Great Flood in the OswegO Rivers

OswEGO, January 27.-A dispatch from
Fulton, on the Oswego river, to the Times,
says the most extensive flood known here
for twenty years is now devastating the
lower portion Of the village, occasioned by
high water in Che river and the damming
up Of large quantities of ice on both sides
of the channel. About half mile of the
lower part of the city and all west of the
canals is covered with water from two to
seven feet deep. Sunday evening about
thirty families were obliged to leave their
homes, and many more this morning were
carried from the second story of their
houses. where they had taken refuge, by
boats. In one instance a whole family
were taken from their upstairs retreat, and
among them a very sick mother carrying a
tiny baby.
Men were seen wading in water to their
waists, carrying the women of their house
holds on their backs to place OF safety.
number of families have been cared for
by the poormas.er. Some are being looked
after by charitable citizens, and many still
need assistance. The damage done to bust
ness interests is already great. The gas
works are below water mark, so we have no
gas. Some of the flour mills are unable to
run, and there il danger that all will be
stopped.

The Post says for some time past active
efforts have been made by the managements
of the New York Central, Pennsylvania
Central and Erie roads to effect pooling
combination with uniform prices, especially
in cattle and grain freighting. Although
no decision has yet been arrived at, there
is strong expectation that the scheme will

What Two Wise Men of Gotham Think.
Police Commissioner Gardner and Chief
Matsell express the opinion that the at
tempt to burn St. Bridget's Church was the
work of the Communists, and part of con-
certed design upon all the schools and
churches in the city, particularly Catholic
institutions. Accordingly especial vigilance
is exercised by the police in their watch
over schoOlhouses and churches.

ANOTHER eRABBER CAVES.

Congressman Poland, of VT, has been
worried good deal by the honest Vernon
ters because he grabbed the back and front
pay and declared that he would never
yield to clamor and clap-trap,-but he
has found out, at last, that the people can.
not be safely defed. He has discovered
now, way to get rid of the filthy lucre
He returned his back pay to the Treasury
Jan. 81, and his letter to Gen.Spinner has
just been made public. After reviewing
the entire subject and the action OF Con-
gress upon it he closes as follows:
81 was not able to see why retroactive
increase was any more constitutions
than a retroactive decrease. That view
however, prevailed, and each man is lef
to act his own judgment If Congress ha'
decided that 81 800 was the proper salar.
for this and future Congresses, / SHOULD
have felt no scruple about retaining tn
same sum for the last Congress. Blu
they having deliberately decided that tn
old salary of 5000 is the proper sum TO
this and future Congresses, / see no pre-
priety in retaining greater sum for tn
last. As said before, the service was tn
same; the expense of living the same, an
l think the pay should be the same. Th
same reasons therefore, which induced m
to receive the increase seem now to pre-
vent my properly retaining it.

A Warning to Presidential Candidate

From the Cincinnati Commercial.
If General Joe Hawley is to have any
chance at all of being named among the
candidates for the Presidency at the next
election, he must be particularly careful
about his movements in Congress during
the present session. AS President of the
Centennial Commission, he is liable to urge
the interests of that particular thing at
the expense of the country, and to make
demands in it's behalf upon the Treasury,
that may yet arouse public indignation, and
scorch those who are responsible for them.
Joe is so good natured and generous that
he can hardly resist the solicitations of his
friends in money matters; but he must
learn to present stern front to the patriots
who stand smiling around the National
cash box. If he should see any of these
men with a stuffed spread eagle in one
hand, an American flag in the other, a
wooden ham strapped around his waist
and singing Hall Columbia. he must keeE
particularly sharp eye upon such person
even though his home be under the
shadow of Independence Hall. If he allow
himself to be used as the agent for extract
ing six or ten millions of our money out o.
the Treasury, for the Philadelphia Cen
tennial, he may yet live to cry over it.

A Good Hit.

Grand Master Adams, in his address to
the National Grange, in st. Louis, said:
When railroad is to be built, the line
of which crosses my private property, | do
not wish to have my property mutilated.
| frankly so inform the railroad. Govern
ment now steps in and very properly says
This railroad is for the development OF
the State, and, on the ground that the
public good demands its construction, you
must sell them your right of way, and we
will allow you a reasonable compensation
therefor. Now, it seems clear to me thai
the same Government which can take my
land for the public good and fix a price
therefor, can say to this railroad "Tht
public good demands that you carry
freights and persons at reasonable rates
which you henceforth must do, and we vii
decide what those rates shall be.

The registry Act.

The Republicans of the House have
shrewdly prepared bill to amend ~the
registry law, which bids fair to destroy the
hopes of the repeal of the act. 1t will be
remembered that the other day bill to
repeal failed to pass, for lack of a constitu-
tiozal majority, after which the vote was
reconsidered, and the subject matter was
recommitted. When the committee met
it was argued that they must do some
thing, and subcommittee of three was
appointed to do it; but Jones, of 10 Da-
viess, had been burning midnight oil until
he has prepared an amendment to the
present registry law, which suited I'm
der the law now in existence, the actual
cost to the State at each election is not less
than $4,000. This sum is to be brought
down to $4,000 Jones explains it in this
way: AT present there are employed
three Judges and one clerk, four days, at
SO each per day There are upward of | :
700 voting precincts in the State. He
would have three judges, one of their mum
Der to serve as a clerk, paid not to exceed
80 per day. He would have but five cop
les Of the registry law printed, where nine
are now furnished and further the bill
provides that registration shall be bienni-
ally. This afternoon. when the COMMITTEES
on elections were least expecting anything
of the kind, Jones tossed his bill into the
clerks lap 1t was read and, presto, or
dered to a second reading. When the
friends of repeal realized what had been
done, they were in peck of trouble. Mil
ton, Of Green, a member of the committee
on elections, rose to question of privilege
and moved reconsideration of the vote by
which the bill was ordered to a second
reading. He stated that the committee
had not authorized the subcommittee to
report the bill, that at a meeting of the
committee last evening this subcommittee
was appointed to prepare substitute for
the bill offered by Jones, which the sub
committee should report to subsequent
meeting of the committee, to be called by
the chairman, which subsequent meeting
had not been called and the House had
been imposed upon by a fraudulent and
unauthorized report, and had acted under
u misapprehension. This statement was
not contradicted, but the Republican side
of the House voted nearly as unit to sup.
port the fraud. -Sprinlfel Letter, Feb 6

An Indiana Romance.

From the Terre Haute Express.
She couldn't see it in that light. She
didn't want to marry him, and he was
bound she should. They both lived a
couple of miles from the city, and near
neighbors. She refused to listen to his
counting, and he grew desperate. So he
went off to the West, and while out there
persuaded a friend to write a letter saying
that he was dead, and asking, as his dying
request, that she might, if she ever went
out that way, to stop for a moment and
toss weed or perchance flower on his
lonely grave.
This was tender, but it didn't take worth
q cent; and she wrote back letter to her
friend saying that if he had any considera-
ton for her feelings at all to send her the
dead lover's watch and chain, his money,
and all his valuables. To carry out his
plans, the dead man sent home his brass
ijewelry and other effects, and she immedl-
ately proceeded to don the trinkets and
start to singing school with the chosen TEL
Ter" of her heart.
On their way back home the pair were
startled by the apparition OF the lost
lover, clad in ghostly white, but with the
old lineaments intact. The young man fed,
but the girl stood STILL and putting up q
paw which resembled an elephants foot,
naively inquired if the ghost wanted te
be kicked to death byia mule, To which
his ghostship replied thus: Lord Lord
Jerusha, hev come all the way home tc
find YOU false p "You bet" replied the
fair one, laughing heartily, for she had dis
covered that it was really the person Of hel
dead lover.
The fellow had played nice game, and
had followed his goods and chattels bacl
& to the land of his nativity very quickly
The damsel was so Disguised with the 9th
er lover for RUNNING at sight of the ghos
that she Immediately began preparations
to marry the ghost.
