THE ACCOUNTABLE LICK CREEK.
have to announce that the abomina
bic Lick creek has been on another ram
page, since wrote you last Saturday.
The rain commenced to fall copiously
last Sunday night, and continued to
pour down with the greatest success all
night. Monday morning it needed no
prophet to foretell that the waters in the
creek would be up. Tuesday morning
the stream was swollen, and it continued
to swell till o'clock at night, when it
ceased, and the water was about sta
tionary till Thursday afternoon, when
it began to recede, aud shrank very fast.
This morning it is fordable.
TRAVELLERS DETAINED,
Wednesday afternoon, John N. Will
Hams and W. E. Howell who were sre-
turning home from South Carolina,
rode up to the opposite shore of Lick
creek and inquired the prospect of get
ting over. They were informed that
taeir only chance was to swim their
horses aud come over in the canoe. For
prudential reasons, Mr., Williams did
not desire to risk his horse in the
raging" stream, SO he returned to Mr..
Gains to stay all night, saying that the
stream would be down in the morning
But when the morning came it was not
down bit, SO Mr.. Williams had to
swim his horse at last He keenly ap-
preciates the want of bridge here as
well as all other stock drivers who hap
pen along when Lick creek has its
"back up"
FOR SOUTH CAROLINA.
Luther B: Bewley and Robert Ray
started for South Carolina with drove
of horses and mules, yesterday (Wed-
nesday) morning. They had to swim
their animals.
THE COLD, COLD WINTER.
The winter has been so severely cold
that farmers fear their winter oats are

pond near here, o'nights now, for no one
has fired gun near here for long
time.
