Suicide of a Dog,

Policemen Smith tells US of singular
act perpetrated by small dog of the COM
mon cur species, owned 10y family on the
south side TIE dog and cat had been
brought up together and affiliated better
than dogs and cats generally do. A week
ago the cat sickened and died. The dog
missed its companion very much and for
some days went about the house whining
pitiously and seeming to call for its miss
ing mate as we'll as searching every place
for it. If offered food it would take it to
the door Of the little kennel where both had
slept and laying it down would whine for
the missing cat to come and eat. Finding
that the cat did not come the animal re-
fused to eat, nor could coaxing or petting
induce it to. Yesterday afternoon the dog
was seen by the family wandering about
the yard, whining more pitiously than
ever and of sudden to throw itself into
cistern, the cover of which had been left
OH for few moments. A member of the
family made all haste to getthe animal out
and when he did so the poor, faithful,
mourning friend was dead as a stone,-had
taken It's own life from sorrow and regret.
Mr. Smith truly says, that if anybody can
beat this for dog story and a true one
too, let him make his report at once, and
we feel good deal after the opinion of the
story teller.-EUening Wisconsin,.

Southwest Of Nantes, the balloon began TO tall

Fortunately he had several packages of news
papers, which answered the purpose, and he
was not obliged to throw over his letters or
sacrifice anything valuable.
The balloon then rose rapidly and was car
rled along to point near Dreux in the Depart
meut of Eureet Lo ire, many miles west oil the
Prussian lines
Tssauder descended slowly until he came
within hailing distance of few peasants,
whom he now saw for the first time. They
assured him that there was NJ danger OF cap
ture, as no Prussians had Yet been seen in the
neighborhood.
Tssauder therefore alighled on reaching an

taken to the p. o. at Drcux. whence they
will be forwarded in all directions wherever

IHE FRESHET.-A tremendous treShet Is
now prevailing 10 the'Potomac. 1t commenced
about one o'clock last night, and at three
O'Clock this evening was increasing in violcuce.
The river is filled with debris of teaces, bridges
and houses, iuterspcrsed with boats adritt, bar.
rels of -four, mola ,sas aud vinegar, and bed
steads, bedding. cradles. turniurc, aud farm
ing utensils. The tide has not reached the
height of former ircshets, though some OF tho
to be stronger. Llrg, numbers Of men have
been engaged since daylight this morning in
collecting vauabes from the surging food.
The Chain, bridge above Georgetown, has
been swept away, aud portions Of it now lie
against the Long bridge, which structure has
also been considerably injured-a long boat
adrift having been driven agaiost it with such
force as to carry away S )me of the under braces
--and the water b,ins - high as to loosen
others. A train OF cars passed overit as usual
early this morning for the through passengers
from the north. but before seven o'c!ock it had
been 80 weakened that the train could not re-
cfoss it, and travel has been entirely suspend
ed over both the RAILROAD and wagon bridges.
The c.usawsy this side of the bridge Is sub.
merged from the tavern at ,cksou City to the
Columbian turnpike, and the bridge on it has
been washed out.

which time the food had not reached this city.
Passengers from Front Royal report the rise
in the Shenandoah as more rapid than ever
known before, and mention the washing away
OF mills and houses. aud unhappiy, the LOSS of

No train from Lynchburs has arrived here
since Wednesday night, and the locomotives
and cars are scattered all along the road, but
they run regularly as far as Gordohsvi'le and
Front Royal. Through passengers are sorely
put out anil many of them after reaching here
by tho ferry boats dispose Of their tickets and
seek other routes.
The Chesapeake aud Ohio Canal is thought
to have sustained serious damages, as ior long
portions of the line its banks are oVerflowed.
Breaks are already reported at Hancock and
Knoxville.
The travel between this city and Washington
is now restricted to the ferry boats, which make
regular trips, but which have to use hawsers
in leaving the slip; and the mails are carried
on them.
The report that tho dead body OF man had
been seen among the debris of the current
rushing by here this evening is incorrect.
The food is caused by the water from the
Shenandoah, as dispatch just received here
states that the Potomac above Harper's Ferry
is not high.
