-- 1t is the opinion of many persons
that the late unprecedented freshet in James

continued rain, but by something like the
bursting OF a water spout on or about theil
headwaters, and their sources are not very
great distance apart. The food came down
in the Shennudoah in great waves, succeeding
each other rapidly.

REMARKABLE, IF TRUE.-TheTe are some
"old settlers" vet among us who knew Black
Hawk, the Indian, very we'll, and were cog
infant OF the tact that he died. Many were
glad of it, because while that noble chieftain
lived, they had certain unpleasant appreheu
sions as to the stability of their scalps.
As far as We know, these settlers have
always remained in darkness as to the real
cause of B. b s demise Richard Mansiil,
a residen. Of Coaltown, in Rock Island Co,
has recently thrown some light upon that
important mortusry event. From g small
work that hiss recently been published by
him, entitled Earthquakes aud Volcanic
Eruptions." on page 81, we read that
"Black Hawk died on the Sd of October,
1888 Mercury was at it's perihelion on the
I'd OF October, 1888
Hence, putting the two dates and Black
Hawk together We find the long sought for
reason for the death of that remarkable
warrior. Why the condition in which
Mercury found itself on that IN morable day
did not kill the entire Indian race is one of
the mysteries of the spheres for which we
are in no way accountable. Black Hawk
died intestate He did not live long
