NEW Posi- oFFICE.-A post-office
has been established at Highland
Mills, Morgan county, w. Va, three
miles Southwest of Sleepy Creek
Bridge, with John Frederick as Post
master. Now who says Morgan coun-
ty hasn't one good Republican P. M?
During the past two days unprece-
dented rains have fallen in this Sec
ton and along West of US, which had
caused the river to rise at noon on
Thursday to within feet Of the great
freshet in 1877, and still rising. The
tracks of the B. & o. r. R. of Sir
Johns Run are some four feet under
water and trains are now standing at
that points along the road where the
flood overlook them. A great num-
Der of cross-ties and numerous RATS
have been washed off. The water
reached the second floor of Menden-
HALLS mill, but anticipating the high
water, everything that could be NOV
ed was taken to an upper floor. The
probabilities are that the mails will
be delayed some % or 80 hours. 1t is
thought no serious damage is done to
the tracks.
Sleepy Creek has also been on
rampage this week, but as yet we
have heard of but little damage being
done.

FIRE.-On last Tuesday night about
10 O'Clock, the cry of fire was heard,
and the ringing of the fire-bells soon
gave a general alarm. 1t was found
the front room of the large brick store
house of VIM. N. Eddy, on the corner
of Market and Baker streets, was in
flames and burning fiercely. The fire
engines were hurried to the spot, and
in a short time were throwing streams
of water into the building. After
some time the fire was got under con-
troll, and finally entirely suppressed.
The firemen did noble service and
worked with will. The flames were
confined to the front room and did not
extend to the extensive ware rooms
in the rear. The loss is estimated at
about $4,000 on goods and building,
with insurance covering the loss. The
origin of the fire is unknown. Large
crowds of citizens stood spectators of
the scene Notwithstanding the rain
was falling at the time Winchester
