OTHER INCIDENTS.

Among the many thrilling incidents
given in the newspaper accounts Of this
fearful occasion are the following;
All along the course of the flood there
were narrow escapes and thrilling Incl
dents. Mr., ii. III. Tilton, of Williams
burg, was carrying his aged mother,
Widow Sarah II. Snow, TO a place OF
safety, when the unrelenting waters seized
them; she was carried away, while he
grasped tree, about fifteen feet high,
standing on a bank, and was saved,
though the waters reached and swayed
him. Messrs. Hannum and Rhodes, liv-
ing in the same house, got across the
street into another dwelling, the lower
story of which was flooded, but some ap'
pie trees broke the force of the wave and
the house stood.
One of the saddest cases connected
with the disaster was the death of Mrs.
Jane Cogan, of Leeds, and her two
daughters, Grace and Carrie. Grace Co.
gan was pupil in the West6eld Normal

about half of the loss.... After the an
nouncement of the acqulttal of Prof Swing
by the Chicago Presbytery upon the charge
of heresy, and the notice of appeal by DIR.
Patton, a telegram was received from the
former declaring that he had withdrawn from
the Presbyterian denomination. A meeting
of the Elders of his church was subse-
quently held, at which it was decided to con-
tinue pastoral relations with the Professor,
the church still remaining In the denomina-
tion. On the 25th formal letter was pre-
sented to the Presbytcry stating that he
should at future time ask letters of dismis-
sal, assigning as reasons for such request
repugnance to religious controversy and
desire to promote harmony In the church.

THE SUDDEN DEIueE.

THE SUDDEN DELUGE.
In an hour and half from the begin
ring the last house had been upset or
torn into bits. Quick and terrible work |
Williamsburg, Skinnerville, Haydenville,
Leeds, pleasant little towns, with white
cottages arranged in straight row and
rectangles, and with a wide spread of
green meadows to the south and west;
little feudal hamlets, whose people were
almost owned by one man, generally he
for whom each village was named; busy
little places, with plenty of factories, plenty
OF bustling life and hard work; pretty,
clustered villages, clinging each around
some tall chimney, all standing on the
broad flats, with hills of more and more
gentle slope, down and down the valley,
not hemming them in, but making way
for them from out the bold mountains
above. Such was the valley before the
storm of water, loosed by the neglect of
the great men of the valley, fell upon it
and turned the flats into deserts and the
gentle hills into the barriers of such q
deluge as Massachusetts, hau never seen
before. AT Williamsburg the torrent was
as deep as it was wide, but here 1t
reached the plain and spread into a flood.
The Hood went straight down the valley.
IL attacked SkinneTville, not with water
merely, but with the bones of Williams
burg, great timbers and tree boles, and
the stones which it lifted and whirled
along. 1t attacked Haydenville with
weapons caught up from both villages
above, and was here torrent thick with
dead bodies Here there is a sudden b nd
eastward, and narrowing in the old
stream bed just above the first dam. The
flood, thus for a moment contracted,
raised into a wall in its very front the
spoils of the bridges, houses, orchards it
had swept away. 1t hurried before it
great boiler, picked up at Skinnerville,
and descended headlong on this third
village. 1t made sieve of the brick
factory, tore out another boiler, laid hold
of two great iron safes, and added these
to its weapons; piled house upon
houseIop, drove two houses into one,
cut one house into two, splintered others,
turned an island meadow into desert of
sand, smooth as billiard table, except
where strewn with tree. trunks and stones,
and carried sixty bodies on toward Leeds
Leeds il struck on the northwestern cor.
ner and broke for itself q straight path
through till it landed thirty dead in a
twisted mass of rubbish against the hill
below Warmers flats The loss Of life was
terrible, but undoubtedly far less than it
would have been but for Milkman Collins
Graves, who carried the news Of the flood
just breathing space ahead of the flood
from Williamsburg through Skinnerville
to Haydenville.
Is it any wonder that all this ruin
should be Mecca of sigbtseers day after
day? They were mostly in carriages yes
terday, and, as every turnpike bridge in
the valley was gone and the roads were
chaos, long processions-a wagon with
coffins at every rod-formed on both sides
the fords.-C0r. N. Y. World.

Two LOVERS by moss.grown spring:

Mingled the dark and sunny hair,
And heard the woong thrushee sing.
