A FLOOD AT CAvENDIsH.-Fors sever
al days we have been favored with boun-
tiful showers, but though considerable
rain has fallen, the streams have not
risen to any considerable degree. On
Sunday evening a severe shower visited
us, confined mainly3 to the vicinity OF
Twenty Mile stream, near its source. The
stream ro.e rapidly and was some two
feet higher than at the time of the great
freshet of 80. On the upper part OF the
stream two new bridges were swept away,
the waterycutting around the dams at
Ordway's and Adams mile, tearing out
the road in many places, and doing mucn
damage. At Whitesville, near the mouth
of the stream, the water carried away
considerable part of the new mill owned
bv VIM. B. Davis, and some 200 feet OF
his pen-stock, injuring him some S2OOO or
more. Some so rods below the this mill
was a new bridge, erected some two years
ago. costing about $500, which was swept
away.
But little rain fell at WhitesVille OF
Cayendish during the afternoon and even
ing. and the main stream, Black river, at
midnight, when the damage was done
showed no indications of high water.
Considerable sympathy is manifested
for Mr.. Davis, who bad just got his mil
in running order and was beginning tt
realize some benefit therefrom.
Nothing has been heard from the heat
of the stream, and no doubt some damage
has been done there, which will be dull,

OswEGo sCHooLs.-It is well known
that the city of Oswego takes considera-
bic credit to herself for having what they
consider model schools, and it is also
generally considered that this claim is
justified by the circumstances. From
late report of the Board of Education, In
the Times, we observe that the expense of
maintaining the schools during the past
year, was 52,76460. This we consider
pretty steep for a city of less than TWEEN,
ty.five thousand inhabitants, and may be
taken as proof of the liberality of the
people in the cause of education.

FIRE About four clock Monday
morning our community was again
startled by the alarm of fire, which Is De-
coming of unusual frequency OF late'
The occasion of the alarm was the dis
covery of fire issuing from small barn
connected with a tenement on west
street adjoining the marble works OF W.
N. Oliver, and owned by J. W. Cramton.
The barn contained a quantity OF hay,
and from its combustible character the
flames spread with great rapidity, and
the entire structure was soon a sheet OF
fire. The barn was closely connected
with the dwelling house by small shed,
and the fire in short time spread to the
main building. The timely arrival, how
ever, of Washington Engine Company
No. 2, who were soon disputing the pro-
sress of the flames, aided shortly after by
a stream from the steamer, arrested the
fire before the dwelling was entirely con-
sumed, although left in such a ruined
state as to be of little value.
| Inc Darn WAS OCCuplOo W oNSNk
Aud & Co., as stable for horses, and sc
rapid was the progress of the flames, thai
one valuable animal was consumed. MIR
All. Cadier, a teamster in the employ o.
Aud & Co., was sleeping in the haylof
at the time of the breaking out of thu
fire, and barely had time to escape by
jumping from the window, receiving
slight injuries in making his hasty exit
Aud & Co.'S loss, including the horse
hav. harness and robes, will amount Il
about 1915, on which there is an insur
ance of $175. A neighbor living oppo
site. also lost sleigh, harness and robes
valued at 800, on which there wasno in
surance.
The house was occupied by Timoth.
Murphy and Edward Cutler, with thei
families. The furniture was removes
without material damage.
Mr.. Cramton had an insurance c
81 $50 on the property, in the Vernon
Mutual, which will probably cover til
loss.
Concerning the origin of the fire, ther
are conflicting opinions, some parties b
lieving that it was the work of an incer
diary, and others that it was accidental
e set by the person sleeping there. III

TAN ON BANK CAPITAL,-An impor-
tant question has arisen respecting State
and municipal tax on the capital OF
bank. The officers of bank in Pennsyl-
vania have written to Secretary Boutwell,
stating that the city authorities in which
the bank il located have assessed tax OF
three mills on the dollar of their capital
They claim exemption from payment OF
this tax upon the ground that their CAPT
tai il represented by the bonds of the
new funded loan, and are, consequently,
exempt from taxation. TIE matter has
been referred to the Attorney-Genera,
and his decision will set at rest the nu'
mcrou- questions upon the subject which
are daily received at the Treasury.

not without reason, to be with view OF
forming a military expedition to Cuba.
That some active service is intended Is

that the men designed for the expedition
are especially sought for among the par
Elephants of the expedition to the Red
