Special to the Gazette.
RHoME, TEX, April 25.-Continued
heavy rains throughout the whole OF this
week make this country almost atioat.
Travel is entirely suspended and every
body sitting still and waiting. while It
keeps on raining. AS the clouds ABOVE
US are relieving themselves of their bur-
! dens of water, others can be seen push
| ing their way up to do likewise, Whiie
still farther in the distance others OF
more ponderous size are to be seen load
ing and making up for the trip; so there
seems TO be no prospect OF 'Iet-up
till we are completely flooded.
Work on our roller flour mill Is at
| standstill; also, on the arteslan well
being sunk on the same lot.
