n Town in Hungary DeIuged-Many
Lives Lost.
VIENNA, Jan. 10.-The town of Raab.
Hungary, and the adjacent villages, had
been only saved from inundatiOn thus far
by frost. When the thaw commenced the
water suddenly rose all over the district.
At three O'Clock yesterday morning the
inhabitants were aroused by alarm bells,
and commenced a rapid flight. Large
numbers of fugitives crowded into the
sOlidly built theatre, which stands
on an island in the midst of a
park, but here a new panic arose, the
water gradually rising as far as the first
gallery. Meanwhile, around Raab the
dykes breaking, at length admitted the
deluge, which soon reached the inner
town, containing 5000 fugitives, as well
as the ordinary inhabitants. A consider
able number of lives were lost, but, for
tunately, the flood did not reach to some
of the higher parts of the town, and
ceased to rise at noon. The city of Gran.
on the Danube, the seat Of the Hungarian
Primate, is also menaced by floods. The
foundations in the neighborhood of the
town of KOmern, at the confluence of the
Waag with the Danube, are also particu-
larly extensive.

A WHIsTLING Buoy 10 hE PLACED
OFF HATTERAs.-COmman Evans,
Lighthouse Inspector here, has received
orders to place an automatic whistling
buoy twelve miles southeast of Hatteras
Shoals, which is in his district, and is
considered one Of the most dangerous
places on the coast The buoy is on hand
at New York, and viii be placed at the
point named, in twelve fath0ms water, at
the first favorable opportunity. The whis
Ting buoy is an iron hollow affair, which
floats on the water, rising and falling with
the waves, and at each motion emitting a
horrible soEeech. : petition for a light
ship on the shoals has been circulated
also, but Capt. Evans says they have
never been able to keep one there. A
lightship would remain in ordinary
weather, but would certainly carry away
in heavy weather, destroying the ship and
involving loss OF life. TIE Inspector
thinks a Pintsch lighted buoy, which
burns six months without attention. and
which if carried away would involve no
loss Of life, would be the proper thing for
snch a dangerous Baltimore Sun,

A BRIDGE ON BOTToNiLEss MUD.-Su-
perintendent Harahan, of the New Orleans
and Mobile division, Louisville and Nash
vile Road, tells a Mobile Register repor-
ter as follows about the Bay st. Louis
bridge; "a Z
at is built upon bottom of tenacious
mud or clay. You can drive one pile
down upon another for ever so many feet
no one knows how manv-and not touch
bottom; but we found that when pile is
driven from thirty to forty feet into The
mud and allowed to stand a day in that
situation the cfayey substance grasps the
wood and holds it so tightly that the ham,
mer of the pile driver rebounds when it
falls upon the top of the pile. From this
idea that the piles have no bottom foun-
dation comes the erroneous report that
the bridge rests Oh nothing, ana is only
held together by the side-bracing and
trussing. The fact is that no bridge or
trestle in this country has a firmer foun-
datioD, or would so successfully resist for
long series Of years the rough usage it
receives from the heavy traiiic above and
bufEeting of the eiwayes below.''

Comptroller Campbell.

We think 1t is public misfortune that Mr.
CAMPBELL has found it necessary to resign
on account OF bad health. We suppose that
the original cause of his illness is mortitlca-
ton at the coupon frauds. To n man Of sem
sitive constitution and high moral ambition.
lik" Mr.. CAMPBELL, nothing worse could
happen than to find that such frauds had
taken place in his own Office and under the
shield Of his character and authority. A
man OF duller and less exalted nature
might take such an event composedly, but
Mr.. CAMPBELL felt it us blow at his honor.
We say the resignation is public mis-
fortune, because IL is not likely that we shall
obtain another Comptroller OF such genuine
quality or such elevated motives. There is
nothing base about him. He is a gentleman
through and through.
Who will be his successor? This Is q
question that Mayor Epson has to answer.
We trust, for his own sake as well as for the
sake Of the public interest, that he will not
appoint any relation Of his own or any per-
sonal favorite, but some citizen Of such stand
ing that all the people will say amen to the
appointment.

We have heard good deal said within tho
last three or four years against the European
sparrow, but probably very few persons have
rs yet experienced much trouble on account
OF the presence Of that bird In this part OF
the country. The sparrows do not destroy
as many caterpillars as they destroyed when
first introduced, and they have been derelict
so far as the new hairy caterpillar is con-
cerned; but up to the present time In this
region they have not proved an Affirmative
ammo. ance to any great extent.
II we may believe DIR. ELLIOTT CoUEs Of
tho United States Army, however, these
birds should be classed with house rats,
mice, cockroachcs, and similar nuisances.
They fail in the insect eating duty they were
imported to perform. They drive away tho
best singers among our native birds. They
require more and more grain every year to
feed their vastly increasing numbers, and
tho distinguished ornithologist Wa have
mentioned estimates that tho value Of the
crop consumed annually by the European
sparrow will soon amount to millions.
The determination OF the sparrows has al
ready been undertaken In Australia, and
seems equally desirable In New Zealand.
Both countries have learned what nuissnces
