The Milton IN. C) Chronicle says:
"Fhe principal topic OF conversation the
past week has been the Iato freshet,
which was truly distressing. The tide
commenced rising last Wednesday very
rapidly, ut the rate Of l - feet oil hour
for 24 hours. till it reached 81 feet above
low water mark-the highest water
since l795. and six inches higher than
the big freshet of August, 1850. The
water III the Milton bridge was u inches
deep, and it came very near carrying it
oil. Shelton's mill was undermined and
the grist part of the mill washed away,
the saw mill injured, and about 10000
feet OF lumber swept OF. The losses up
and down Dan River are very heavy, es-
timated at $4,000. Tho low grounds
ore washed terribly; the damage to tho
wheat crop is great, and it will be neces-
sary to replant corn. We are happy 10
state no lives were lost, though We lear

The latest social custom that has be.
come fashionable in New York is to give
theatre parties. A correspondent of the
Boston Post says of them: "Dinner
parties are not very new or exciting.
Kettle drums may do for Boston, but
they can never be made. successful
mode of entertainment in New York.
80 theatre parties are instituted, and are
just now the rage. A lady invites a
party to IN early dinner, and then of
they 60 to the theatre, often dining in
full dress. making the usual sombre- clad
audience fairly brilliant with their silks
and Jewels. Or else, il the dinner party
Is dispensed with, tho theatre comes
hrst' and after that jolly supper. So
New York amuses itself. Was the fa-
shion OF theatre parties set by the ma
nagers?"

English CooIness.

Don Piatt in the Capital, tells the fol-
lowing story of an English colonel whom
he met during the late war; This English
man had been fighting in all sorts of
wars, in every part Of the globe, for and
against everybody and every cause. His
cool disregard of danger, and at the same
time his anxiety to get into quiet places
and comfortable quarters, afforded us
infinite amusement. At the battle of
fredericksburg Captain Myers, of the
volunteer artillery, found himself in a
very exposed position, where he was
doing no good, although he used due
diligence, and fired away from his one
battery in response to the concentrated
FIRE of halfa dozen. Whilst thus engaged,
and worried to see his men and horses
killed, Colonel M. rode up. .
"Hawt work, Captain" remarked the
new. conner, refining in his steed.
"Deyilsh hot was the response. =, i.
Never saw such a day, Captain;
don't like it, you know. I've been rather
unfortunate While crossing that blarsted
river lost me coffeep pot. I've had that
coffee-pot ell through India and South
America, and now I've lost it. | don't
know what I'll do without that coffee
pot tnnlF .ffL f.ls ~ Z
"Td like to know what I'm kept here
for, unless they want my battery de-
stroyed, ! interrupted the Captain. y
Aw Captain, beg pardon; that
monkey OF an Adjutant sent me here to
order you out. The General says you re
doing no good here; better get out, you
know"
"Damnation, why didn't you give me
the order2 I've lost two men and three
horses while you talked about a damned
coffee-pot." )"
Never mind, Captain; beg pawdon.
I'll help you. Well soon get out OF
range of the beggars. But an old cam
paigner cannot lose his coffee-pot, you
know
Further discourse was interrupted by
a shell, that, exploding, blew up cais-
son and tumbled all that was left OF the
concern down the decliyity in the rear.
Colonel NJ. extricated himself from a
dying horse, and, walking away, grpm-
bled

Aauser Business.

The Pail Mall Gazette finds subject
for speculative inquiry, or for poem,
in an incident mentioned by the Shetland
Times. On Saturday, July 9th, hsh-
ing-boat's s crew brought TO land large
draueht of fish at the deep-sea fishing
station called Fathaland, in Shetland.
Among them was large ling, which
when opened was found to countain a
human left hand, perfectly entire. De
eomposition had not set in, and 1t is
therefore thought that the hand cannot
have been long swallowed by the fish,
and from its rather small size and the
absence of all traces OF bard work, i is
supposed TO be that Of lady. The
hand has been carefully buried, and the
fish was destroyed, (which seems mis-
take, says the Gazette, "in CONNER
cial point Of view, for If stuffed and ex-
hibited in London as the ling in whose
nav mysterious hand had been found,
hundreds Of persons would doubtless
have Waited the exhibition, aud the vo-
racious hsh Woald hsYe become almost
