DISTRESS IN SWITZERLAND.

AN APPEAL MADE TO AMERICA FOR ASSIST
ANCE.
ZURICH, SWITZERLAND, July l. 1876
TO THE EDITOR HERALD
May not, through tho columns Of the herald, call
the attention Of people TO the fact that Switzerland
has been devastated by another disastrous food
tain sections OF the country in great distress Not
only are the crops lost but in hundreds OF cases the
fields have been buried In gravel sand, uniting
them Tor cultivation for years to come. Houses and
factories havc been swep, away vineyards have been
torn out root and branch; railways ruined for long
stretches OF miles, and the public highways and passes
SO damaged as to be often totally UNIT Tor use Tho
loss of lite be added the mournfu list Of mIstor.
tunes though not great is st.l considerable The dis
rics have suffered most by this disastrous food
are the cantons oil Zurich. rnurgove and ST. Gall. In
these sections the rivers aud lakes rose within tho
space OF three days to height unheard OF tho an
nails Of the country Brooks became rivers and
turned into lakes
Whole valleys IN canton Thurgovic were under water
and the inhabitants were forced to fly from their
houses in the night and seek refuge on the ncghbor
ing hills and mountains. Small rivers known
mount to point thirty feet above their usual level.
What the result would be TO valleys crowded with
villages and cultivated farms Is easy to imagine.
Lake Zurich ovcrfowcd everything on It's immediate
banks aud invaded the lower parts Of the city Tho
Rhine higher than in the memorable Hood OF
1865
Details Of the damage done not yet collected but
careful experts estimate the loss approaching
10000, 900 francs. Zurich Canton alone suffers to The
amount Of seven more millions. Some railways
have been permanently crippled, Us the damage done
will require too great outlay to make II possible
repair now. Tho farmers ana villagers in tho mmc-
date vicinity OF the Hoods simply ruined They
have their halt ruined lands aud water soaked
houses left but nothing more. They have no food
and no employment The country has been
called Tor help ard thousands have re-
spondcd. still tho amount possible to be raised
among comparatively small POPULATION cannot DO
adequate TO tho demands. Faxes Will be levied still
this cannot be sufficient to relieve the poor from
the severe disaster think were Americans to know
the fearful excnt OF the distress caused TO the or
Switzerland by this Hood, they would not hesitate to
extend the helping hanc
When Chicago was burning up no people abroad re-
sponded more nobly to call for help than the in
habtants OF these districts In distress. Let
Americans remember Cbcagc and lot them not forget
those who mado sacrifices TO hcp Chicago and who
arc now in their own hour OF need.

BailiT Barton.

Any one lingering in the passageway at the
Police Court Wednesday might have seen a
lawyer come out OF the door very suddenly, as
if ne had been helped out, and then turn and
shake his fist at the door as it closed behind
him. If the lingerer could have seen through
the door he would have seen Bailif Barton
drawing bis foot back as though he had Just
delivered vigorous kick. The lawyer was
colored one named Oscar Waring, and Bailiff
Barton had found it necessary to clear the
court room of him because he had become
abusive and insulting to Clerk Prince. Clerk
Prince winked at Marshall Eckloff, Marshall
Fcklotf wiDked at Barton, Barton winked to
himself, and the boisterous attorney was
yanked away from the clerk IS desk and hurried
into the passsgeway, as was first said.
Lawyer Waring yesterday had Bailiff Barton
arraiened in the very court at one end of which
he has presided with so much dignity for so
long time. Justice Mills looked wise and
dismissed the case, as it was not shown that
the bailif was malicious at the time or that
be had done any more than his duty.

to compel Alexander R Shepherd to pay the
taxes that have accrued upon the real estate of
their father, which is now held by Mr.. Shep-

that he should pay the taxes upon it. The
children, who will take the estate now held by
Mr.. Shepherd, on the death of DR.. Boyle, claim
that they have a right to receive 1t free of all
