The MarysvilIe (Cal.) Flood.

THE Marysville (Cal) appeal of Jan.
26 gives the following incidents of the
recent great flood there: "Flood Incl
dents continue to develop themselves.
The most painful one coming to our
knowledge is that of Jacob Gunther, re-
siding on street, between Seventh and
Eighth. For some time his wife had
been ill and was not expected to recover
During her last hours she was in the
midst of the flood, the water standing
in her house several feet in depth over
the bed. The husband held his dying
wife in his arms for an hour before her
removal across the street to the house of
McMullen, where she expired the second
day of the flood. Angus, book-keeper of
the Marysville woolen mills, narrowly
escaped with his life while going from
the mills to his residence on Fourth
street, between d and E.. Angus re-
mained at the mills as long as he dared,
and then started for home. At Third and
B streets he met stiff current, but
pressed his way onward through the
cold water till he reached the corner of
Third and Maiden lane, where he found
the sidewalk had gone, and he fell He,
however, got upon his feet again, and,
seeing a boat, he jumped into it and
rowed to the center of the street At
this time he was hailed by the owners of
the boat, who applied to him all the low
est epithets of the California YER
nacular, and acted more like
set of savages than men, Angus left the
boat and got to the Odd Fellows corner,
where he fell again and was rescued by
Mr.. H. Schroeder, who helped him into
McCarty's saloon, where they mounted
the counter and Angus received some
stinulants. Schroeder then took Angus
by the arm and assisted him to his home
on Fourth street, both wading in water
nearly to their shoulders. Schroeder is
entitled to much credit, as he saved
life at the risk of bis own. Johnny Nc
Donald, living at the corner of } and
Eighth streets, made strong effort TO
save favorite calf He got him upon a
table in his kitchen, but the water rose
high enough to upset the table and the
fatted calf was drowned, not killed.
William Eberlein's family, at their resi-,
dence on Ell, between Seventh and Eighth
streets. werein critical condition for
several hours, the wife and three small
children being alone. During the rise of
water Mrs. Eberlein went to the stable
and led the family horse to the house,
and worked hard to get him upon the
front stoop; but the animal was fTac-
tious and was returned to the barn,
where he saved himself by getting his
fore feet upon a high scantling. In the
meantime the husband arrived from Ills
store in boat and conveyed his family
to the residence Of B. E. Hickok.

In the beginning of the present centu-
ry notorious counterfeiter named NAL
bone Briggs was several times committed
to prison. As soon as his children grew
up, both girls and boys followed their
fathers footsteps, till they too became
frequent inmates of almshouses, jails
and penitentiaries. At one time while
Briggs was an occupant of the Massa-
chusetts State Prison he was told that
his son and two of his daughters were
ismates of the same place. At which
he very coolly remarked that it was very

MAJORITY REPORT

The Select Committee on Arkansas
Affairs conclude their report as follows:
The new Constitution we regard as repub-
lican in form, and in many respects an inn
provement upon that of 1868. The committee
are satisfied that the Convention to frame the
Constitution and the Constitution itself were
voted for, and are satisfactory to the majority
OF the voters and people of the State. The
State officers were certainly elected by ma
jority of the votes cast, and we think by ma
jority of the votes In the State. The condition

THE NLsKAYUNE sHAKEREss.

IT was gentle Shakeress,
Just in from Niskayune,
Five miles beyond the turnpike gate,
One pleasant afternoon.
Aloft upon the wagon-box
She sat in virgin state;
The spirit moved me to draw near
And hold with her debate.
I asked of her the price of eggs;
She raised her eyes, and then
If brother Jesse were but here"-
Then she looked down again.
She raised her eyes once more, atlength,
"You seem a modest youth
Too much so for my good" | said;
"My greatest fault, in truth"
"Oh, say not so," she made reply,
"The fault becomes thee well;
The heart that harbors such fault
Is virtues citadel"
oh, heed" said she, "the earnest call
That comes to such as thee,
And be bright and shining light
In our community"
Before my eyes a vision passed:
/ stood as in a swoon,
And saw myself in Shaker garb
At peaceful Niskayune.
Ny hair cut short upon my brow,
In long, straight locks behind;
A broad brimmed hat upon my head,
And nothing ON my mind.
saw the barn-like meeting house
1t was the Sabbath day
A crowd from Albany and Troy,
II Butt had come to stay.
i saw myself upon the floor,
A leader inlthe dance;
First on the heel, then on the toe,
saw myself advance. #
Then brother Jesse spoke awhile, IL
As@A And when he.reached the close
sang an edifying strain
l sang it through my nose.
The vision passed, and there I stood
Once more upon Broadway.
Wilt gosn inquired the Shakeress;
swift gorf faltered, "Nay!"
A tear-drop trickled down my cheek,
And fell upon my hand;
A sudden hope shot through my soul;

I" But thou wilt go with ney" I cried;
Fair virgin-let us be
In holy bonds, by solemn rites,
Our OtOn community.
My life, my fortune, all / have

And l am well-to-do."
