NOuNG WOLF DROWNED.-One
boat manned by Charles Corby and
Theodore Wolf after getting a half
dozen chairs in the boat started for
the shore, but before going half way
the one man, Wolf, suddenly fell back
ward out of the front end of the boat
and disappeared in the boiling mud
DIV water and he never reappeared,
thus sinking into eternity so swiftly
and surely that scarcely q dozen ofthe
many hundred saw him make the
fatal plunge. The unfortunate young
mans body was not recovered until
about 0 O'Clock Sunday evening. His
funeral took place on Tuesday after
noon from his parents residence on
Potomac street, and his remains we're
followed to their last resting place in
the cemetery here by large concourse
ofpeople. Hewas II years, 6 months
and IS days of age.
There were twenty-one dwellings
carried away between Williamsport
and dam No. 6, in value ranging from
$500 to 81 300 each. 1T is safe to say
that the direct damage done at this
point in the way of buildings, grain,
coal, plaster, fertilizers, salt, lumber,
chairs, machinery, &C., will reach
500, 1000; but to attempt to estimate
the direct loss would be quite impos-
sible at this time for with the canal
gone and the chair factory stopped,
business of all kinds must necessarily
be stagnated. The grain boat belong
ing to Mr.. Il. Ill. Derby, this place, is
lodged in the public road above Har-
per's Ferry. Mr.. VIM. Ii. Boards
lime boat was found below Harper's
Ferry, lying across the canal.
At least one hundred and fifty per-
sons were thrown upon the charity of
the public, nearly all of whom reside
at or near here and were employed as
laborers on the canal, at the warehouse
es and on the wharves, and were de-
pendent upon their daily wages for
subsistence. Their homes were wash
ed away, many barely escaping with
theirli and without food and cloth
ing. Several families encamped in
the fields adjacent to town until places
were found for them. The condition
of thes people was too deplorable for
our authorities and the citizens, and
they set about Immediately to afford
what relief was in their power. Pub
lie and congregational meetings were
held, collectors and solicitors appoint
ed, receiving and distributing COM
mittees named and an appeal to the
people of the county issued.
AN APPEAL FOR AID.
At special meeting of the Town
Council of Williamsport, Md, it was
ordered that, owing to the immense
destruction of property that the aid
be asked of a generous public to assist
US in relieving the distress that has
been occasioned by the flood in the
river and creek, some twenty-eight
or thirty families having lost their
homes, furniture and clothing; they
designated the burgess, J +. Kreps,
to receive any consignments of cloth
ing or food, and Casper Skunk, Esq,
teller of the Washington County Ma
tional Bank, to receive all cash that
may be rendered and appointed the
following executive committee, con-
sisting of the trustees of the towns I:
Revs. Griffith, AtVand, and Meese,
who shall appoint soliciting and distri-
buting committees. JAS. f. KREPs,

great admirer of Campbell had 4
pretty servant girl. A young man
was visiting her who 'yasin every way
what he should be except that he was
very ardent Republican. The gem
tleman of the house tried very hard
to get him to vote for Campbell, but
nothing would induce him to go back
on Foraker. Finally the pretty SER
want girl was induced to take hold OF
the missionary work. The young
man was much in love with her and
had been long begging for kiss.
''I'll tell you what" she said to
him one night, ''if you will vote for
Campbell, IN give you five kisses"
He looked at her for a moment.-
Her rosy cheeks and red lips looked
tempting, and her eyes burnt into his
heart.
''Done,' he said. I'll agree"
He got his five kisses-perhaps
more than five-and voted the Demo-
cratic ticket.
That man loves you" the gem
tleman of the house said to the girl
afterward. "If he asks you to marry
him you should do it. He'll make
you n good husband. You should
marry him"
The girl blushed. 81 think 1 will,

purchases. AS she was about to enter she
heard cry of distress, and looking up saw q
half grown ruflian trying to take small hand
satchel from a neatly clad and quite9 small
child. Mary ran to The child's assistance and
succeeded driving the wonld-be robber away.
She then asked the little fellow who he was,
and what he was guarding so carefully.
He told her he was Willie Green, and that
his mother had no coal, so she had made some
fancy articles and he was out trying to sell
them, when the boy tried TO rob me-
The child added, "We have bread yet. and
Mamma says we are not poor, for the Lord Is
with us"
As1he child spoke the last words Anna raised
him in her arms, her pent up feelings giving
ventin tears. Come, Willie, she said, "take
me to your home; your mother was once my
dearest friend, aud shall be again"
Mary met her with smile and kindly
greeting, thanked her for protecting her boy
aud bringing him home to her.
Anna begged Mary to forgive her for her
neglect, and told her that hereafter she intend-
ed to consider her as her adopted sister.
Anna saw that coal aud everything necessary
was provided for Mary ut once, aud when Mary

An Unceremonious Caller.

At Harvard Rev. DIR. Phillips
Brooks noticed three young men who
came to hear him regularly, and as
they looked like working men, he was
more interested than usual. He took
pains TO find out who they were, and
made an opportunity to speak with
them. Having ascertaincd where
they lived and what they did, went
one day to call on them. He climbed
several flights of stairs and knocked
at the door. All three of the young
men were in, and they were taking
their comfort in their shirt sleeves.
Naturally they were trife embar-
rassed at being surprised by this man,
to whom they looked upwith so much
respect. DIR. Brooks shook hands all
around, and then said, with his cheer
ful smile, .'Well, boys, it's little
warm here; 1 think, if you will let
me, will take off my coat, and he
did, and sat down and made his call
/ in his shirt sleeves.

A hope well nlumiug my day time,
A love keeping watch while sleep.
So blessed, yet SO tired aud so weary!

The toiling and spinning of lilies,
The grasshopper burdens without.
So blessed yet so hardened to blessings!
So troubled aud anxious and tired.
So grieved at the griefs that have hurt me,

A bird tired out with its flying,
Yet longing for higher up sky;
a child wearied ont with its crying,
Would yet so to its Father and cry.

Thou knowest my sins great aud small,

Butperhaps up in glory. It's lighter,
Oh, straighten it, Father, again!

That darkness shows heaven above,
That the soul that is full loatheth honey
The hungry soul bitterness loves.

Though clouds hide my heaven and Thee,

I left a slice Of lemon on the counter,

not far off. and directly I noticed the
ants carrying the sugar TO the lemon

as well as cute, and to test the matter
have tried 1t several times by putting
a piece of lemon on the counter, and
placing some sugar near by, and the
ants never fail to carry the sugar to
the lemon. What do you think Of
that now? It is an absolute fact i"-5
