The Great Flood Of July '78 Rivaled.
Thursday evening this vicinity
was visited by the most terrific
rain storm within the recollection
of the proverbial "oldest inhabi-
tant."
Rain began falling at o'clock p.
m. and continued for more than an
hour, when a cessation of a few
minutes occurred.
The second rainfall began short
ly before 6 o'clock and far more
than two hours it came down in
torrents converting the street gut
ters into angry rivers that swept
foot bridges away like so many
straws.
The small creek running through
the eastern part of town broke all
bounds and flooded the whole east
end, filling cellars and causing the
occupants in the lower portions to
remove or take refuge in the upper
story of their houses.
During this time the river was
raising with the remarkable rapid
ity of twenty-eight inches per hour
flooding the low lands and sweep
ing everything before 1t.
Fences and crops are completely
destroyed along the small streams
and general destruction prevails
throughout the lower lands.
1t is estimated that the loss of
crops and other property of the
farmers will exceed $5O0,000.
No such destructive flood was
ever known to result from rain
fall of such short duration.
NOTES.
The iron bridge near Geo. Eise's
place together with it's stone abut-
ments washed away.
The iron bridge near Martin
Hartman's is washed from the
abutments.
The iron bridge across Clearfork
near John Balls place is gone.
A combination bridge near GOe.
Nihizer's is washed down the creek
II considerable distance.
Reports of other bridges Destroy
ed are numerous.
The r. r.. track of the Straits
vile Branch is washed out on Old
Town creek near Jas. Halls.
A low trestle near Wright's sid
ing on the main line washed out,
and Il passing freight train ran in
to it leaving the debris of twelve
loaded coal cars i'm the space. One
brakeman was seriously injured.
Every farmer along the valley
loose crops of grass, corn and other
grain.
Mr.. Riff lost COW, calf and sew
eral head of hogs.
Tom Kintz will lose over 100000
brick.
Homer l.. Wright lost about 90
acres of timothy hay and all his
wheat.
The rink was utilized as q place
for storing goods of those compel
led to move.
I. Voris' garden was completely
destroyed.
il. Gompf will sustain consider
able loss.
From the number of iron bridges
washed away it would not be bad
idea for the Commissioners to see
that they are anchored.
1t is reported that nine year
old son OF John Perkins of Union
Furnace fell from foot log during
the high water on Fri day and was
drowned.

OeNbhS bOWu 10 WORK. The gentle
men who have interested themselves ia the or
ganizalion ofa Permanent Exposition Associ-
alton in Maryland have gone to work in earn
est, and intend to make the exhibitions q
Msrylant's natural and industrial resources
and products at Pimlico, in September next,
equal, ifnot superior to any exhibition which
has ever taken place. Many Of the best men
in Maryland are taking an active interest and
are freely giving their time and money 10 the
enterprise, which will, undoubtedly. rebound 70
the best interests OF the State The President
Of the Association, Hon. Frank Brown, has
issued an address to the people in which he
urges all progressive citizens TO take an inter
es.. The Exposition will not be "shos,
but a great universal school to the farmer.
merchant and mechanic where the lesson sill
be object teaching. All varieties of live stock,
and all the productions Of the State, mineral,
agricultural, etc, will be shown. Competing
in brotherly rivalry side by side will be seen
the products of each county displaying to
their people and to the people Of many climss
all the vast and varied attractions, resources
and advantages Of our State. Systematic
representations will be made Of school appa
rstus and work The ETpositsn Of womep's
work will also be feature exciting earnest
consideration. In all that her hand can
DC, or her taste may influence, evidence will
be abundant. Our people should immediate
ly meet together and agree upon some plan BY
which the county can make an exhibit that
will reflect credit upon our people, for it's
believed that the thorough carrying out of
this great plan will render the collective dis
plsy Of the counties the most attractive fea-
ture of the Exposition, and will. moreover be
of lasting benefit to the counties individually
and to the State at large. Let a meeting be
called at once so that some action may be
taken in this great and progressive movement.

And separate paths must tread.

To that you were inclined to expect,
Aud fear you'll think me very unkind,
Your proHered love to reject.
'Tis sad to imagine your burning tears
Bat for your sins we might not part,
IT'S sad, too sad, that so manv years
You have wasted in search ofa congenial heart.
Why humbly kneel at womrn's feet2
/ Why make yourself woman's slave?
! Why despair ofife still so bright and so sweet?
Why welcome the summons to premature
grave?
Therell be mourning when you cease to live,
Sorrow and anguish in every breast,

But pray your soul ~ peace mag rest.

rs not by any means AS dear TO me as old

Baltimore is city that all ar,landrrs Al
ways speak Of with pride, and With good res.
son, she has made rapid progress in every
way. The Baltimore of to-day is not even the
Baltimore of last year; in her manufactures,
in her commercial trade; in her grain trade;
in fact, in everything, the city is coninua
advancing. Lately both Philadelphia and
New York, through their press, showed Their
chsgrin at the manner in which Baltimore
has been divertiug the corn export trade from
their ports; and indeed the treasury statistics
show that Baltimore has been m ,nopolzing
the increase in that trade arising from the en-.
ceptionally large crop, and that she has treb
led or quadrupled the trade of last year.
Probably the question uppermost in The
minds of all at present is the distribution of
the Federal offices in this city. While few
