DESTRUCTIVE Transformations In
rRyp--BRIDGES WASHED AwAY.-Thcre
ha> been during the past week the most de-
>tructive rain-Storm in the lower part OF
this county, and the edge OF Granville and
Warren, i'll North Carolina, known for forty
Years. The rain commenced on "Wednesday
night the 18th instant. there being Il shower,
'tlt heavy rain set in on Thursday about
Hnnn. and continued all night. almost all
lay ana all night Friday, and a few showers
on saturday. The small streams in the re-
zion mentioned above were Swelled more
than ever known before. The crops on the
creek luw-grounds suffered greatly, and the
wheat. especially where it WAS of rank
.lnWth. WAS much OF it beaten fiat to the
round. and will doubtless be destroyed i'll
4 -rrat measure.
Oats and corn in the low-grounds were
Wt>lird out or beaten fiat. aud great deal
IT th" corn will have TO be rerlantcd. One
-rnilrman in the neichborhood OF town had
i've acres Of corn destroyed on very small
,r.rk, and the damage on the larger creeks
mus, have been immense.
\ Great many bridges were swept away,
including the one over Grassy creek at
Hughc>'S mill, every one on NutbuSh
creek and many OH Island and other creeks.
The stone railroad bridge on the he'd OF
the oid Roanoke Valley railroad over Nut
bush was washed away. leaving the abut-
r,..nt on the lower bank standing. AT
>n.ld'> mill the water was seven feet over
tn, ll"or OF the bridge.
This will cost our farmers thousands OF
,lnllarS. and make large difference in our
wheat Nnrksrihc Roaa0kc Valley.
RArx.-It has been raining here almost in
,-->antiv for the last week. doing the wheat
uo litrl" damage. rs much Of it has been
knocked down. which will require many
day, Of hot SUI 10 bring up again. Much
81 il in this nci~hhorhood was very pro-
missing before the rain. The oats, corn, and
grass. promises IN abundant yield. The

lection when VIC had Il finer prospect for an

Secretary Stanton $4,000 as "a gratuity,
that being the amount OF the first year $
salary as Associate Justice of the Supreme

had been appointed Il few days before his
death Chicago Journal.

insured for $4,000, and his admirer,
raised forty or fifty thousand for the widow
by subscription. The fat goose is at,cays
creased; and the rich are always helped
while the poor can get along by them
selves. Let Grant give out some of his
presents. Ffeeport Bulletin.
