A FURIOUS FLOOD.

Destruction in the Little KanawHa valley
Lives Lost at Norristown, WA
PARKERsBURG, w. Va, July 20-Fhe
great est disaster which has ever befallen
the little Kanawha valley came Thursday
night in the shape of terrible cloudburst
which completely flooded the country, de-
stroying many lives, carrying off thou
sands of dollars in property and running
crops for miles.
The deluge fell here about dusk and con-
tinued to fall in torrents, doing much
damage in the city. The worst OF the
storm struck the lower side of the Kan
awha, filing the small tributaries from
bank to bank and ending in the worst
flood in the recollection of the oldest in
habitauts. In three hours the Kanawha
rose six feet and ran out with such Veloc-
itv that it carried every thing before 1t.
At this point thousands of logs and
number of boats went out or were sunk,
and Mrs Isaac Tucker, Martin Lawless
aud an unknown man were drowned
Above the destruction was still greater

and left i'll corn fields.
In Clay the fine church and three dwell
ings were wrecked. Several steamers on

centrated, coming down about midnight

Whether Joe suspected the opinions, eE-
pressed and unexpressed, Of his various
neiphbors, certain it was that he took much
comfort in little Anna, and certain 1t is, too,
that the child dearly loved Joe, or Dad, as
she called him. With Burdett nothing was
too good for the child, not even his locomo-
motive. On fine days he frequently took
the little girl into his cab, showing her
every detail of the workings OF his iron
steed and explaining the t0hy and the 9rheFe-
