mousIy adopted:
i. Whereas, it has pleased an all wise Provi-

Death OF NIr. j. J. Perkins.

1t does seem as if the grim de-
stroyer, Death, has been more than
usually active in our midst this
winter, and it is now our regretful
Office to chronicle the death of an
other of our good citizens, Mr.. John
J. Perkins, who died at his residence
i'm South GAINESVILLE on Sunday
night last. The deceased lived to
the advanced age of sixty years, and
through all these years his life was
honorable, upright and without re-
proach. He was, what has been
fifty termed the nOblest work of
God, an honest man. To his family
and relations there can come no
more consoling thought than that
he will be sadly missed by those
among whom he lived, and his
memory kept green in the hearts of
all who knew him. His funeral SER
vices were solemnized at his resi-
dence on last Tuesday morning by
the Rev. l. ]. Spencer, and his
remains inferred at the City ceme-
terry.

During the past week there have
been heavy rains and foods in the
south and Southwest. AT New Or
leans lastSunday the rain storm was
the heaviest ever recorded at that
signal Office. The cautionary sig
nal flag displayed 1T the Custom
house. was torn into shreads. Many
breaks We're reported along the lev
ees, and the entire lower part of the
city was submerged with water,
causing great damage to fences and
other property. A dispatch from
that city said (:
The crevasse in the new and old
canal levees submerged nearly all
that portion OF the city west of
Broad Street between the two ca
mails. and all west OF John street and
north as far us Ursuline street.
Within this.last mentioned district,
embracing one hundred squares, the
streets and sidewalks are entirely
covered with water. Great efforts are
being made by theauthorities to close
the breaks in the canal levees, not
withstanding the water at all points
is rising. The shell road from New
Lake End to the Hallway House
is two feet under water. Over three
hundred fences were blown down.
The roof of wing of the State
House, in which are the offices of
the Superintendent of Education |
and Commissioner of Immigration,
was blown off, and the records re-
ceived wetting. Algiers suffered |
terribly, nearly every fence In town |
being blown down also smoke /
stacks and roofs. A building ON
Valette street was blown to pieces.
The signal officer reports threaten
ing weather, with brisk, easterly
winds, which will have the effect of
forcing more water into the city
from the lake and gulf. The water J
in the rear of the city is rising and
spreading rapidly. The indications
are that by Tuesday noon, all the
city west of Claiborne street, from
Carrolton to Elysian fields streets,
will be submerged.
The water along the Mobile rail-
road is higher to-day, with indica-
tons that the entire rOadbed, from
to Lookout station is
submerged.
Great obstruction to property at
Omaha and Kansas City, is also re-
ported. Telegraph and railroad
were interrupted
in many stations. The storm and
rain in the northwest jim some parts
was unprecedented. The Missouri
and Kansas rivers threatened to
overflow their banks, and great dis

Rev. Hammer. I'D.

On Sunday last we had the priv
ilege of listening to the Rev. J. w.
Hammer at the Methodist church.
He took his text from the 5th chap
ter of Ephesians, I'd verse. After
hearing many of the great men of
the different denominations, we un-
hesitatingly pronounce this sermon,
one of the finest and most eloquent
specimens of pulpit power and ora
tory to which we have ever listen
ed. The passages on love, on suf-
fering, on the cross, exhibited a
wealth and splendOr of language
rarely possessed, and presented to
the mind beautiful pictures, jew
elled with gems of profound thought
and true religion.
