The Rain Fall and Whitney Lake-Loss
 cfa aHorse-WhitneyvilIe Church. The powerful rain fall Saturday added to previous rains has filled Lake Whitney, and about two feet of water was pouring over the dam yesterday. The water is very seldom as high in Lake Whitney as at present The roaring of the water as it flows over the dam could be heard yesterday in the city at points a mile or more distant. The water ran yes terday morning within six inches of the bot tom of the covered bridge. Boats usually can pass under the bridge with room to spare for the head of the rowers. Old residents have, however, seen the water even with the bottom of the bridge and overhowing the road at either end of the bridge.
 A horse in the stables of the Whitneyville road was taken sick with collie Saturday af- ternoon and died about midnight. It was worth about $2oo.
 At the Whitneyville Congregational church yesterday forenoon Rev. MT. Teller, of the Howard avenue church, officiated, preaching from the words Job 26-14, ''Lo, these parts af his ways but how little portion is heard of him. but the thunder of his power who can understand" The discourse was comforting to those in affiiction or in dis tr ss, to whom the cup bitter, provided they, like Job, trusted in God, for what was seen but in part in this life of his plans and mercies would be revealed hereafter The speaker cited as an illustra- ton the picture blocks which his children played with. Take them separately and the object could not be seen, but when the | blocks were all arranged properly beautiful picture was seen. The speaker also spoke of the mistake of Jobs friends who con- l strued his many affiiotions to indicate that he must have been very wicked sinner.
