Washouts and Freshets-Sto ppage of
Trains-Heavy Rainfall.
RICHMOND, Va, July 3.-The heavy rain
fall in the past forty-eight hours has caused
a damaging rise in all the streams in this
section of the State. The James river at
this point is ten feet above high water mark,
and all the wharves in the lower part of the
city (Rocketts) are submerged, the water
being about seven feet deep in lower Main
street and still rising The people living
in that vicinity are moving out, and mer-
chants are removing their goods to places
of safety. No apprehensions are
felt however, of a serious freshet. At
Columbia, five miles above here, the water
is twenty-five and one-half feet above low
water mark and rising slowly. Several
trestles on the Richmond s. Allegheny rail-
road have been washed away, causing a
temporary suspension of travel. The rise
of the waters in the North Anna river has
caused a stOppage of trains on the Rich
mond, Fredericksburg & Potomac railroad.
No northern trains have been re-
ceived here since last night, nor have any
gone north over that road. Washouts on
the Richmond & Danville road have also
stopped traffic over that line. The rainfall
in Richmond in the last fOrty-eight hours

CONTRASTS.

Z sing little country maid,
The subject of NV ditty,
As sweet as any primrose, strayfd
Within the dusty city.
Her eyes we're deepest hazel, hair
In wavy coils that wanderd
Around her brow-a sunbeam fair
Gold CLEANS in it had squander'd
Her simple gown Of Holden gray
Was brghten'd by ribbon,
Arranged in some historic way
Unknown to Hume or Gibbon
So sweet maid. so fair face,
That strangers passing slowly
Return'd to view the winning grace
Which made the dim street holy.
A naughty dame stepped lightly down
From out her stately carriage,
Intent on ruling in the town
By love or lofty marriage.
The little maid look'd up, and sigh'd:
"0h, for her silks and laces;"
The naughty dame in sorrow cried:
Love, grant me half her graces.

"A writer in the american Bar SAYS
that a Twenty-fourth street horse
dealer, who goes every year to Ken
tucky to attend horse sales, bought last
year a plantation very cheap. The
only buildings are a tumble-down
house and barn, and this spring, while
repairing the house, he found ia the
cellar a large case containing thirty
one barrels Of whisky, all bearing date
Of 1861. The man who had owned the
place was an old bachelor. The fre-
quent raids during the war led him TO
turn his ready money into whisky,
which he bid. Soon after he was killed
and no one knew of the liquor. Thirty
one barrels of twenty
Kentucky whisky are worth a good
deal.
