The Flood at Washington.

About 2o'clock the Easements Of many
of the residences on the south side of
Pennsy lvania avenue, between Four-and
a-half and Seventh streets, were over
flowed, but those living therin had taken
time by the forelock and removed their
goods to more convenient quarters.
An immense throng Of people gathered
at the Long Bridge to watch the rushing
waters. At o'clocd in the morning the
last train Of cars had passed over it. Tray
ell wa s early suspended over it and the
turnpike bridge, and the current brought
down immense quantities of lumber and
drift wood, which pressed against the
bridge on this side, and seriously threat
ened to force it away. At least five hun
dred feet of the causeway on the Virginia
side was swept away, and the water rush
ed through in an angry torrent. The
two spans nearest the south draw broke
away and the draw swung around sever
al feet. The Alexandria railroad track.
between the bridge and Roach's springs,
has been swept away for about five hun
dred feet, and the current is rushing over
the road in full tide. The trestle work
under the railroad bridge, to consider
able extent, has been carried away and
made it unsafe TO walk over.

WASHINGTON, Penn. pc
Dear Sirs During residence of some
ten years as q missionary in Siam and China,
| found your Vegetable Pain Killer d most
valuable remedy for that fearful scourgo, the

In administering the medicine I found it
most effectual to give teaspoonful of Pain
Killer in q gill of hot water swcetenei with
sugar ; then, after about fifteen mi nutes
begin to give about a teaspoonful of the same
mixture every few minutes until relief was
obtained: Apply hot applications to the
extremities. Battle the stomach with the
Pain Killer, clear. and rub the limbs briskly
OF those who had the Cholera, and took the
madeleine faithfully in the way stated above,
eight out of ten recovered.
Truly yours,

The crew of the Little Hansa, com
panion vessel of the Germania, the princi,
pal vessel of the second German North
Polar expedition, have just returned to
Germany, after tbs loss OF. their vessel,
Fand passing extreme hardships. The
two vessels went out from Bremerhayen
in June, 1869, the steamer Germania in
command of Captain Koldewey, and the
sailing ship Hansa, under the Command of
Captain Hagermann. The following tele.
gram was received in Bremen, dated
Copenhagen, Sept "The Hansa was
crushed by ice on the 10Th of October,
1869, on the east coast of Greenland in
seventy-one degrees north latitude. The
crew are saved and in good health in

arrived by the ship Constance, thirteen
persons in all. They gave the following
account of their voyage and perils; The
Hansa was fast in the lee on the 9Th of
ISeptember, 1869, lin seventy-four degrees
north latitude and seventeen degrees west
longitude,) and on the 10Th of October

she was left by the crew, who took refuge
with their boat upon an immense ice
field. They spent two hundred DAYS
upon this floating mass, partly in a house
built of coal, partly in small boat, and
during this time were driven two hundred
and fifty geographical miles southwark.
The ice field was at first nearly seven
geographical or German y miles in cir
conference, but decreased day by day
until at last it had only circumference
of two hundred yards. They finally got
in the sixty-frst degree, and alter a seven
days voyage, they arrived on the 18th of
June at the settlement of ederichstahl. :,

TEXAS CATTLE FOR FEEDING.-The
San, published at the Union Stock Yards,
near this city says: We have frequently
been asked the question, Are Texas
cattle good for anything as feeders ?
From the best information we have been
able to obtain, we should say they are as
good feeders as could be desired, if they
can be treated in a proper manner,
Some three years ago last May, we saw
some thirty head of Texas castle in these
yards, that had been properly fed in
Missouri the average weight of this lot
was 1,527, and we have seldom seen a
fatter lot of cattle than these were; the
price realized for them was $3.50. We
understand from residents of Texas, that
great numbers of these cattle when first
herded for their journey to the North,
will weigh from 1900 to l,400 lbs, but
in making this the long trip to this
market, they drift down to 100 and less
With proper treatment they can no
doubt be brought to their original weight,
but to do this, they will have to be shell
tered from our hard winter weather.

THE FETLOCK JOINT OF THE
I,g.s IN o1fa 4 HORSE. 5' ,sa ~

There is, perhaps, no individual part
of the body of the horse more interesting
or more important to the horseman, than
the fetlock joint, and none, certainly,
which demands or engages more attens
lively the minute examination OF the
practised eve. It is, indeed, the good or
bad formation of this part which makes
the difference, and frequently the only
difference between one animal worm I'VE
hundred and another worth only one
hundred. d ~ ;.
Important, however, as this JOINT is, II
is vet one of the most difficult for the
amateur to examine when purchasing Oh
an ordinary dealer; the animal Is kept
SO constantly in fear of the lash, that,
however knuckling he may be on MS
Joints. the excitement of fear prevents
his exhibiting his weak points The
best Way to examine the fetlocks proper
~ is to approach the animal quietly IN
the stable, and whilst apparently looking
at his eyes, or into his mouth, to east our
own organs of vision down to his tetloek
Joints, when, if he totters and shakes,
however good his other qualities may be,
he is not an animal of great value, being
in all probability unsafe to ride, and
likely to fail in these joints from work.
1t matters very little whether the horse
was, as the dealer generally says he was,
foaled SO, because the fault is by no
means less from being natural. Horses
with this upright fetlock may not be
disposed to trip or hit their toe oftener
than many others; but, should they do
SO, they are probably at once thrown of
their balance and come down with great
force. Connected with this too upright
and tottering fetlock, we often see the
fexor tendons badly developed and
bound in at the knee.-Prairte Farmer.
