| WATERsPOUT IN NEvADA.-The town
of Eureka, New, was visited by terrible
waterspout, Friday, which flooded the town
and swept away in the flood from % to 80
persons and as many houses 1t had been
raining with great violence from early in
the morning till noon, when u cloud burst
on Il lofty range of mountains to the east
ward, and a vast volume of water rushed
down the canon where the town is located.
The eastern part of the town was flooded
in ten minutes by Il fearful rush of waite,
which was constantly increasing in vio-
lence, depth and impetuosity. The people
in that portion of the place were hemmed
in, and. every moment, houses were torn
from their foundations and swept away
with their occupants. Ropes were pro-
cured and line formed, and brave nfen
thus protected, dashed into the torrent and
saved many lives. About 30 persoes were
drowned, including Rodger Bobinett. a
importer for the Sentinel, and Mrs. Bray
The Sentinel office and some 80 houses
were carried off, and all that part of the
town in which were situated dance-houses
and other places of amusement is gone.
The flood lasted only half an hour. On
Saturday the storm was even heavier. but
the people were better prepared for it.
A waterspout burst near Carson City,
New, yesterday afternoon, causing great
destruction of property. No lives were
lost.
A Vermont paper claims to have dis
covered that Congressman Willard is visit
ing every OF nearly every post office in the
district and interviewing the several post
masters. If he will visit every farm house
no harm will be done, for Congressman
Willard is good man for his constituents
to be acquainted with.-BoSton Journal.
CHAMBERS, FARCY AND WATERING
TRoUGHs.-Dr. Wilton contributes the
following to the Dorchester Meas Gather
err: AS the CHAMBERS and farcy are spread
ing rapidly throughout the country, think
it my duty to inform the public of water
ing horses at the public troughs. One
glandered horse can innoculate twenty or
more horses at one trough. Either of
the diseases is as contagious by OSCILLATION
to the horse as small pox is to the human
family. l have condemned to be killed,
since last October, over one hundred
horses affected with CHAMBERS and farcy
1t is dangerous to handle OF drive a CLAN
derry horse, as the harness, ETC., he is used
in may carry the contagion. In driving
against the wind a horse who is affected,
when he snorts, the spray from his nos
trils is liable to come back to the carriage
and persons therein, having delicate skin
or scratches or eruptions on their face and
hands, are liable to be inoculated, as quick
as from the pit of the small pox. Flies
may spread the disease. Chambers are
incurable in the horse,
