some miraculous manner managed to get
out OF the devastating flood. He was

The flats northwest OF the LaBelle

At the south end Of the Eoff street
bridge, on the west side OF the street,
stood a neat frame cottage Of story and
half in height, owned and occupied by
John Springer, iron worker. 1t was,wiped
entirely out OF existence and with it
went all he had except the lives Of his
family, which were spared to him.
They got out Just in time to avoid the

waters swirled under its foundations.

ure that was reported TO be undermined
in way that made it dangerous. The
truth OF this could not be ascertained,
however, us the condition OF things was
such that one could not safely reach the
south side Of the stream.
IN TIE EIGHTH WARD.
Great damage is reported to have beer
done 10 the brick yard Of the West Vir'
ginia Mining and Manufacturing Com
pany at the east end OF Thirth.nintt
street. Mr.. Dave Brooks, q member o.
this concern, said last night that the los
would probably reach 81 800 at the very
least. The stables OF the company OF
Caldwell's run we're also injured some
what. Kasley's blacksmith shop OF
Caldwell's run had one side caved il
and washed away by the ungovernabl'
food.
ANOTHER LIFE LOST.
But meagre reports were to be had o
the devastating effects of the awfu
cloud burst up Bogg's run, just below
the city limits, but from what is known
OF the damage that has heretofore beeI
done along that stream on the occasion
Of ordinary heavy storms, 1t is not diff
cult TO imagine that the storm OF las
night must have caused losses that cal
never be properly estimated.
The water is known to have beer
from four to five feet over the bridg,
crossing the run just beyond the Hork
heimer tannery, but strangeto relate, thI
bridge is still standing. A man nance
Keltz is known to have been up the ruI
with a buggy. The horse, with tn,
buggy attached, was found drowned ant
bearing evidence OF having been WASHED
some distance by the awful current, bu
no trace could be found Of Keltz, and HI
is doubtless lost.
At Benwood nearly half the town wa
flooded, the water standing from an incl
to two feet in depth in large humble
OF houses. Much sufIeringand discom
fort has been caused thereby and no lit
tie loss has been occasioned. All tn,
industrial establishments were forced t,
close down by reason OF the breakage il
the gas supply.

You cannot afford to waste time in

cheap imitation of DR.. Kings New Dis

Because he can make more profit he
may tell you he has something just as

of Applebin that have made their liv.
ing are out of debt, and have accumu-
lated $4,000 twelve thousand dollars
in nine years. Why, you are more in
dependent than a Texas steer on ice.n
Jerry made no reply. We went to
Applebin the next day, and Of his own
accord Jerry went to the barber shop.
| concluded best not to let up on my
missionary work and gave the barber
the cue. It didn't take the barber long
to make Jerry think he ought to take
one of his salt baths. "They's mighty
fine for rheumatic and Jerry went in
for the whole round. which, with q
shave and shampoo, materially disguis-
ed my hero.
Then we sauntered near clothing
store, and I saw that Jerry's longing
eyes took-in enviously my business suit.
and it was not long until the dealer had
him. clothed in new suit and stiff hat.
The Gcni Of Alladin's Lamp never
made more complete transformation.
I don't believe in dattery. It's the
devils own tale. But neither do be.
lieve in the gospel of condemnation.
To make man see that he is of value
to himself, his family, and his neigh
borhood. aud to make him appreciate
his surroundings, is as good missionary
work as can be done.
Since coming away learn that Jerry
has sold part of his hogs. That the
new suit brought to Jerry estate of
mind'' that was not satisfied until Mrs.
Jerry was much better fixed up with
clothing and millinery; that there is
talk of new organ and light buggy for
quick trips to Applebin; that the farm
is NOT FOR SALE. I learned before com
ing away what Jerry did not know, viz:
that the neie ehbors were talking ofsend
ing Jerry to the legislature next winter
if he would go. There were some
needed reforms, and the farmers were
sure it would be safe trust their inter
ests to him.

Wide Awake 1858.

The readers Of this wonderful mag.
azine for young people are SO accus-
toned to good reading and pictures
that they will wonder how it is going
to be better than ever this coming
year. But it is.
The new year has already begun
with the holiday number just out--a
truly great number, larger. and richer,
more varied, and therefore it must be
better than ever before. And the
publishers have primer to send to
those who want to know what Vide
Aaoake is going to have in it in 1888.
The wonder is that such literary
and picture-gallery can be got together

drawn from to make such provision for
the education and pleasure of our
children.
So high is the best of young peoples
literature nowadays that we are all of
us glad to be young Nine.tenths of
reading people prefer it to what is writ

of being easy as we'll as good.

The Improvement of our Roads.

Communicated.
In the Cultiuator and Country Gen.
tlemsan for Jan 5th is letter with this
heading from Essex Co., N. j., that is
Just in the line of discussion now going
on here on this subject. The whole
letter is worthy OF being re.published
as containing many good points. One
is that small pieces of road be put in
complete order each year, rather than
to expend all the funds thinly over the
district with no permanent good. The
road districts it seems, also have the
power to say what sums shall be ex-
pended, and what roads macadamized
in that district, "by vote Of three
quarters of the voters voting at said
election and he adds that the voting
on this question should be confined to
those who pay road tax, to prevent
abuse. He speaks of one district where
much macadamizing has been done with
stone bought by the pound and carted
FIVE miles, principally through the
efforts of two residents, who have con-
tributed part of the expense. A few
years more will give them permanent
roads in the whole district. Now for the
contrast in an adjoining district, where
alarger sum in proportion to the length
of roads. is all frittered away in tenn
porary patching at exorbitant wages.
The districts with roads once thor
oughly piked, can then reduce their
road tax by one halfor two thirds
The wear ON such roads is less, and
they do not suffer by frost and water as
do ordinary soft roads, that wheels cut
into and rains carry away. Another
point is that farm on such road will
bring more when sold, than without it,
or on poor highway to market.
In regard to draining he says, II
have often thought that undertaking
is not used to the extent it might profit
ably be in making roads, not only in
springy land but in heavy land with
compact subsoil, when in the spring of
the year and during spells of wet wealth
er when evaporation is slow, the soil re
quires long time to dry out, the reads
in the meantime wearing into ruts and
holes. The drains would keep the soil
aboye them dry enough to quickly ao
sorb the rains and melting snow

This is lust the case with many Of

This is just the case with many of
our roads here, where the most careful
grading and rounding up at great ex-
pense every year, is entirely obliterated
by few weeks travel in wet weather
! and especially when the frost is coming
out. Keep the read dry, and there will
be less frost to come out, and ifthe SUBJ
soil is dry, the stone surface will not sink
down and be lost in it. I heard farm.
er that should know, assert it as his
opinion, that the stone that have been
applied during the last 40 years have
sunk to depth of seven feet on piece
of road traversed by the "paper milf'
team, and it is no better for them now.
Ny father stuck fast with his team in
quicksand near Jas. d. Headley's pres
ent residence, when he first moved to
Maryland, more than As years ago. and
the same quicksand is there get, liable
to break out at any time in the winter
and swamp others. and all the labor ex.
pended in these years just sinks into
the mud.

soon had my thanksgiving sermon
ready, and lay in wait for my audi
ence. The good cheer had helped to
exercise the demon of discomfort, the
family had gathered to listen to the
older ones talk when I said, "Jerry, l
have turkey bone to pick with you.
Somebody ought to come along with q
good hickory and give you sound
drubbing.' "What's the matter now?''
said he. "What have been doing?''
"Well, here are the figures, You came

poor and in poor health. You had one

You had about four hundred dollars in
money. Fortunately you left no debts

pretty figure of twelve thousand dollars!

roundings will permit. Now, Jerry, if
l hear you grumble any more, Il am to
be the somebody that will apply the
hickory. Do you hear, what l have to
say?"
After few banterings from Jerry,
to the effect that in spite Ofhis lame
back, if 1 would come out doors he
would lay me on my back, he went out
with me to take another look at bis
farm, and, indeed, there was suspic-
ious moisture in his eyes, and the stoop
in his shoulders was not near so curved,
while his back Strengthened up like a
soldier on guard. Aud there was the
appearance Of even more than bashful
pride in the situation as it was. To
clinch the argument | said, "Jerry,
