- LrMAN's HISTORICAL CHAKT.-The
4? above compendium Of historical infor-
NATION is the best thing for the student
Of history We have ever seen. IN 4
clear and succinct manner it gives :,
full chronological table Of Ill the im-
portant events that have transpired since
the earliest period down to the present
time. The maps also arc plain and
ineligible. BY Il reference to them
one can clearly observe the important
concurrent events which have happened
in contemporancous nations, the begin
ning and ending of empires, the ab-
s0rption Of one by another, and then lis
gradual waning until another OF others
! begin to build upon its ruins. This
Chart overcomes difficulty which has
always been felt by the student Of his
tory, that is. the difficulty Of remember
ing contemporaneouS events in the diff
ferent countries. The eye in this case
greatly assiststhe memory andimpresscs
the mind. We understand that Prof.
A. P. Pifer is taking subscriptions for
this Chart. The cloth bound is
worth $500 and the leather bound 800,
which strikes Us as being cheap for such
Il book. An explanatory key is given
TO each subscriber. Every one should
possess copy.

One of the effects Of the heavy rain
of last week was the raising Of Scott's
Creek to IN unprecedented height, and
beyond the memory Of the Oldest in
habitant. 1t spread ont like Il sen of
water, and the few inhabitants round
about were soon surrounded and pnt in
imminent danger of taking cold. Smith
Castle. although standing upon stills,
WAS not high enough, and the inhabi-
t;nts were obliged to hoist flag Of dis
tress-while the cattle from neighbor-
ING hills, with hogs. &C., which, had
gone to browse and root on the vcriant
bottoms, were in similar manner cut off,
and beloved and gruntcd for help.--
Around on the heights stood atlriglted,
paral wed spectators and women
who had never seen q sca of water be-

perilous venture, especially in mid-chan-
mel where the surge roared the worst,
and the pine rails were laShed about
like straws. but the experienced eye and

were sufficient for all emergencies, and
the dangers were Surmounted. 1t was
