CORRESPONDENCE.

!
 Between seven and eight o'clock on Wednesday morning of last week g portion of the lower wall of Buck s reservoir dam, sit uated in the north part of the town, fell with loud report resembling thunder. As soon as discovered the gate was raised and work commenced near one end of the dam, mak- ing an opening to draw off the water. AL though the water was drawn so rapidly as to flood the lowland below, yet for long time the water in the pond remained about the same, owing to the great amount run ming in on all sides, caused by the heavy rains. But the narrow portion of earth work remaining held the water back until it was drawn so low that there was no dan- ger, and the only damage, aside from that to the dam, was the flooding of the mead ows below, causing much injury to stand ing grass.
 The Empire and Bay States Telegraph Go. are putting two more wires upon their line, which runs through the north part oi the town. K
 Potatoes have commenced rotting all about, and it is feared that the. crop will be 8 failure.

ROCKVELLE.

! The business men of Rockville were surprised late Saturday afternoon by the report that Fred H. Scharf, manufacturers and dealer in carriages and wagons, was badly involved financially, and that he had left town for parts unknown. No one had any idea of the extent to which he was in- volved. It is estimated that his liabilities are SIC, ,OO0 to $15, ,OOO, and his creditors talk strongly of fraud. It appears that he has bought many large lots of carriages from various firms during the past year and had given notes in payment, and for some months has sold them, in many cases, for less than cost. He has borrowed money of many persons in sums of $10O to $500, and quite number of business men are on his notes for various amounts, and many merchants are heavy losers. It is reported that he has gone to Canada and that he has large amount of money with him, estimated at $500O to $1O,O There is only small amount of stock on hand. Rumors are current that developments of more criminal nature may be expected. He was a prominent business man and at ! tended closely to his work, and has had the confidence and respect of merchants. He was a member of the Methodist church and of number of societies in town. It was supposed that he had been doing re- numerative business.

 -Insthe death column is notice of the death of Marcia Hammond. She was a siatef of Prof. Charles Hammond of Mon- s E She went to Port Angeles some two years ago. The Commonwealth of that place said of her: "She was noble wo- man, but like all reformers was misunder- stood by most all with whom she came in contact. She was member of. the Puget Sound Cooperation Colony located here. She was an ardent lover of Henry George, and worked in season and out for spread ing 2 knowledge of his doctrine. She willed all her property to be used to carry on the agitation of his doctrine. She had many friends here and was generally re- spected. Her funeral was the most large ly attended of any ever held here. It was a peculiar fact that although Catholic she requested that the Congregational minister should oficiate at her funeral, and all her requests were earned out"
