The Flood in tho Shenandoah.

4 " Herald telegram dated Stanton, Oc-
tober >, says:
The freshet here WAS causel chiefly by the
rain which fell on Wednesday night. The
fall of the rain within twenty-four consecutive
hours was nine and half inches. The riv-
ers in this county were from six to ten feet
higher than has ever been known since the
settlement of the valley. Nearly all the mills
on the rivers and creeks in the county have
been either destroyed or seriously injured
There is scarcely a bridge remaining over any
stream in this part Of the valley Merchants
mills, saw mills, dwelling houses and corn
crops have been swept away. The loss is in
couceivably great, much more than the raw
ages caused by both armies during the war
The loss in this county alone will exceed a
million dollars. This freshct has been more
destructive to mills than the torch during the
war. The destruction of property was great
along South River, Middle River Christian 5
creek, Lewis creek, and every stream in the
county, as also along North river in Rock
bridge, and Shenandoah river, in Rockingham.
On the latter, Senator John f. Lewis mill
was destroyed, and the Shenandoah Iron
Works, in part owned by Hon. William Mil
mes, member of Congress from this district
suffered great damage.
At Lexington large number Of houses on
the point have been swept away by the flood,
and the damage is fearful. The village Of
Port Republic in Rockingham, has been total
" destroyed, the destruction throughout the
entire valley being immense
Palmers Valley Mills and his sons mills
were carried of also. The Mount Vernon
Mills. in which were 1000 bushels of wheat,
were a total loss The Athens Mills are an
other loss, with large quantity of -four and
wheat c. & !. NJ. ClineS mill, with 1000
bushels Of wheat, was entirely destroyed on
the South river.
Mrs. Kerr lost her dwelling, granary and
orchard Over thirty saw mills are gone in
the Valley.
vt Morris Cove Mrs. McCauley, with an
aged woman, were both swept away, their
cries being heard at points lower down the
river The other occupants of the house, nine
in number, were saved by getting on trees
where they remained until next day. During
the time they were clinging to the trees they
were shaken by the impetu1us torrents which
continued throughout the darkness of the
whole night, their position being rendered
more terrible by the pitiless and pelting
storm. 4 negro man at the cove took off his
clothes and attempted to swim across the riv-
er but the current being too strong, he took
refuge in a tree, where he remained in state
of nudity until morning, when he was rescued.

a magazine of practical utility in the house, a
mirror of the fashions, and a literary conser-
vator of surprising interest and artistic excel
ence, acknowledged to be the mcdern parlor
magazine of America
The engraving, 28x32 inches, is from the Or
iginal painting, entitled, The Picnic on the
Fourth of July
The painting took whole year, and is con-
sidered the finest of the entire list of numerous
populor productions by Lills NJ. Spencer. The
engraving was the labor Of four years, by
three eminent artists-John Rodgers Samuel
Halpin, and Samuel Holyer; The last named
having been induced to come from Europe to
finish it, The engravers have ably seconded
the successful labors of the painter. None but
artists can fully appreciate the skill and labor
lavished on this engraving The general eff
tect is very fine and impressive, and the deli
rate finish to the heads will bear tho most mi
mute inspection. The union of line and stipple
is executed with unusual ability, and their
skilful combination has greatly contributed to
the success Of the engravers in this unsurpass-
ed proof of their genius.
Thelwork on the engraving alone cost over
seven thousand dollars, besides the cost of the
copyright, and is acknowledged by competent
judges the most elaborately finished large work
of art evor engraved in America.

heavy plate paper, worth $40 each, are to be
