We have again to record disasters by food The AS hours of incessant rain on Sunday and Monday cleaned out West Cornwall again. ..
 The filling up of the summer freshet was nearly completed, excepting in front of Mrs. Fosters and the Catholic church. The new filling under or west of R. R
 track was swept out clean. The damage generally is not as great as before, but it is bad enough and extended to the south end of the town. The dam of tho Cornwall Bridge Furnace was carried away and the furnace put out, and further up the stream, Colds saw-mill dam was undermined, the R. R. track was badly washed in many pla. ces, and all the trains were six or eight hours behind time, but were pushed through with commendable energy consid- ering the amount of damage. a
 This is the third time West Corn wall. has been damaged this year. And now if the property holders and tue town authori- ties do not take measures to remove the Instructions over tne stream and raise the embankments so as to confine the wa ter in its proper channel, they will not de- sefve to get the sympathy or aid of the public in repairing he damages. It is mo- torious that the R R. cu,vert is en tirely inadequate to pass through the water in a time of freshet and it should be enlarg- ed and the channel of the stream strength ened at that point. The cost of filing up and repairing damages would make it en- tirely safe for the future 94 s" s,t ..

The Way.

The following from the New York Star
Is the key to the true secret of success in
the efforts now being made by women to
obtain their rights. Woman must show a
disposition to do something first, then the
way will be cleared before her as fast as
she is disposed to enter upon it. Activi-
tv is life, and idleness is death not only
so to men, but equally so as to women
Let them learn the great necessity of the
elevation of themselves, their sex and
their race, and the place for its display
will not be long wanting:
women may hold meetings, and talk
and pirate of wrong till the crack Of doom,
but the matter will not be helped until
they prove that they honor labor for la
boris sake, and learn to show no less re-
spect at any rate, to the girl who binds for
living, than to the fine lady who rolls
through the park in her carriage. Labor
must be honored, in the first place, and
then women must be taught to fill places
of labor and honor. Girls must be taught
that it. is disgraceful and contemplate
for them to loll and laze about the house
as it would be for their brothers to idle
and lounge in the streets; that woman
loafer is as disgraceful as a man loafer;
then some reformation may be expected,
and not till then"

a candidate for the State Senate for the
counties of Wayne, Davis, Jasper and
Clark, was held at Shubuta, on the I'd
inst.
The Meridian Mercury says that full
delegations were in attendance from all
the counties, composed of both black and
white.
But two names were put before the
body-O. B. Collins, of Clark, and w.
H. Hardy, of Jasper. Mr.. Collins re-
ceived fattering support from the Con-
vention, but, as it was considered polite
by the Convention to nominate man of
Jasper, Capt. Hardy was selected.
During the Convention, Capt Hardy
delivered an address which was well re-
ceived, and, especially, by the colored
people present. He told them, he conce-
ded to them civil and political rights equal
with the white men.
IF elected he expected to move for a

of the laborer in collecting wages.

from his summer visit TO Europe, accOmpa-
MED b. some sixty odd Swedes-his cOun-
trymen and countrywOmen-wh have left
their own crowded country, to cast their lots
and better their fortunes in this new land OF
the West. OF the number mentioned. some
ten couples are married, the rest are young
men and women, and children. The men
are all intelligent, skilled laborers. All are
industrious, and ready TO turn their hands
to any honorable and useful occupation. by
which to make living. We understand
that two young Swedish maidens, long
betrothed to couple ofthe young men who
came out a year or two ago, are of the COM
pany just arrived. OF course, there was
great joy in "Newtown" on the occasion of
their safe arrival.
We understand that Col. Sam Tate, of the
Southern Railroad Association, has arranged
with Mr.. Berglund to bring out, at an early
day, 200 more of his Swedish countrymen,
all experienced Railroad operators. We also
learn from Mr.. Berglund that he has made
arrangements with the people of Sweden.
