This has certainly been the case.

McHenry.

Last Saturday as Mr.. Jonas Glot-
felty and family were eating dinner
they discovered that their house was
on fire. Their efforts to save it proved
fruitless. They succeeded, however,
in saving the greater portion of their
household goods. They sustained
considerable loss, as some of their
goods were burned and the orchard
being very near the house, some of
the fruit trees were badly damaged.
The house caught fire from the stove
pipe. There was no insurance. Mr..
Glotfelty is one of our most enter
prising farmers and the loss of his
house at this busy season of the year
places him in a very embarrassing
situation. He has the sympathy of
the community.
The work on the road is now COM
pleted as far as GravelIy Run dis
lance of about two miles. The cost for
this distance is about four hundred
and sixty dollars. The work is uni
versally pronounced, by the people
travelling over it, to be good.

was washed away. West of Mt. Saw
age there was no damage. The morn.
ing passenger train did not reach here
at all and the afternoon train had to
transfer and WAS late. Several days
will be required to repair the damage
and in the meantime passengers and
freight will be transfer. ed.
There was some damage to en-
bankments on the Bedford division
of the Pennsylvania road and the
noon train did not reach here until
after 3 P. NJ. A large portion of an
abutment of the trestling between
the bridges in the Narrows on the
Pennsylvania railroad in Maryland
was washed away, but this was re-
paired yesterday morning by tempo
rary blocking. The Georges Creek
and Cumberland road was not dam
aged at all.
The county bridge over jennings
Run at Corigansville was carried
away, as also the small county bridge
at Lafferty's.
Along Eyitt's creek the damage
was very heavy, The water was of
such volume that ii tore the new
bridge just built by the county COM
m1ssioners at Union grove from the
banks and carried it down to Beall 81
Wilson's mill and through the mill
dam, carrying that structure with it.
The water continued to increase in
velocity and height and on reaching
Folck's mills, now operated by Gas
kill & Everstine, it completely car
ried away the dam, and damaged
quantity of grain on the first floor of
the mill. Gaskill & EYerstine esti-
mate their loss at 800. At the first
bridge on the Williams road, three
miles from town the water rose to an
unprecedented height. One of the
abutments of the bridge was carried
away, but the superstructure of the
bridge remained intact. On the farm
of DR.. N. G. Read, Williams road,
operated by John Knight, the corn,
oats and grass were badly damaged
by the continuous rain and the over
flowing of the creek. The farm Of
Theodore Valentine, on the OIdtown
road, suffered in a similar manner.
There was more rain yesterday, but
the waters fell considerably and no
more damage is apprehended.- CUM

to obtain any adequate idea of the
damage done by the high waters, on

is doubtless much still unreported.
The damage to grain through the

many bridges and dams were de-
stroyed. Thousands of dollars will
be required to cover the loss. We

Latest from GAINESVILLE, W. Va.

Mr.. EDIToR:-We have in our
town a young man who claims to
have hailed from Garrett County; he
is Medical student under the tutor
age of DR.. A. Fechtner, and has for
some time past been a contributor to
the Oakland REPUBLICAN, a paper
that is read and priced by quite a
number of the people of this town.
His contributions have been of vast
importance, indeed, to the people at
large, and most especially to residents
of GAINESVILLE, who have heard from
him now for the third time. From
his communications most any one
can readily see that he is both a gen.
tleman and a scholar, as we'll as a
man of great rhetorical power. al
ways using the big ], and the little u,
and signing to his articles such ficti-
tious names as Leo" "Una," and
the like. In most every article we
see something loud with reference to
"Dr. A. Fichtner and his medical
student" "Dr. A. Fichtner and Mr..
E. E. Enlow," "Dr. A. Fichtner and
his student have ordered a human
skeleton for Themselves" Oh, my !;
Will no one be allowed for once to
look upon that wonder of the world
but themselves ? Why, we'd all like
to see it. Again, "We are under the
impression that our medical student
is very intimate with the fair sex,
judging from the number of bouquets
he receives" Now isn't that too
thin-worse than bosh. Now for the
little u. He tries to degrade and be-
little the people here as much as he
can. He refers to Mr.. r. M. Enlow
as little boy about six feet tall who
went out flying kites. Now, Mr.. r.
M. Enlow is his friend and relative.
He is our merchant here man who
attends to his own business, and, as
far as we know, NEEDLES not with
things that does not concern him ;
and if he sees fit to go out with the
boys to fly their kites need any one
cry about it? Again he says, "Mr.
M. j. Miller's distillery is well pat
ronized by some of our citizens
making out that we are a drunken
crew in GAINESVILLE. Here is a false
impression which he sends abroad
that is calculated to damage us serious
ly. Who in the town of GAINESVILLE
goes to Mr., M. j. Miller's distillery
so often? Name him out in your
next letter, and sign your name to il
like a man. Again he says: 1--WE
perceive that the magic cure tor brain
fever is to send for ones sweet heart
Here he is sluring young man in
Sang Run neighborhood, who came
very near death from that serious
and often fatal disease above mention.
ed. And then with reference to the
Sunday Schools of the County he
says, in very humiliating way
1--WE are sorry to say Sunday Schools
have been sadly neglected in thi,
county" Now we think that the
Sunday Schools of Preston County
will compare very favorably with
those of any adjoining county. They
