SEDALIA, Mo-, August 2.--Anotlier
great storm more protracted than the
one reported In Tuesdays Globe. Demo-
crat, visited us last night. The rain
commenced falling about I O'Clock,
and continued without ceasing for
fourteen hours. This morning, about
s o'clock, the clouds broke, and the
wind changed from the east to the
north, but Mt 10 o'clock it commenced
raining. Either rain or heavy mist
has been falling all day. The most
doleful reports come from farmers
everywhere, especially those living
on creek bottoms. All the wheat and
oats not housed may De considered
lost, ana this comprises one-half the
wheat crop, and two-thirds OF the oat
crop. In addition TO this, miles and
miles OF fencing are washed away
Reports from the Usage, Lamine and
Blackwater rivers say they are all
higher than ever before known. Re-
Liable authority says that five bridges
on the Missouri, Kansas and Texas
railway, between Sedalia and Hanni-
bal, are washed away. All the mail,
express and freight trains on the Mis-
souri,, Kansas and Texas roads are ltae
to-day. In fact, it is impossible for
your correspondent to ascertain the
full extent of bridges, culverts and
track washed out on the roads.

The London correspondent of the

gems: This collection includes the rare
gems gathered by those noble virtuo-
sis, the Earl of Arundel and the Earl
of Bessbrough, and | suppose there are
no finer specimens of old-time jewelry
extant in England. Just now, too,
these gems have peculiar value, from
the prevalent fashion of exhibiting the
antique in the adornment OF aristOcrat-
ic houses and the decoration
OF arlstocratic persons. Go to

Belgrava and you will see any quantity
OF buxom dowagers, from bankers

The Mountain Meadow Massacre.

BEAVER, Utah, August l.-Several
witnesses testified at the Mountain
Meadow massacre trial to-day. Their
evidence was cOnfirmatory of that of
the preceding witnesses. Mr.. Lees
cell was searched to-day, and was found
to contain numerous articles TO assist
him to escape. This afternoon the de-
Tense presented an affidavit by tele-
graph from Salt Lake City to the effect
that Brigham Young and George A..
Smith were in too feeble health to
come to Beaver, and asked that their
dispositions be accepted. The request
was refused. The defense said they
should take the aflidavits any way and
present them, and asked until to-mor-
row TO open the case for the defense.
This afternoon one of the wives of Lee
insisted on seeing him, and upon being
refused assaulted the jailor. ., She was
locked up.
