As illustrating the force OF last weeks
flood in the mountain counties, and the
suddenness with which it came, the fol.
lowing instances from Mineral county
are given: Mr.. Robert Morehead, OF
Brantsburg, got up from the breakfast
table, aud looked out and saw small
stream going through the field above
his house. In less than 20 minutes he
had to take his family out on horse
back, and his entire farm was submerged.
The crop is a total loss, and the work OF
a whole summer was swept away in less
than an hour. Mr.. Thomas Ward, who
lives opposite the town, also sustained
considerable loss. What was the day
before fields Of growing corn, potatoes
and cabbage looks now like the back
yard OF a junk shop. All the fences
were carried away, and the water swept
past his front door as II it had been
flowing there for years.
