little item Of news from Johnstown:
"rhey are all gone" cried poor Mrs. Fem.
MY husband and my seven little children
have gone down with the food, and am left
alone. We were driven into the garret. but
water followed us there. II kept rising until
our heads We're crushed against the roof. It
was death to remain. SO raised window
and, one by one, placed my darlngs on some
driftwood, trusting to the great Creator AS
! liberated the last one, my sweet little boy,
he looked at me and said: Mamma, you
always told me that the Lord would care for
me; will lie look after me nowf' ! saw him
drift away with his loving face turned to-
ward me,ond with prayer on my lips for his
deliverance, he passed from sight forever"

It is now reported that the republican
members Of the West Virginia Legislature
have entered into On agreement, after
thorough canvass of the political situation,
to refuse to obey q call by Gov. Wilson for
an extra session Of that body, on the
ground that he is not the lawful governor
Of the state, and is therefore without au-
thority TO issue such call. S The detsrmi-
nation has reached the ears Of the demo-
Gratis, and has kicked up an immense hub
bub. While the democrats have one ma
jority in the house. they are two minority
in the senate, and they are busy tonight
opposition. It is likely, that should tho
republicans fail to respond, the sergeant
at-arms will bo sent to arrest them at their
