HIGH WATER BRINGING DOWN THE RATS.
The excessive rains have had at least one good
result-the mountain streams in the lumber re-
gions have all made heavy freshets, and the logs
and RATS have come down, freely. The Lock
Haven Republican says that the flood in the
West branch of the Susquehanna, which began
on Sunday, the 4th inst, was very eerviceable to
the raftsmen and log drivers. Logs and timber
began running the next day, and from that time
until Sunday last business was very lively. 1t is
estimated that at least two hundred and fifty
RATS went down, one hundred and ninety-ive OF
which were square timber and the balance board
and log RATS. The river has not been so thor
oughly cleared for many years it is at present
All the logs are in from the creeks. Old logs
that have been lying along their banks for three
or four years have gone down, as has also every
raft. The number of RATS this year has fallen
short of those of last year by about six hundred,
and it is estimated that the falling off in new
logs amounts to 100, 100000 feet. But the old
logs will fully make up this deficiency, and ena-
BILE our lumbermen to furnish their usual supply
to the market.

large number sitting in the aises and win

nearly full. 30 great an audience " the finest

ent we're attentive and sympathetic to a marked
degree az " The Cricket" entered in the first
scene, there was hearty outburet of applause
and glance over the sea of faces showed every
one turned toward the stage,Japt, attentive, and

play of feature aud eye that all present we're
closely and sympathetically enjoying every word

The support, which is given by the Company
now playing, to the central figure, is better than
that afforded year ago. The character of Father
BGrbeau, instead Of that OF Landry is now taken
by Mr. Shewell, and il 10 more suitable to his fig
use and manner, il not to his talents. Neither
part affords him much opportunity. Mr. Eberle
gave much more spirited Didier than we had
year ago and the company Of young girls in the

snd Drowning Ca.e.

DROWNING OF A WIFE AND MoTHER-wA5 IT BY AC.
oIDENT, OR WAS IT INTENTIONAL?
A sad case of drowning occurred, yesterday, in
the neighborhood of Seaford, the facts of which
have not been, and probably never will be, fully
developed. Abraham Cannon, in company with
his wife and little child were returning home in
a carriage, and when at Cannon's Mill pond, the
lady alighted leaving the child on the carriage
seat beside her husband. Not returning in a
reasonable time, Mr.. Cannon got out of the car
riage and went in search of his missing wife.
He had searched but few minutes, however,
when he discovered her in the water in the mill
pond, with life entirely extinct.
1t is question whether the drowning was
caused by accident or was q premeditated affair.
The family is of the most respectable standing
in the community, and no one ever knew of any
but the most happy feelings existing between
the members thereof.
The above are the facts of the cas- g as report
ed to us by parties direct from Seaford.
