The Flood.

ROCHESTER,, April s.-There is heavy food

ing the waters were within two feet of the
high water mark of 1865, the time of the big
flood. Considerable damage has been done all
along the river to bridges, &c.
ALBANY, April S.-Canal officials report
much damage from fooes to Chemung, Crook
ed Lake and Genessee Waller canals.
ST. LOUIS, April S.-Accounts from the inte-
rior of this and other States say that all the
tributaries of the upper river are pouring out
great volumes of water and general freshet is
feared. At Hannibal, Miss, the river rose
eleven feet in twelve hours and at other points
similar rise occurred, and it is feared there
will be great destruction of property all along
the western and northern rivers.
ROCHESTER,, April 81 a. m;-The only per,
person known be drowned is VIM. Pratt, aged
IL, son of L. A. Pratt. His com panion escaped

pulled out by persons who heard the report
made by the falling walls. A lad was seen
floating down the river clinging to plank, aud
it is supposed this was the youth who pershed.

The CARY CoMPLMENTARY.-Anno
ment is made this morning in our entertain
ment column of the complimentary concert
rendered to Miss Cary by committee of repre-
sentative citizens. In regard to the benefciaire
herself it seems work of supererogation to say
anything to the Portland public. Her remark
able career, her strong and attractive points of
character, her wonderful power Of personal
magnetism, and her marvellous excellence of
voice, method and manner, which have gained
her so high reputation everywhere, are well
known and appreciated here. To her can be
given the rare and valuable praise, that no.
I here is she so thoroughly popular and SO cor
daily admired as here at home. There seems
among our people feeling of personal interest
and personal friendship toward her which i:
very unusual in such cases, and it seems to be
heartily reciprocated on her part; SO that hel
appearance before Portland audience and he
reception by it appear like an interchange o
greetings among old friends. The presence o
Miss Cary alone at the concerti is abundant guar
anty to everybody of most delightful season
She will be assisted by artists whose appear
ance is always agreeable and the concert is sur
to be bright, pleasing and attractive in all re
spects. 1t will be noticed that the tickets ar
placed at the popular price of 80 and IS cent

Harry was the eldest son of Benjamin

wife. The deceased was born in Carson
City, OH the 4th day Of June, A. D. 1861,

tered upon his thirteenth year. During
the niue weeks OF his illness he received
unrenitting care and the attendance OF
the best physicians in the country, but
his sufferlngs We're SO great all felt that
death Was his relief. Being possessed
of innate MOdesty to remarkable degree
and of quiet even temper, he was
thoroughly gentlemanly toward all and
universally beloved. All who knew him
mourn his death AZ personal loss.
During the past three years he had been
constantly at school aud at the opening
hour was always in his place, in tidy APP
pearauce, Immediately bending to the
duties Of the day His tasks were learn
ed by the hardest industry, prompted by
unbounded ambition. The progress
made during these three years placed him
far in advance Of most children of his

always umpire aud known as the peace
maker. Had he lived until the meridian
of life, his perseverance, his atfabillty,
his ambition, and his fine Evolutionary

his mind would have placed him high in
the ranks of honor and fame. But all
these fond hopes of parents and friends
are now blasted and nought remains but

THE GREAT EXPLOSION.


Persons who were in the Taylor stree,
F, front of tine bank building at the time Of
the nitro-slycerine explosion on Sunda,
evening. say that the sensation produced
| was that of the north side of the building
rising and falling, the whole house rock
ing like ship lying lengthwise in Al
trough of the sea.
Our announcement Of the death OF
John Devine, who was injured in Derby :
stable by the force of the conclusion,
was premature. Devine is still alive,
on, his recover is thought to DE impos-
sibie, as his side and breast are crushed
in.
The remains of A. d. Davis one of
the victims of the explosion, will be
shipped to New York, Wells, Fargo &
Co. having received a dispatch to-day
requesting them to take charge of the
body and forward it to that city for in
terment. The body will be taken to the
cars at $50 this evening"
Ali Of the human remains that will, in
all probability, ever be found, have been
taken from the ruins of the Il street L of
the Root building. One of the feet of
Mrs. O'Connor, one of the feet of Mrs.
Dean and the body of Ben Mandel were
exhumed this morning. Mandel had
been burned to the trunk, both legs up
to the hip joints, both arms and the
head from the lower jaw upward being
entirely consumed. A short stub of one
arm, which was pressed against his side,
had preserved from the flames piece of
his night shirt. which was recognized.
The bones of the little girl could, of
course. be distinguished from their small
size. The two feet found were partially
wrapped in the end of mattress, which
had saved them from destruction. One
was large feshy fool Undoubtedly
that of Mrs. O'Connor). and the other
would abou: fill No. 21a shoe, the size
worn by Mrs. Dean. The surroundings
show that they were in bed-the two
ladies in one bed; the little girl was
sleeping on sofa in the same room.
The remains were found almost imme-
diately under where they had been sleep
ing.
The quicksilver in the basement of the
bank building was examined to-day, and
n considerable quantity of it taken ont,
and the TASKS were found perfectly cool
and damp from the water that had

BIlLIAkDs is not al. American game
regarding American productions from
the good old Know Nothing stand point
Amongst those who figured prominentl,
IN the Tournament which has just
closed at New York only the worst play
er was an American, Deery--n even h.
is. The rest are French, Irish and Ca
nadi..n>; and q man with a French
name, GARNER, came off with the first
prize. and we'll known French Cana
dian, Dion, won the second one. The
mex. best player (and prob .b!y he will
one of these days prove himself as good
rs any Of them. is Daily, IN Irishman.
So that Billiards seems to be Celtic
game-or, rather. game which COM
mends itself to Celtic study and Celtic
skill. Still, it seems as if certain de-
gree and kind Of naturalization or accli-
matization here were needed to bring ont
the practical gaming qualities of the
billiardist; for Ubassy, with all his un-
equalled skill in handling the balls, las
was Rudolph who is not to be surpassed
in the graceful aud adroit welding of the
cue.) seems lacking in the practical
play necessary to win games where great
stakes are up. This, then is the best
training ground for serious billiard play
ing, though the materials which make
the players are not native here nor to
the manner born. 1t is said. however,
that the American people play billiards
better than any other people. They
ought to, surely, for they have the best
tables and the most extensive and mag
nihcent saloons ever built to play IL.
Moreover, it is not discreditable to the
strictly native population that they have
not furnished the champions of the pro-
fessional arena wherein billiards are
played. The more sturdy and masculine
notion finds expression in the
1.-the and manly exercises which distin-
guish the Base Ball Player-and our
young men have set this game up as con-
and d-iantly as John Bull has
his cricketing. 1t is better
and more promising that our lads should
excel in an out door sport than that their
should be peculiar to an in
door game like billiards.
