A Mother and Her Five Children Drowned.

Captain Richard Smith of the steamerAva-
Ion, which arrived at Baltimore yesterday
morning reports that on Friday night last,
about 10 o'clock, q woman and her five chill
dren, named Bush, were drowned in flood
and washout near Heathsville. North1lmbcr-
land county. Va. Mr.. Bush owned mill
and dwelling at the point indicated, the
dwelling being located below the mill dam
Owing to the heavy rains, the mill stream
rose rapidly, and finally swept away the
dam. The whole volume Of water then
swept with terrific force upon the dwelling
below carrying everything before it. Mrs
Bush and all the children were in The house
and were swept away with the dwelling
which was soon broken to pieces. Mr.. Bush
was probably in the mill at the time looking
after its safety, rs he was not drowned The
bodies of three OF the children were recover
ed before the Avalon left for Baltimore, the
bodies of Mrs. Bush and two of the children
still being missing. There is much excite
ment in the neighberhood over the drown
ing. On Saturday morning there was fifteen
feet of water where the dwelling stood the
day before.
The storm was very violent in all that sec
ton OF country, and also in Gloucester and
MiddleseN counties. Some five or six
bridges over the Piankatank river. which
divides the counties have been swept away.
and communication between the two coun-
ties Is cut off. A number of mills have also
been swept away by the floods.
