The Rev. .Joseph Cook spent his
boyhood on farm not far from old
Fort Tieonderoga, where his father
still lives. 1t is related that when
the now famous preacher was boy
of fourteen, the library of the dis
trict was sold at auction, and he
bought several of the books. Next
morning he was sent by his father to
do some work iii the meadow. He
took his books with him, and, getting
in shady nook, lay down on the
turf to read few pages. Immersed
in the interest of his book, he noticed
not the fight of time. Dinner hour
came but he was absent from the tae
BILE. Alarmed, his father sent out to
search for him, and late in the after
noon found him, still reading and all
unconscious of how low the sun was
in the west. From that time for
ward he was never asked to do any
more farm work, but was sent to
school and allowed to follow the in
clination of his mind.

THE OPENING GUN.

On yesterday, Capt VIM. Rule
opened the campaign at Strawberry
Plains, where he formally arraigned
his competitor at the bar OF public
opinion fer high crimes and INSIDE
meanor, in office. The indictment
was drawn by the master hand OF
John Bell BrownIow. And, not
withstanding the many and varied
counts in the Indictment, Captain
Rule succeeded in establishing, by
unimpeached and unimpeachable
testimony, each and every allegation
therein contained The first wit
ness introduced was the Rev. Mr..
Ruble, who has devoted the greater
part OF his life to the service of the
Master, and wherever known is
recognized as a Jealous Christian
and a truthful gentleman. The
witness repeated the cruel,
the unpatriotlc and inhuman
remarks made by the little boss
concerning the death of that great
and good mBn, the late President
Garfield, and made too, at time,
when the entire nation was draped
i'll mourning and bathed in tears. 1t
was also made to appear how the
''Iittle boss left his post of duty at
Washington and went to Nashville
and aided III defeating the Hon
Horace Maynard for the United
States Senate.
The Congressional Record, a ST
lent but truthful monitor, then rose
up IN judgment against the <'iittle
boss" and testified to his absence
from roll call during the greater part
OF the last session OF Congress. A
perfect cloud OF witnesses then APP
peared upon the stand and related
the old old story of the
''boss long continued DRINKS
at Washington, Nashville, Knoxville,
and other places, too numerous to
mention. Captain Rule then pro-
ceeded to show the way in which the
boss got III and the plight IN which
he came out OF chat calabeose at
Washington, and concluded with a
graphic and hrilling rehearsal Of
that ''pizeh" narrative, as told by tue
boss in his operaehouse speech,
The good people present then re
solved themselves into a jury, and,
without retiring from their places,
returned verdict of guilty, in mans
ner and form as charged in the in
dictment. Like proceedings will be
enacted elsewhere, and we advise our
readers to go, see and hear for them-
selves.

FLOODS OF t
A threatening Outlook Ahead.

The rivers are very high all around
us and promise 10 go higher. From
the news received this forenoon the
outlook ahead is anything but encour,
aging,
Heretofore there has been consid-
cradle difference Of opinion as
10 the level Of the water during the
great rise Of 1862, claimed, and prop
erly too, the highest on record. From
present indications these disputes bid
fair to be settled for all future time by
the water of 1882, which will likely be
the highest ever known.
The entire country to the north.
west Of us is flooded. The afluents Of
the Missouri river are running over,
and the rise Of the Mississippi at
St. Louis is very rapid. Over the
Wabash valley a perfect deluge Of
water has fallen, and the center of low
barometric area there this morning in
dicates a further rainfall. The lower
tributaries ofthe Ohio, including the
Wabash from the north and the Cum
berland, Green and Tennessee from
the south. all enter the parent stream
between Evansville and Paducah, q
distance ofone hundred and fifty miles.
These streams generally send us
heavy floods which inundate
large bodies of land along the lower
Mississippi, without the addition of
high water in other streams. They
are all full to o~verAowing at the pres
ent time while the upper Ohio is in a
state of freshet which threatens to ex-
coed anything on record. AT the same
time the waters above st. Louis il
they do not drive the Mississippi out
Of its banks between that point and
Cairo, will put it at a very high stage.
ALI of this is anything but cheering ia
the people of the valleys.

Misins Waasru,

This mornings Signal Service tsiis.
gram from Washington City gives the
following statement Of the rivers, the
same being their condition ut 3 o'clock
yesterday afternoon
THE rivers have risen los inches at
st. Louis, and at the points hereafter
named are above the danger line /:
Cairo, 6 feet 4 inches, with 5 inches
rise Memphis, II inches, and station
airy; Vicksburg, 3 feet 3 inches, with
l inch rise; Shreveport, l foot 5
inches, with 6 inches rise; Cincinnati,
5 feet 6 inches, with 80 inches rise /;
Louisville, 6 feet 6 inches, with AZ
inches rise"
A private telegram from Cincinnati,
received here this morning, says:
Tho river is 5S1 feet, and rising
rapidly. Steamboat business is sus-
pended, and vessels have all laid up"
The great rise of 1882, the highest
water ever known, was 60 feet, and
the present freshet bids fair to go
beyond that.
