mr. Lynch's Services and Reputation

The Daily AdUertiser of yesterday published
the following communication in regard to the
Representative from the First Congressional
District:

and back, made many travelling acquairtances
from many different States. Conversation fire.

Lynchr 1 learned upon that Journey, if |
did not know before, that Mr.. Lynch was one
OF the few members of the lower House who
had won for himself national reputation for
ability, sound common sepse and unexcelled
business qualifications.
In Western or Southern District the idea
OF setting aside such Representative as Mr.
Lynch 80 long as he would be willing to serve
Sns1aa %anid, not be entertained. OF Mr.. Lynch's
desires In THIS respect am not informed, bav-
ing but slight acquaintance with him. and
not enjoying the confidence of his intimate DO
lit:cal associates, but believe that the great
mass of the voters of the First District will not
consent that Mr.. Lynch should retire. simply
because there are several towns, or a whole
county even, that have not had the honor of
claiming the residence of the Representative
for a number of years past.
he must be bold man who, Simply because
ne deems 1t his turn to be sent, or the turn OF
his county or town to send a representative,
should be willing to substitute in the next Con-
gress his own necessarily comparatively insig-
nificant influence, for the extended and power
full influence which Mr.. Lynch has won by
three terms of faithful service. The compari-
sons which the country at large would ineyita-
Diy draw for a year or two at least between
such an one and Mr.. Lynch would be anything

1t is probable that the Middle States-New
York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Della
ware-would lose about the same number of
members, though, of course, their proportion
ate loss would be considerably less, as they
have now sixty-one members. Possibly Ohio
might lose one member, but all the other
Western States would gain. We are glad to
learn that there is not much prospect that
this il[arranged measure will go through the

TERRIBLE RAvAGEs OF SMALL Pox AMONG
THE INDIANs.-Commissioner Parker, of the
Indian Bureau, has received letter from
Gen. Alfred Sully, Superintendent of the Mon.
tana Indians, in which he reports that the
ravages made by small pox among the Gros
Vent-es and Assiniboin tribes have been sc
great as to almost exceed belief. By Gen
Sullys letter it appears that since last Sep
tember to the first of February, when the
small pox broke out among the Gros Ventres
there have been 741 deaths, which leaves only
about twelve hundred of this nation alive
What makes this calamity still more to be de-
plored is, that, of all the Indians in Montana
the most friendly toward the whites and among
the Indians most disposed to accept civiliza
tion are the Gros Ventres, and they have suf
fered terribly. At one time the deaths at the
agency were SO rapid that the few men there
could not dig graves fast enough They had te
fill up the ice near the fort with the dead and
then cover them up. 1t was fortunate tha,
the weather was cold, otherwise it would have
been necessary to abandon the agency i
further appears that when the disease was al

in the ice-cold water. The consequence was
that many took cold from the exposure and

contain more particulars of the frightful storm
at Buenos Ayres on the 9th of March The
wind blew hurricane and the water flooded
great portion of the city. Men and horses
were drowned in the streets, and many people
barely escaped with their lives. A great num-
Der OF buildings were undermined, which sub
sequently were entirely destroyed by the
weight of goods in them. Ships were driven
ashore and wrecked or sunk at their anchors.
Many sailors were drowned. The damage was

nriI o0 1870

Mr.. EDlTOR,-The water of the Saco riy er is
higher than it has been since the great freshet
in 1843, and it is approaching the mark which
it reached in 1914 when nearly everything was
swept away along its banks from its source to
the ocean. A barn was carried away yester-
day little above the village which occasioned
some alarm lest it might strike the supports OF
some of the mills. Last night building at
tached to one fthe mills on Hollis side of the
river, containing some machinery, was carried
of the mark Of the highest water of 1843, and
early this morning it has risen IL inches, and
is still on the rise. There is great apprehen-
sion that the mills will go and great destruc-
ton of property will follow. V.

the children, accompanied by Father Terry and
suitable number Of teachers, left Ottawa for
Golden, via La Sale. At La Salle, the cars
on the Illinois Central r. R., intended for their
use, were found in readiness, awaiting their
pleasure The train left La Sale at midnight,
and after very pleasant ride, the party reached
Golden by II o'clock next;day. Here they were
received by Mr.. Walker and large number of
his friends and neighbors, and escorted to the
hotel where sumptuous dinner awaited them.
After dinner the party were distributed among
many different families in Golden and vicinity,
who entertained" them with the utmost liber.

formal reception was given them by Mr.. Cole

the party were again sumptuously entertained
in picnic style, the whole neighborhood turning
out to assist in waiting upon them. Then they
were taken through a number of the finest fruit
