slight bruises. Mr.. Clark gave us
a very thrilling account of the disaster.
It will be recollected the train which left
here on Monday evening at five o'clock
met with an accident short distance
above Lansingburgh by collision with a
freight train, by which three men were
severely hurt. The passengers exchanged
cars with the down train, which came
along shortly afterwards, and proceeded

TRUE HAPPINESS. = The Baltimore
American is quite right in saying that
people may talk as they please in regard
TO the happiness of the rich but, after
all, the workingman who is out of debt, and
has plenty to do, has the greatest cause to
be contented. Happy in the company OF
his wife and children, and free from all
anxiety, he goes to his toll with the salts
faction of knowing that the days labor
will bring with it enough to satisfy his
wants-and what further can be desired ?
He only knows what q notary is by hear
say, and as fot rec o'clock, the sooner it
comes the nearer he will be to the end of
his daily toll. The only notes he thinks
about are bank notes, and provided that
on Saturday night he has enough to Lay
in his store for the ensuing week, it is
immsterial to him whether banks grant
discounts or not BE has no insurance to
watch sitter, nor does he care for the rates
of exchange. To him the present is ev-
erything, nor does he trouble himself
about speculations rs to the future"

Summer ut Ripley Female College

One fine morning in the latter part o.
June, 1.-The month of roses" found me in
Poultney for the summer at Ripley Fe'
male College, opened by DIR. Newman for
hoarders during the long vacation. The
building is imposing capacious and com
modious: as we'll adapted for summer
borders rs for pupils. The parlors are
large, and those who cannot participate
in the beautiful drives and walks, find
them home-like and cheering. The din.

and chickens and cream, has attraction.

shady hooks beside the noisome brooks
The grounds about the College are very
attractive. A lawn in front, in which
are laid out gravelled walks, shaded by
beautiful evergreen trees. On the north
is the maple grove, where are groups OF
grown-up people and blithesome, happy,
children, al the live-long day Some
reading, some visiting, and some at cro-
quet. Yes, even the children are welcome
to this beautiful summer home, and their
prattle and merry laughter tell how rich
ly they enjoy it. The walks, the drives,
the picnics, speed the days away on
downy wings. To-day, picnic at Car
vie's Fils; next week at Lake Bomoseen;
then at'Sutherland Falls, Bird Mountain
and Lake St Catharine.
The mineral springs at Middletown
too are favorite resort, some eight miles
beyond the scenery slopes to the eastward
over the beautiful hills. Among the
boarders are the Belchers and Hoppers,
the Aikmens and Keltys of New York
City, Mrs. Cuyler and daughters of
Albany, Judge Randall of Florida, Mr.
and Mrs. Higgins and daughter, and Mr..
Giles and family of New York City. Mr..
and Mrs. Moore, Prof. Warren and
mother, the Williamses, the Osborns, the
Sturtevants and many others.
We are quite indebted to Prof Warren
of Troy. for many of the evening enter
tainments in the parlors, consisting of
charades, tableaux, concerts, ETC., and had
you been here one evening you would
have seen Gen Grant and Parepa Rosa as
large as life and twice as natural. One
of the pleasantest features of the house
are the morning and evening devotions.

health and happiness to render praises to

visitors are the venerable DIR. Beaman, for

Peisner of Union College, Schenectady,

many days have glided by, now Septem-

OBITUAEY.-We this morning chroni-
ole the death of Katie i, only daughter
of Frederick and Charlotte Chaffee The
death Of this estimable young lady has cast
gloom over wide circle of admiring
friends in our community. She had been
i'll several weeks of fever, but had be-
come comparatively convalescent, when
she was attack with relapse on Tuesday
of last week, and gradually and peace
fully glided onward to that bourne from
whence no traveller returns" Death
loves a shining mark" is an adage long
since familiar, but VIXEN it comes to one
who is gifted by graces of character,
mind and heart, in the years of opening
womanhood, surrounded by the mate
rial adornmcnts that contribute to happi-
ness, and in the pursuit of those intel
lectual endowments that are to fit her for
the performance of her part in the sphere
of life of cultured and refined woman,
this maxim possesses more than ordinary
force. Katie was a young lady possessed
of more than ordinary symmetery of
mind and force of character, unassuming
III her demeanor, and in all the relations
of life, the same quiet unobtrusive and
familiar person, characterics that endeared
to all who came within her acquaintance.
Few individuals of her age possessed q
wider circle of approaching friends. She
was a student of the Rutland High
School, an apt scholar and greatly be-
loved by her associates, who will miss her
kindly greeting, the warm sunshine Of
her companionship, and. her courtesy in
all the relations of school life.
The saddest blow falls upon the stricken
parents, and deepest gloom surrounds
that once happy household, and long will
the sweet memories of her life linger
within the hearts Of those who are 80
suddenly bereaved of q doting and low
ing child, whose presence was its light,
and whose graces of character adorned its
circle. The family have the deep sympa-
thy of our entire community in their

THE GOLD GAMBLERS VS.. THE PRES
DENT AND THE PEoPLE.-No impartial
man can fail to see that the gold gamb-
lers of New York formed gigantic con-
spiracy against the reputation of the
President and the interests of the people.
The public suffered at their hands. but
the President remains unarrsilable.
Whatever may be said of Mr.. Corbin,
nothing whatever has been brought for
ward that casts a stain upon Grant This
is owing to no good Will on the part of
the conspiritors, but from sheer want of
power. Grant and Boutwell, proved
themselves masters of the situation in the
great Wall street battle, and those who
went out to secure the golden fleece came
back shorn.

the details of this fraudulent conspiracy
should be investigated. Ii il cannot be
done in any other way, Cupgre I'M

was none such at Washington il clearly

among the most attractive objects dis
played in Section Five. We were re-
minded of our neglect in this matter by a
notice of them in the Boston Journal,
which we insert as follows:
In Section Five, in Quincy Hall. the
Howe Scale Works of Brandon, Vt, have
a large and very fine display of their
scales. The scales are very beautifully
made and make a very interesting exhi-
bition. The proprietors are gentlemen
extensively known in business circles,
and among them are Col. N. T. Sprague
and Gov. John B. Page of Vermont, and
other gentlemen of large wealth and in
fiuence. They claim that even their
heaviest scales are so accurately and nice
ly balanced that an aggregate of five tons
of their weights will not vary An ounce.
Among the scales on exhibition are four
ton hay scale. No. Dormant Scale, $500
lbs; a drop lever w arehouse Scale, 1900 lbs;
common No. 2 Rolling Mill Scale, $500
lbs; a common Portable, Patent Even
Balance and Post Office scales.
The Dormant Scale is 30 nicely adjust
ed that half ounce weight will turn it
readily, and some of the other scales are
moved by passing breath of air. Two
patents connected with the scales arc
worthy of special examination = lever
