Damaged by the Rains,

Our Western and Southern cX-
changes bring Us accounts Of great
obstruction Of property by the
Spring frcshets. On the Vicksburg
& Meridian railroad the rains were
very heavy, and a telegram to the
Herald from Lake Station says,
there was the heaviest fail Of rain
ever known there. In many pla.
ccs the railroad track was inunda-
ted and lowland crops utterly do.
stroyed, and bridges washed away.
On Wednesday the north bound
train, on the Mobile & Ohio rail
road only reached as~~far as Chun-
chula, when it was obliged to re.
turn to Mobile on account of the
bridge being down, and there was
also another break between Macon
and Meridian.
A Washington dispatch Of the
oath, states, that a great storm
originating in the Black HILLS cnus.
cd great destruction of life and
property as far cast as the Wa

w. ii. Sloan, of Monroe Furnace, in
forms us that Isaac Allen, of that place,
died week before last, of paralysis. Mr..
Allen was an old citizen Of Jefferson
township, and was the last Of family
who came to that township from West
Virginia, about forty-fve years ago
They settled on Hewitt's Fork. There
were five brothers. Robert, William
James, Henry and Isaac. Over forty
years ago Henry married Abigail Massie.
and Isaac married Rachel Massie, daugh-
ters OF Jeptha Massie, who resided half a
mile south of where Jefferson Furnace is
now located. We were at both of these
marriages They were conducted on the
old style heretofore described by us,
where a race was had for the bottle, &c.
We had been intimately acquainted
with Isaac Allen since We were boy,
and often cut cord wood at the furnaces
near where he did, and at night often in
the shanty listened to him and others,
telling about the wild life of the resi-
dents Of West Virginia.
Mr.. Allen was an honest, intelligent
man, and a patriotic law-abiding citizen.

A Historic Dutchman.

Hearing that old Grampfen, who lives
in one of the back districts, was nearly q
hundred years old, and that his memory
still remained bright with regard to
events long past, we armed ourself with
a roll of paper and a goodly supply oi
pencils, we started forthwith. to "inter.
view" him. We found the old gentleman
of rather a tallxative turn, for a man a
hundred years old. After the usual civil
titles we proceeded to business"
"Mr. Grampfen, we are told that you
are near one hundred years Of age"
yah, dat's droo. Be ninedy-zix dis
winter"
"You remember events as far back as
the time OF Washington ?"
"Inteed do"
"You have seen George Washington,
Mr.. Grampfen p
Many a dime-many a dime. He
gooms to my vadder's house, unit / dell
you dot weller could drink more peer as
emmy man vot efer seed"
We felt disposed to argue with the old
man on this point, but he would yield
nothing. He was firm as a rock.
"How do you think Gen. Washington
would compare, as a commander, with
the Generals of our time, Mr.. GrampfenY'
George Washington vas no sheneral-
he drofe a team" Here we lost patience.
"Mr Grampfen, do you expect to make
US believe that George Washington, the
father Of his country, was a teamster p
"Who sed ennyding pout der vader of
der goondry2
Were you not talking about the father
of his country ?"
"Och Mein Gott, no. / vas dalkin
pout Georgel Washington Schlater, my
brudder-in-law, vot died NIT der schmall
pox."
We hastily gathered up our paper, pen.
ellis, and things, and departed vowing
that the next hundred-year.old Dutch
man we heard Of, we would let him Sc
verely alone.
