| Immense quantities OF rain raised the rivers
! and creeks last week again. The country
about the salt works. in the eastern part of the
county, was under water. The Solomon bridge
was rendered dangerous and was impossible
for trains, tor number OF hours. The Solo
mon river was even higher than during the
high water Of three weeks ago.
The balloon ascension. last Saturday after
