by blacksuGko. She was sont by

companied by q small Newfoundland
dog, walked about throe-fourths of q
mile into tho woods, whero the Dor.
ries wore plenty. After filing he,

when she was so exhausted that she
was unable TO Cry out, the anake

realizing that sho must do something

Tho girl then threw it against a rock
and succeeded in killing Il. She
tied q small hickory withe around

The FLoops.--The heavy rain
storms which have prevailed in the
West for several weeks past have
eliminated in disastrous floods which
have caused an immense amount of
damage to tho growing crops. sspeci
ally wheat, oats and barley, these
crops in many places being com
pletely destroyed. These floods have
occurred in tho States Of Ohio, Indi-
ana, Illinois, Missouri, Kentucky and
Arkansas, and all accounts agree
that the rivors wore higher than ever
before known. The damage to prop
erty will undoubtedly be several mil
lions Of dollars.
On nearly all the railroads in Ohio
and Indiana wash-outs and land-
slides have occurred, bridges swept
away, and general detention Of
trains has resulted. Grave appro.
tensions were felt OF ON overflow Of
tho Mississippi, but we have not
learned that this took place. At
Athens, o, the river attained the
height OF eight inches over the great
est elevation evor known before
The flood in the Wabash, Indiana,
river, was terrible, and it WAS higher
than ever before known. Groat suf
fering resulted to tho tenants on tho
low lands whose oil was swept away.
In this State the damage was slight;
and the crops were gathered without
much loss by the rains.
1t is probable that the loss in tho
Western States is not so great as re.
ported, But u short timo will tell
the extent OF the loss.
FRoM EUROPE. only has the
excessive fall of rain for the past few
weeks been confined TO this country,
but for several weeks accounts from
Europe state that unusual floods of
water, doing much damage to prop
erty, havo devastated wide-extended
dietricts in England, France, Switz,
erland, Germany and perhaps all
Europe. Even in India the rain fall
was excessive.
