Echoes from the Flood.

The Highland Recorder says, that Mr.
J. G. Fulton of Staunton, accompanied by
his wife, made a recent trip to Pocahontas
county, in the interest of Hart & Heller,
Baltimore, the house he represents. They
got caught in the high waters and had quite
an adventure. While crossing the creek at
Dunmore, W. Va. they got into a wash
out, where the ford had formerly been, but
discovered it before they had entered too
far to prevent his wife jumping to the bank
from the rear of the buggy. MI. Fulton
was compelled to go through, the horses
swimming and buggy floating until they
reached the opposite shore0
= In Bath county the loss is estimated at

risonburg road, which had stood for twenty
six years, was swept away. The Cowpas-
ture bridge on the Warm Springs turnpike

there being no money i'll the County Treas
ury at present, have issued an appeal to the
people to help the contractors in fixing up
the roads in their districts.
Allegheny suffered severely and lost the
fine county bridge across Jackson River at
Covington.
Around Goshen, Roclzbridge, there was
much loss. Mrs. Eliza Roadcap S house
was undermined and broken in two. Vic
toria Furnace was surrounded by water but
no damage done. In the village OF Goshen
there were between 35 and 40 persons who
had to leave their houses and 90 to the
church on the hill for safety, and it being
midnight and pouring down rain they had
atime of it getting out.
In the other end of Rockbridge, Harry
Locher's cement works at Balcony Fails
were washed out. He will now leave there
and rebuild the works at Lynchburg.
In Highland, the Recorder is informed
that the height Of the water exceeded that
of 1861, and it will cost the county thou.
sands Of dollars to repair the roads The
bridge at Grab Run between Monterey and
Mcdowell, and that across Bullpasture
river at Mcdowell were washed away. The
CoWpastTe was twenty feet above low
water mark.
The iron railroad bridge at Halper's
Ferry stood the severest test that could
well be applied to it. The Shepherdstowl
bridge was washed off and swept right
down on it. The iron bridge was unharm-
ed while the other was Splintered

get better business footing for any enter
prise than is given by the above list, and
the fact is endorsed by the additional sub
scriptions since the organization. The cap
ital is 5000, but the company would be
glad to have more subscriptions larger

and more hands employed,

A Business Mans Opinion Practically
Exnressnd

In letter to Mr.. Guy Cochran of this
city, Mr. David B. Taylor of Baltimore, of
the firm of David B. TAYLOR & Co., stove
and tinware manufacturers and dealers,
says:
I see through the columns of the VINDICAToR,
that the shoe factory which is much needed in
your city findsit hard to make up the capital, and
feeling great interest in its success to build up
your city, if my subscription of 500 will be of
any help, please place my name among the list
and when wanted draft on me for same. Staun-
ton can only be built up by such manufacturing
industries, and hope the citizens will urge all such
enterprises, as love the dear place and its people
and only regret that cannot send thousands in
stead of hundreds for its success.
MI. Taylor has always been ready to help
every enterprise of taunton-whether
charitable, patriotic Oh business in it's char
acter, and always in advance of any solicit
tation, thus making his aid doubly accept
able. In this last case as in the others he
has set an example which we would gladly
see all of our business men follow.
