DEAR INDEPENDENT.-I arrived at
this city last Saturday evening, Lincoln

rapidly growing, society is excellent
here. The new Public school building
is finished; it cost $4,000, this they
have besides the college which cost
$4,000. l can 90 out from this
town in five different directions by rail,
and soon they gro to have several other
roads.
Great preparations are making, here
fer a good old fashioned 4th of July
celebration. Thousands of people will
come in on the different roads
Crops look well all over the country
Wheat will probably go twenty bu per-
acre. Rail road land is selling OFF ev-

suit of high taxes.

HOOKING FLOOD.

Athens, Chic, July 6.-The Heck
ing has been on The rampage. The
heavy rains of The ID. 81. 4th inst
have produced a food in the Hook
ing Valley which far exceeds any
thing within the memory of that pc
culiar individual, the oldest inhabit-
ant. There is not a vestige uf bot
tom land from the head Of the river
to its mouth that has not been sub
merged. The grass, wheat, corn and
oats crop on the river farms from
Hush Creek to the Ohio River are ru-
ined. The damages to the crops
alone in this Valley will reach far IN
to the hundreds Of thousands: and
when you add to that the loss offences
bridges and other property, the fig
ures will be fearful to complete.
The damages at the salt works Of
Joseph Herrold is estimated by the
proprietor atSI0, 600. [ have been in
formed that the Salina Works Of
GOuld & Co. lost 5000 barrels Of
salt. have not heard from the Ew-
ing Works at Chauncey. A million
Of dollars will not make good the
loss to the people Of Hooking Valley
by this storm and flood.
The railroad is so much injured
that il will not run for week.

Crops IN Virginia.

The wheat harvest, With a few ex-
ceptious, Is over, and will be ihresbed
out and ready for make; in a few
days. TIE yield is more than an ay-
ersge. and the quality Of the grain
was never better. The Oat harvest has
Just commenced. and from what &c
have seen, is the best crop We have
had since 1869, though the area IN
cultivation is not so large. They we're
offered here at so cents per hundred
a few DAYS ago. to be delivered after
harvest. The greater part Of the to
bacco crop has been planted out, aud
is Standing well. The farmers have
found out that the tobacco crop,
though it requires much labor, Is
more profitable than the grain crops,
hence the area planted this year is
larger than usual. Corn, although
it is somewhat later than usual, is
looking vigofous, and promises good
yield. The recent heavy rains have
caused geee:q;ica Of all kinds to re
vive; and all oflhe crops bid fair to
be much more renuuerative TO the
Industrious husbandnsn then they
have been for several years -SeotsgHLC

The LoriIlard Line-Lease of a Wharf

We sre authorized TO state that WIN. II.
OIL ESQ, the agent Of the Lori!lards, Of

ship Company fgt the opposition line to
EeB York. The new line will 60 into
operation October 1t, and will at first
consist Of two steamers, 20 be speedily
followed b. two others.
These ships are to be constructed esp"
cially for the trans pCriaticn Of trucks,
the ventilation being such &C 20 insure an
abundance of fresh air on the freight
decks. Suction pumps vii. take CT the
tout gases rs they rise from the fruits
and vegetables, keeping them pure and
sweet. Il is claimed tha, by this method
trucks can be landed 10 New York II os
good condition as when shipped. The
steamers will he screw prorellers, and
constructed OF wood, as it Is thought iron
steamers are not well adapted TO the con-
geyance of green truck. Communication
with Richmond will be by means OF s,eam
barges.
The report that the Loriliaris had
bought the new steamship Commerce TO
put on this line was incorrect. They viii
build al the steamers they may waat for
the line, which will he . .ri-veekly one

accomplished fact, and shippers and
truckers can rejoice at the prospect Of
competition reducing freight charges.

She ordered him 10 cease his Wits TO her

herself with cowhide OF the most approx
