We have had one OF the greatest tides
known to the oldest inhabitant. The Cow
pasture, one OF the main stems OF the noble
James. was three feet higher than it was in
1916, when it was higher then than it has
been since. Al! the bridges are gone in the
county save one on the HarriSonburg and
Warm-Springs turnpike. All the bottoms
on the rivers and creeks were covered, and
the rivers We're from mountain to noun
tain, sweeping pretty much all the rails and
corn on the bottoms; and since the food I
have been over the county some, and the
roads are literally torn to pieces-unsafe, as
4 general thing, for man and beast. It will
be very difficult for persons in this county
TO winter themselves or their stock.
All the mills in this county were more or
less injured, particularly the saw-mills.
The bottonl-lapds are more washed and
sandcd than ther'have been since the first
settlement Of the county. Under the act
Of Providence we can't more than survive,
let alone pay the public debt, hence repu-
diation must follow sooner or later.
We wish 4 hog law in this county; that
is, let the owners Of hogs keep them on his
or her own premises, and if he has no prem
iscs keep no hogs; then less rails will do.
As there is !! Judge to elect this winter
this county fully endorses Judge McGlaugh-
lin. Everything considered, his place can
only be filled in the district by his reelection.

In executive session to-day on the tenure
of.office act an argument had its origin in
the phraseology OF certain determinations
whose cases were pending when the extra
session adjourned. In rendering these
nominations the President has not referred
to the original suspensions, but merely
states they are made in lieu Of nominations
heretofore transmitted to the Senate but not
acted upon. For instance, the nomination
OF Alexander Reed for postmaster at Tole-
do, which was laid before the Senate to-day,
proposes his appointment to that Office In
the place Of himself instead OF Ia place OF
Dawling, suspended. The opinion of the
Senate was practically unanimous that such
nomination was not In accordance with the
tenure-of1ce act. The President, In the
instance argued, leaves out Of sight the
person Suspended in tho second nomina.

gram, musical direetorand conductorsof the
Oates English Comic Opera Company, which

startled the community by its suddenness.
Mr.. Predigam was large, robust man--a
man OF splendid pbysique-apparently In
the enjoyment OF the best OF health. About
aweek or ten days ago he contracted severe
cold, and had complained several times since
OF not feeling as we'll az usual, but bis friends
had no thought that HIS end was 30 near.
During the early part OF Monday eve
ming he took the trcasurer's place at
the door Of the Opera-House, and later
occupied his accustomed place in the or

nearly all day yesterday, leaving it but once
or twice. About P. M. he started from
his room to 60 down stairs, and upon reach
ing the head OF the stairs suddenly sank
back unconscious. He was carried back to
his room by four members Of the company,
and physician was hastily sent for. In a
few moments DR.. r. 8. Harvey arrived, but
too late to render any assistance, as the pa"
tient was already dying. The physician pro-
nounced 1t case Of apoplexy.

age, ana natlYe OF france. de WAS well
known in the profession, having been con-
nected with musical organizations the great
er part OF his life. This was his first sea-
son with Mrs. Oates, but some OF our read
ers may remember having seen him with
Aimee, Kellogg, and others. His wife ac-
companied him upon bis tours throughout
the country, and was with him at the time
OF his death. Arrangements have been
made for his funeral to take place this
morning from the Cathedral. The remains
will be inferred temporarily in the new Ca
tholc cemetery, and will be followed to the
grave by the members Of the company in a
