GREAT FRESHET IN BUTLER COUNTY DIS
TREssINGi ACCIDENT.-We learn from Captain
Chester Thomas, who came up from Walnut
on Monday, that on Friday last there was the
most terrible freshet in that stream and its
branches, ever known. 1t was said that the
main stream rose 20 feet in n few, hours. He
was on West Branch ut the time. The bottoms
were suddenly oyerfown to the depth OF sew
eral feet. The people on them all had to flee to
the high land for safety. The most distressing
result OF this great storm and freSht was the
drowning of p. T.. johnson and family. He
resided four miles aboYe Eldorado, on thewest
branch of the Walnut. His wife, deeming it
unsafe TO remain in the house, they took their
team and wagon and started for the bluffs. The
family consisted of MIR. johnson and wife. and
their niece, young lady residing with them.
They were also accompanied by young man
named Bishop, who was herder for Mr.. john
son, and was on horseback. They had not
gone far before they were ovcrtaken by an i'm
mense wave, four or five feet in height, which
capsiZed the wagon and. swept the party into a
ravine where there was fifteen feet of water,
drowning Mr.. Johnson, the two ladies and the
team. Bishop and his horse were swept down
into themain stream. and the latter was drown
ed. Bishop managed to get into tree, and
saved himself. The occurrences has spread a
gloom over the community. as Mr.. johnson was
an old settler, very popular Throughout til e
country, man of means, and universally re-
spected, a large number of cattle were car
ried of. but most of them escaped with their
lives. The saw milf at the foot of the main
street of Eidorado was ten feet under water.

THE WOOL TRADE.-The great bulk Of the
wool raised in this county has heretofore been
taken to the river towns, but this year prices
have been offered here that have induced near
~ all our wool growers to sell in this market.
We We're not aware that the wool clip was 50
large, and were surprised, after making an ss
tllaate, at the amount Of wool bought here and
shipped to the eastern market. Among our
lswoel dealers We may mention Joseph Ruble
who has shipped large quantities of wool TO
theeaSt, and is still buying. He has paid Leav-
enwOrth priees--less the freight-in cash, and
viii continue to buy all that is brought TO him,
paying fair price therefor. Our we0l grow
ers will find Mr.. RnbIe q straiyh tfaryyArsI

confidence of the public. BY comparing his
prices With eastern quotations it WILDE seen
that he pays the highest cash prices foF wool
of all kinds. tL a8& I'D 1a
