The Flood.

The recent Storm was very severe in
Massachusetts, Connecticut and Rhode
Island, and most disastrous in it's con-
sequences:
At Clinton, Mass, Messy pond burst
through its dam, and, cutting gap about
four hundred feet wide, carried away
everything i'll its course. A large tannery,
many dwelling-houSeS, several manufac-
tories, including the large Nashua Iron
Works, and many other buildings were
swept away. No lives were lost at Clin-
ton.
At HolliSton, Mass, another dam went
out and the railroad was badly damaged.
At Worcester county, eleven dams went
out, and the damage in this county alone
is estimated ut 500 900.
In Rhode Island many dams and
$4,000 worth of mill property were
destroyed.
The in Connecticut is quite as bad,
dams, bridges, factories and dwellings be-
ing swept off like straws. Seven lives
were lost at Norwich. SERIOUS freshets
are also reported from New York and
New Jersey.
In Vermont and northern New Hamp-
shire the storm was snow and not much
damage was done.
The Lynde Brook Reservoir, which sup
plies the city of Worcester with water,
gave way Wednesday afternoon. The
people in the valley whose property was
thus endangered, were hurriedly warned,
and at once removed their household
goods to places of safety. Houses and
mills were swept away, and but for the
timely warning to the inhabitants of the
valley the loss of life must have been
fearful.

GREEN'S AUGUST FLOWER.

It's natural for people suffering with
dyspepsia and liver complaint or any de-
engagements of the digestive organs, such
as sour stomach, sick headache, habitual
costiveness, palptation of the heart,
heart burn, Watcr-brash, gnawing and
burning pains at the pit of the stomach,
yellow skin, coated tongue, and disagree
able taste in the mouth, coming up of

1t seems proper that the local celebra-
tloas Of the Fourth Of July, 1876, which
will be held throughout the land, should
be made to contribute to q permanent
historical memorial of the Centennial
Celebration. In each county provision
should be made for the delivery Of an adj
dress tracing the history of that particu-
lar community for the past century, or
from the time Of its settlement, and in
Guiding sketch Of its growth, its resour-
ces, industries, prospect, etc. These
addresses should be published in a uni
form size,-that of the Congressional
documents, for instance,-in order that
they may be bound together by States. To
competent persons the preparation OF
such addresses would not be an unduly
burdensome task; but in the aggregate
they would constitute an invaluable his
torcal repository such as no nation has
ever had the opportunity to collect.
Designations ought to be made with
out delay, in order that they may have
time to accomplish their work. 1t is to
De hoped that the press will give general
circulation to the project, and that each
journal will see to its consummation in
its own locality, and that the slight ex-
pense involved be assumed by the county
or town authorities.

The alleged frauds in the Pension Blu
reau, while it was under the charge of
Mr.. Van Arnum, appear to have been
about as barefaccd sort of proceeding
as any that have been unearthed by the
investigating committees. The ring,
according to the testimony of former
clerk of the Bureau, consisted Of the
Commissioner of Patents and three attor-
neys, Mr.. Cheney of Orange, Mass, Mr..
Van Letre Of Lyons, N. Y, and Mr. Hill
of Dunkirk, n. Y. The method of pro-
ceeding was for one of the lawyers, in
the assumed character OF the adminiStra-
tor of the heirs of deceased soldiers, to
make application for land warrants in
their name, and having obtained them
with The aid of the COMMISSIONER to
divide<the proceeds among the members
of the ring. 1t was an easy matter to

claimed, and assuming that they were
dead, to get the claims allowed with the

Wrare told bv men of science That m

We are told by men OF science that the
amount of moisture that falls to the
earth in year, is about the same on an
average with all other years, and if Il
comes In rain, OF course there is less
SNOW, and If in snow, there viii be less
rain. The same also of heat, If excess
i've in summer, the equilibrium will be
preserved by cold in other portions of
the year. Bat notwithstanding this uni
versaf law of Sameness or equality in
heat and moisture yearly, how unlike the
lelrs arc-no two alike. Every year is
remarkably different from all others in
very many things. Scientific causes that
are yet beyond the knowledge of man,
are the unseen agencies that produce
this remarkable yearly diversity. Men
are feeling after this knowledge. ObSer-
Vations that are now being taken in all
parts of the world, are pointing in, tue
right direction. Win men ever, become
wise enough to understand thecauses
that produce such effects, ,NS To- fore
tell them? The past winter las been, SO
to speak a very freaky one. Shows very
early in the season, they melted away in
Decenber, and gave place to beautiful
summer weather in the greater part OF the
north temperate zone. Still later, in Cen
trail Europe deep SHOWS, which suddenly
melted, producing terrible floods, bring
ing waste of property, and the destruc-
ton of thousands of homes and many
lives. This WAS particularly true along
the Danube. But in March, the snow
gods piled down upon the earth vast
amount of their reserved crystal moist
ure, in al parts Of the United States,
blocking the railroads, interrupting tray
81 and extending to the extreme Southern
States. During the month the snowfall
in Europe has been more remarkable than
in this country In Scotland, the deepest
fall ever known. Even in sunny Italy the
snow king has rcigned in power. There
has been quite deep fall in Rome. The
last great storm has been snow in some
sections, and rain in others, doing vast
amount of damage in the New England
States. These freaks of nature, as they
are called, are the operation oflaw, as fix
cd as the world, And the hand that rules
the universe is in them, and there is wis
dom for men to study causes that pro
duce such variety of marvellous effects.
