passed under a vine-lramed window.
"Au repoir" was echoed in sweet,

horseman saw a bewitching picture
that he carried away in his memory

lingering sunset glow touched into In

and large, thoughtful, tender eyes q

Just the same exquisitely fair face

face and him, it had never before

Heaviest Flood Recorded In Twenty
Years---0reat Damage to

EMPoRI la. Pa, January 5.-The heavy
rains for the past two days and large guam
titles of snow on the timbered hills have
conspircd to produce the most violent
foods KIN own for many years along the
Driftwood and Senna-Mahoning creeks.
Million OF logs nave broken from their fast
enings an are going down the swollen river
at a terrific rate. 1t is said that the loss to
lumberme en- will approximate $4,000, 900.
At this place there is over two feet of water
in many OF the streets. Reports from Cam
eron state that the greater part OF that
town is under water, and the residents are
in great fear lest their houses be swept
away. Many residences had to be vacated
A million feet of logs were torn loose and
swept do wn Hunts Run. Saw mills and
dams in various places along the creeks are
in imminent danger OF being swept away
The waite rs are well up in DriftwOod creek
where considerable damage has been d one
Last night was q night OF great anxietyand
excitement all through the valley.
AT LoCKHAvEN.
The food on the Susquehanna river at
this point is within two feet Of being as
high as it was in 1865. The greater part
of the city is flooded, but the damage cal
not be estimated. Large quantities OF saw
logs have broken loose in the creeks above,
and are passing here, as the boom cannot
be hung. The canal il reported to be badly
damaged. The thermometer is still rising.
AT wILLIAMsPORT.
The river is still rising slowly, but it is
believed that it has commenced falling at
head of the stream; all the booms west OF
Renon and several million feet of new logs
vent down this morning. The wateris new

railroad station in this city and the tracks
are covered both above and below the sta

Creek or Beech roads to-day. The train
from the east of Philadelphia and Reading,

the bridges are impossible. A train was
sent dow n from here to transfer passengers,
and it has not been able to return. Cars

AT SHENANDOAH.
The ~rainstorm throughout this section Of
yesterday and last night was the most Sc
we're for a number of years. No less than
twelve cOllieries in the Mahoney valley are
flooded and thrown idle by the rains, and
the trains on all the railroads have been
delayed from two to eighteen hours. There
are three washouts between Delano and
Ashland, on the Lehigh Valley Railway.
Some of the flooded collieries will require
some time to remove the water so as to be
able to resume operations.
