Business is very dull in and around
our town at the present. but we are
looking forward for better days here.
There is a good deal said about the
Changers putting up a Factory here.
There cannot be a better situation
found in my judgment.
The freshet has done considerable
damage to the citizens, and also all
those living on our Little Limestone
Creek, washing away fences, spring
houses, sc. The water was said TO lie
higher than ever before.
The prospect for wheat is not very
latering, the heavy rains have washed
fields very much.
Farmers are very backward with
there work, very little done towards
a crop, owing to the wet weather.
Mrs Kyker, wife Of John Kyker, jr.
was buried last Monday.
W. G.. Payne, has been very i'll, but
is again convalescent.
Some Of our young folks around
here are very much inclined to change
their state we wish them a happy exit.
Those little blessings you spoke Of
in your last weeks paper, are doing
well, but are still without names.

Should warm weather follow the recent
overflow, a great amount of sickness may
be looked for and every one should be
prepared to counterfeit the evil effects of
IN atmosphere poisoned by the decay of
matter left by the food, If colds are
brought on, use Symphyx; if symptoms
Of rhumatism appear apply at once DR..
iiart's Relief, and in any and all events
keep the bowels regulated by the judici'
Gus use Of DR.. Harris Blood and Liver
Pills.

Sela Chucky Bridge.

We are sorry to learn that the late
freshct ba, badly damaged the bridg &c
over the river at the Red Banks. The
middle piIlor Of the bridge has washed
away or a great portion of it. 1t will
cost perhaps $500, to $500, to make the
repairs. Tue citizens OF the Flag Poud
and Greasy Cove districts ought to cons
mence work at once and make the re-
pairs. IL the money cannot be raised
from individuals, the County Court should
make an appropriation for this purpose,

Exposure begets a cold. With the
cold comes a cough. A cough neglected,
is consumption which means death.
Be ware how you neglect the cough, as
your life may pay the forfeit, for at first
a simple remedy removes what medical
science is unable to cure when neglected
too long. Medical men think no medicine
has yet been discovered which will cure a
cough rs quiikly as Symrhvx.

ITS HEIGHT.

1t bore upon its bosom prodigious
waves Of frightening height, and on both
banks, could be seen men, women and
children, with eye fixed almost immova.
ble-some watching through fear and ex.
cltemeut-some through curiosity and
delight--and there were still others with
melancholy faces over their losses and
damages. Men differ as to its actual
height but it is ncceded by a g,e1ter
number to have measured 10 or II feet
perpendicularly.
7 INUNDATIoN AND DAMAGES.
Its agitated and prodigious waves soon
began to lash the shores aud islands, (un-
common of submergence) we're entirely
inundated.
With the dec ivity which the lido gave
to many trees standing on the islands that
did not exceed 10 feet, logs, stumps and
trees of large dimension could float I'M
impeded over their tops. The damage
to the Iron Works is considerable, of
which | will mention a few of the heaviest.
The UNDERMINING Of the Grist Mil was
washed out, letting one side drop down.
The dam that kept the water in the race
for running the machinery, was swept
away. About one hundred PANELS of
the farm fence we're taken away. The
roads Oh both sides Of the river are inns
passable for wagons. There are other
damages done to the works.
| understand much damage is done to
several farms on the river, and especially
the farms of Graham, Strain and Jackson.
Mr.. A. Thomson found on the bank of
the river where the soil had been washed
off, a skeleton. 1t is supposed to be the
skelton OF IN Indian.
The toe heavcd our Ferry-boat off the
bottom, but 1t was broken in tive pieces.
In a small depression on the bank OF
the river, the writer found two .fae
fishes.

EnBRREEvILLE AND RIVER
ITEMS.
The Great Fresiiet-Its Heights
Its foundation and Damage.

Doubtless verbal intelligence Of the
height and damage of our rugged little
river, has been torn from ear to ear, un il
many have a faint idea of the result.
But as the writer wasa bcholder and was
up and down on the bank during the day,
| thought would send you a true state
ment.
The Frcshet was one among the largest
in the traditions Of the river. 1t has
been known TO lash its waves and extend
Its waters farther OF to dry land but
mOny think it did not lack in water in
this, but owing to those tides that have
preceded it, which have widened the
channel and deepenod the banks, until a
greater quantity would be required to
bring it up to the old landmarks of its
precedents.

Breaking Down.

Men often have their hands fall,
are overerowded with business and
drive hurriedly along at it, but they
are not over worked. We can not
always tell when a man is over " ork

himself, no more than be knows the
strain on the main spring of bis
watch that viii break it. But there
comes time when it BREAKS
click. snap and the watch stops.
men break down ia this way. They
go on, day after day, the pressure
bearing harder each successive day,
until the vital force gives out, and
the machine stops 1t is great pity
that the indications Of this state OF
things can not be seen beforehand,
and if seen, regarded. IL is one Of
the last things thst men viii admit
to themselves, much less to others.
They fatter themselves that it is only
q little WEAKNESS of the flesh, which
will pass off with a few bours rest,
when, in fact, every nerve, power and
resource are exhausted, and the sys-
TEN is driven to work by mere force
Of the will. When the oil on the
shaft or in the oil box is exhausted,
every revolution of the wheel wears
ON the revolving part, and will soon
ruin it, The same is true of the hu-
man body, for when it is overtaxed.
every effort wears to destroy it.
