COLUMBIA NEWS.


From Our Regular Correspondent.
People are already planning their trips
for the Fourth of July. There will bo
nothing of interest going on here, not
even a public display Of fireworks in the
the evening. Young America will burn
his fingers and scOrch his face with pow
der as usual, people will walk listlessly
about tho streets grnmbling because they
had not gone to some other town for .
trip, and then when night comes all will
go tO bed, glad that tho day il over. This
is the prospect for Columbia Oh the ma
tiOn's birthday anniversary. IL the town
had in it some citizen Of sufficient public
spirit who would afford tho people nice
display of fireworks in tho evening then
some pleasure could be anticipated.
Tho kaIns.
The heavy rains Of last night and to day
have done much damage in this neighbor-
hood. Tho streets have been washed
out in q number of places, and broken
branches from trees can be seen in prOfu-
sion. Tho creek which flows Gown from
the hills at the Henry Clay furnace over
flowed during the night and flooded tho
casting house. The water also covered
the Pennsylvania railroad track to depth
of several inches for short time. Farm
ers report considerable damage to tho
crops and especially to tho giass which
had been already cut.
