Mr.. r. III. Moore has received letter
from his brother a resident of Johns
town, containing the gratifying infor-
nation that none of the family were
lost in the flood. The father, mother
and domestic were in the home when
it was swept from its foundation, but
it was carried a short distance and
lodged on bank, where they could see
hundreds of houses swirling and crash

attic of their home from Friday until
when they were removed to a
factory building and there remained till

funds are badly disbursed, and that
this family had not at that time been a
of any of the donations.
