out, but had not quite reached the rivel
proper, ere the boat capsized and the occu
pants came near finding watcry graves, bu
fortunately the limbs of friendly tree re
ccired them and they scrambled up it!
trunk out of reach of the water. Here
however, they were not much better situated
for their boat had Aoated away and they hat
no visible means Of escape from theirperilous
situation. Their cries, after some hours
attracted the attention persons, who pro
cured another boat and after great difficulty
succeeded in rcscuing them in half frozen
condition, it being just this season of the
year, and very cold.
On Saturday, two little boys, one white
and the other colored, went down on the dam
or level to hunt rabbits, which the water had
run out OF their hiding places in great num-
bers, and while engaged in the pursuit,
unfortunately fell or slipped into the water
which had broke the dam and was running
through the gap very swiftly, and the color
ed boy was drowned A tree, near by, saved
the white boy, who managed to cxtricate
himself and came into town with his story
Parties went down and recovered the body.
Asa matter of course, the rail fences were
utterly demolished, and judging from the
number floating all around in the water, the
"fcnce law" prevails here at present, whether
adopted by the Legislature or not. Bridges,
too, unless strongly secured, also Jared badly,
and the County Commissioners will be COM
pelled to take active measure to have those
on the public highways replaced, in order
that travel may be resumed.
While everything else was water bound,
the little Isis" was plying back and forth
very merrily and it was at one time proposed
to run her up into the heart of the Town, but
the experiment was not made, owing, we
presume to the benevolent disposition of the
CAPTAIN and the great reluctance which he
felt to frightcn the dcnizens of this rural
village, by such novel and soul quaking
proceeding The alarm was raised that the
Isis" had been wrecked on "Peay Ridge"
bat our reporter after due and dligcnt in
quiry, was unable to find the author of the
report, and We are forced to the conclusion
that it was false alarm. "
Coming down, however to real statistics,
we have been Informed by a reliable gentle
man, that the water reached four inches higL-
er than has been known here fortwcntyycars,
and places were covered which are usually
not reached by very high water. Up to the
time We go to press. the river is still high
and travel can scarcely be said to have been
resumed

SINKING SLoWLY.-Diseascs that pro-
gress rapidly to crisis are not the only ones
to be dreaded. Canker or dry rot does not
! blast tree as suddenly as stroke Of light
ming, but unless arrested it destroys it as
certainly; and in like manner chronic debili-
ty, although it does not kill with the swift
ness Of yellow fever, is as sure to sap the
springs Of life eventually as any acute dis
case. if not checked by invigorating midica-
ton. There is something inexpress:b!y
touching in the spectacle of premature de-
cay. Lsnguor, pallor, cmaciation, depres-
sion of spirits and distaste for exertlon,
are its ordinary symptoms, and they should
be promptly met by tonic treatment. The
best inyigorant aud exhilcrant that can be
administered in case Of this kind is Hos,
letters Stomach Bittcrs. The stimulating
principle of the preparation rouses the dor
mant energies of the eystem, and the strength
cning and regulating properties give per-
manert and hsalthful impulse to the vital
forces thus brought into play. The fallen
appetite is re-awakened, the process Of diges-
ton and assimilation are quickened, the
quality Of the blood is improved, the secre,
tions become more natural, and every organ
that contributes to the nourishment Of the
body undergoes salutary change, BY these
means the repair Of the physical structure is
effected and its health and vigor restored
In no class of disease has the benefcent op
Grafton of the Bittcrs been more marked and
striking than those characterized by genera

very seriously damaged by raft which was

about week ago. Coming in contact with
the centre of the bridge, the raft swept away
ninety-thrcs feet of it, thereby rendering it
