object to very emphatic language APP

repeat the language used by two young

The FLOOD IN CLARKE COUNTY.
Vain chronicling the effects of the
flood in the lower Shenandoah Valley,
the Clarke (Va,) Courier says that
along Shenandoah river, trees, lumber,
bridges, small buildings, in some ms
tances live stock, and thousands of
fence rails were swept away f.; Of the
miles of fencing that divided these river
lands there does not probably remain
from Front Royal to Harper's Ferry ten
feet of fence to indicate that the land
had been so divided. Amongst the To-
sers in Clarke county the following are
announced At Castleman's Ferry, D.
NJ. Osbourne, merchant, large amount
of groceries, some household furniture
and stable John Galloway, blacks
NTH, at same place, lost a blacksmith
shop and stable; c. NJ. Castleman, near
the ferry, 400 bushels corn Mrs. B.
Morgan, further up the river, 400 bar
rels of corn, all she had; B. Starkey,
living on the Fauntleroy farm, 600 or
700 barrels of corn Thomas McCor
mick, 80 head of sheep and 1000 rails ;
Daniel Snyder; SO acres of corn John
NJ. Gibson, 100 bushels of corn, besides
60 acres of wheat in tse ground ruined
by the freshet leaving upon it thick
deposit of soil; Geo. K. Sewers, Philip
Hansucker, B. Longerbeam and Benz.
Ford lost their. entire corn crops. The
loss in Clarke county in corn alone is
not less that 5000 barrels, while the
damage to the growing wheat on the
river lands is immense. Some of the
farmers who lost heavily in corn and
fodder will find it difficult to keep their
live stock through the winter. No lives
were lost.

THE ALTAR AND THE ToMB.-We
have to record very sad occurrence,
and one which brings wildly to US the
slender partition that divides gaiety and
life from mourning and death. Mr..
James B. Violet and Miss Kate Goss,
the latter about 90 years ofage, were
married in Winchester last Wednesday
evening at o'clock. The groom had
made all household preparations for the
event, escorting his bride to the new
house. After the wedding ceremony
and festivities, the bride was taken sud-
denly i'll and was a corpse at 2 O'Clock
in the morning. 1t is supposed her
malay was heart disease caused from
excitement. Miss Goss was member
of the Methodist Episcopal church, and
a young lady much beloved by those
who knew her. Hin. News.

proposition has now been subjected 10 an
exhaustive discussion, in which the Con-ttu-
ton and the constitutional lliStoryand prac-
ticcof the country have been thoroughlycX-
plored, and every principle and every fact
