Rock Spring.

We have had an abundance of rain
during the past week. The river was
very high last Friday, but not as full as
it was last spring. A great many RATS
run this tide; our esteemed friend, L, S.
Leftwich, started down the river with
his large timber raft which contained
about 100, 900 feet of hewn timber, last
Saturday. May he land safe, and meet
with ready sale, for his timber, which
he doubtless will, as he has the experN
fenced navigator, A. J. Huey, with him.

10 the Editors Of the Columbia Herald:
In the last Rally Hill Items, see the
printer, through mistake, left out part
of the announcement of Mr.. Sam Rog-
ers' marriage notice. The part left out
was: "On the 14th inst, Mr.. Samuel
Rogers brought home his intellectual
and accomplished wife" Mr.. Rogers is
one of the first citizens on Flat Creek.
The friends of Mr.. John G. Horsley ex-
tend 20 you their sympathy. He pos
sessed the warmest feelings of respect
and the unbounded confidence of his
friends in this portion OF the county,
and his loss is looked upon in this com
munity as loss to the county at large.
Flat Creek is profoundly pleased at the
election of Andrew Johnson, as the one
great step towards Matchmaking the
Democratic party of the South. The
Democratic outlook is now certainly
most faYOrable. FLAT CREEK.

CHRISTMAS AT THE CHtLDREN's HoME.
One Of the happiest places In all this
city on Saturday was the above named In.
stiiution, and ifthe citizens who, by their
donations, rendered the Home 40 bright
and made the children 50 merry could
have been present to see for themselves,
they would have felt more than repaid
for any little sacrifice IL may have cost
them. Nearly forty children went 10
their stockings early in the morning and
fairly danced for joy as they discovered
their contents. Many Of these children
had seen little or no pleasure In all their
past lives, and this fact only enhanced
their surprise and delight Accustomed
to the "hatd knocks" and "datk side" OF
life before their admission to the Home,
the loving Christmas greetings and beau.
tiful though inexpensive temembfances
Of Saturday morning filed their little
hearts with a Joy that told them there ia a
bright side 10 lie, and kindled In them
hopes Of yet being Of some account in the
world. 1t was a day Of great gladnesS,
and az the children made the house ring
with the song, "Iet our hearts be always
cheerful" we felt that their hearts did
dictate what their lips expressed.

CHRIsEAtAs CASuAIIns. = The usual
list Of Christmas Casualties viii be found
A boy named Charles BOEIsy vas load
ing 4 pistol on 18th street Saturday
morning, and while ramming in a cart
ridge the weapon was BY some means dis
charged, and the ball passed through the
fleshy part Of his hand. BOaley was taken
to the office Of DR., Galligan and proper
" attended to.
Archie Zane, little son Of Mr.. ]. W.
Zane, residing on South Penn street.
Island, met with a very painful and Sc
sirous accident on Saturday afternoon.
Archie was loading pistol, and used .
nail as a ramrod. The pistol was Hcci-
dentally discharged, and the nail enter.
ed the boys forehead, breaking the
skull and leaving an ugly hole. The
head Of the nail entered the skull, and
the point was left protrudipg an inch or
80. The nail could not be pulled out, and
the little fellow suffered terribly until the
arrival Of Dr.. Bates with the necessary in
struments. The situation OF the lad Is
vely critical, but with quiet and atten.
ton the chances are that he will survive.
Two East Wheeling boys named Daniel
Riddle and Jimmy 0Brien were strug-
Cling over pistol on Saturday morning,
when the weapon was prematurely dis
charged. Riddle received the charge,
which was q blank one, in his face, and
was badly burned by tue powder. His
injuries are not Of serious nature, how
ever.
4 seyen.yeAr-Old son of Mr.. c. H.
Diuger, while visiting the family Of
Christian Fauble, on the Island, fell from
a fence and sprained his spine, The little
sufferer remains at the residence Of Mr.,
Fauble, and Is said to be in very crit.
cal condition.
Gus Wagner lives in a little frame
house at the Island end Of the suspension
bridge. On Saturday afternoon Gus was
sitting in his house talking to a man
named Wheaton, when he suddenly arose
and left the room, returning in few mo-
ments with an axe In his hand, with
which he quietly proceeded to chop up
the furniture. Before he could be stopped
he made kindling wood out Of a table and
several chairs. He was finally oVerpow-
cred and taken to the lookup. As Wag.
oner had been drinking pretty hard
lately, whisky is assigned as the cause Of
his attempt to break up housekeeping.
