ONE day last week. Mr.. Stebbins, a banker Of
Atchison, was sitting in the County Treasnrer's
Office at Troy, when gentleman from the vicinity
of White Cloud stepped in to pay his taxes, which
took all the money he had. He expressed his
regret at this, and stated that he had promised to
get marriage license, for couple living near

The NeOshO river is on the rampage, having
cut itself loose from its usual restrictions and gone
to tearing through the country at random. The
heavy rains of last week caused it to be higher
than at any time since 1867; and in its rapid rise
it carried with it saw-lOgs, cord wood, rails and
everything else::that the farmers living upon its
low banks permitted to lie around loose.
