This place was founded by Esqr.
Clint Hunt in 1858. 1t is on the Win
chester Il Fayetteville Railroad, twelve
miles from your place. Mr.. Hunt rs
quite sanguine as to the future OF ms
town. lie contends that the time IS
not distant when it will rival and
eclipse the ncighboring towns. Its
inhabitants now number something
less than 10000, with a favorable out
look for an increase soon.
This place now boasts of five bnsl-
ness houses. Another is being erect
ed: and, it is whispered in speculative
circles, that a decent grocery is soon 70
be added. ,,,

storm that prevented the running
of railway trains. The snow fell to
the depth of nearly two feet, and
very much deeper among the noun
tains between Bologne and Florenc.
The Venicians seem TO have a pre-
judice against the presence of snow
in their public places, for a large
force of men were employed in
clearing it from 81. Marks square,
and dumping it into the bay and
canals. The gondolas were not in
terrupted in their movements, but
they seemed TO be much less used
than the days before the snow fell.
l was led to query as TO how the
Venicians would be able to go from
place to place in the city, should the
canals be closed by ice, as they
would be by few more degrees of
cold. No carriages are used in the
streets of the city, and everything

A GREAT FLOOD.
A correspondent of the Common
wealth tells this powerful story:

A correspondent of the Common
wealth tells this powerful story:
In 1874 the valley of the Missouri,
as well as those of nearly all its
tributaries was submerged under
water. The season had been very
wet, and TO add to the already over
flowing streams, continuous rain
deluged the country for forty days.
The prairiss became vast swamps,
over which it was impossible to
ride; raVines became rivers, and
rivers resembled island seas. The
flood seemed to know no limit, and
the second bottoms, now consider
ed far above high water mark, were
far down under the turbid waters,
aud for the time being became the
undisputed home of fishes.
Kansas was unsettled at that time,
except by rowing Indians, SO the wa.
ters did but little damage; but the
Missouri valley was settled to some
extent, and the hairbreadth escapes
of some of the families residing on
the low bottoms were as thrilling
as some of the scenes at the recent
disaster i'll the valley of the Gar
onne.
An eye witness describes the
Kansas river as extending from
bluff to bluff, a distance varying
from three to six miles. He passed
over the present site of Topeka and
found the low lands completely in.
undated, with six or eight feet OF
water flowing over the place now
occupied by the Shawnee Mills
From this point to the foot of the
bluffs north of the old town of In,
dianOla. broad sheet of turbid wa
ter rushed onward, filled with drift
wood and swaying the aged mon
archs of the woodland like reedi
before the hurricanes breath. Pre-.
viOus to the flood there was a trad
ing post at the mouth of small
creek three miles of Topeka. l
was swept away, but its ruined
chimneys were visible in '56.

SANDER.

The air scarce stirred
With the wins pered word,
Yet the noisy city its import heard.
Can il be so,
That an hour ago
That name was as high as II now lies low
And friends were dear,
And lovers near,
And the haven Of hope was shining clear
Did eyes shine bright
With weet delight,
And never hint OF the whitening blight:
Is yesterday
So far away,
With its tender signs and its laughter gay
With the poison flung
Ny the shameless tongue,
The deep death-Enell of all hopes were
rung!
And the tidings grew,
AS they always do,
None caring 10 ask be they false or true
Alone! Alone!
The friends have flown
How weary and old the heart has grown
The laughter's fed,
The heart is dead,
And crowned with sorrow the innocent
head.
Never again
Will the cruel stain
Be washed from the soul so crushed viii
Till Death shall bring
Its kinder sting,
And the poor, tried heart, stopped scr
rowing.
Heaven send,
Death be fried,
And this cruel life soOn have an end
