Big Flood on the Gunpowder.-The heavy
rain which we experienced on Wednesday night,
caused an almost unprecedented Hood on the Gun
nowder The storm must have peen mucn
more violent in the upper end of the county, ana
we learn that great damage was done to properly
along that stream. Bridges and fences were car
ried away. wheat and corn fields devastated and
Although the rain fell during the night the
flood did not reach Loeb Raven until about 3
o'clock Thursday afternoon, and the sight pre-
sented there was an extraordinary one. At a..
m. the depth of water passing over the dam was
five inches, and between and p. m. it had
swelled to volume of between six and seven feet.
gentleman who witnessed the scene says the
lake looked like wheat field, its surface being
covered with wheat sheaves, intermingled with
logs, fences, trees with leaves them, lumber &C.,
and he says the sight presented was one rarely
witnessed. Among other things passing over the
dam he noticed dead sheep and a bundle of
brown paper, the latter no doubt coming from one
of the paper mills many miles up the stream.
At Merediths Ford and CromwelPs bridges the
water spread out over the banks, rendering it i'm
possible to cross the bridges and greatly impeding
travel.
The dams at Hofman's paper mills were wash
ed away; damage about $4,000. Also the dams
at Beckley's mill, Beckleysvie, and Burkes mill,
White Hall. A number of county bridges in the
vicinity of Hoffman's, Shamberger's, Young's and
Beckley's mills, and at other points along the
stream were carried away. Mr.. Young, of the 9th
district, also lost his stock of straw and large
scales.
1t is feared that the damage along the stream
has been very great, but up to the hour of going
to press we have been unable to collect sufi :
cient data to estimate the probable loss. Those
who had crops growing on the lowlands along the
falls have suffered most, and in some instances
the entire crops of farmers have been swept off,
entailing very serious damage.

Narrow Escape.-Mr. Thos. C. Bruf of the

afternoon last. He was in the city and on his
way to Boundary avenue Station, to take the 4.3O
train home, he met Mr.. VIM. Ii. Morris, who in
vited him to ride out that far, he having a new
horse on trial. When they reached the east side
of Boundary avenue bridge the horse frightened

What the B. & o. is Doing.-The Sun says
the 18th district road supervisors reported unani-
mously to the County Commissioners in favor of
the system of improvements adopted and now be-
ing carried out by the B. and O. Railroad Com
pany for its Philadelphia extension, six miles
northeast of Chase's Station. Running the line
necessitates deep cut for the track near the
fourteen mile stone of the Philadelphia turnpike
The railroad in this locality crosses under what
is known as the Red Lion or Old Colonial Post
road near Patterson's Mills The cut is so feet
deep. Two private roads run beside the Red
Lion road, and converge 200 yards north of the
cut. The railroad company has provided in lieu
of the old system wooden single-span bridge
200 feet long, above the grade of the track, to-
gether with an avenue parallel with the track,
with crossing at grade short distance east from
the bridge at the point where depot will be es-
tabished. The company will have to spend in
the neighborhood of 100000 in this locality,
necessitated by the deep cut and the bridge
Some decided objection was at first raised to the
company's plans, but when the system was devel-
oped and its comprehensive advantages were de-
monstrated last week, very nearly unanimous as
sent was given to the scheme. The depot to be
established in the locality will be known as Rock
Brook Station. The neighborhood is thickly

A SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS ENTERPRIsE.-Mr.
Joseph Wardin who short time ago established
a stationery and newspaper store in the thriving
town of Waverly, is succeeding far beyond his
most sanguine expectations, and the store is filling
a want long felt in that place. The young lady
who has charge of the store is most polite and
accommodating, serving her numerous customers
with promptness and satisfaction, and she deserves
the liberal patronage she is receiving. In con-
nection with his other business Mr.. Wardin is the
agent for the sale of tickets for the 0riole Base
Ball grounds, and when the season opens the
lovers of this sport can be supplied with admission
tickets at his store. The people of Waverly should,
and we believe will, sustain this new business

mg- Mr.. Richard A. Proctor holds that if the
full power of the arms and legs can be so applied
to ingeniously arranged mechanism as to work
wings more or less resembling those of bird,
there is little reason of doubling mans power of
sustaining himself in the air and even travelling
with great rapidity through it. Probably, he
adds, it will be much easier for him to sustain
himself while travelling rapidly onward than while
lowering over the same spot.
