THAT a woman, in spite of the theory
to the contrary, can hold her tongue is
illustrated by the strange case of Mrs.
Merrifeld, who died few days ago at
Americus, Ga She had not spoken q
word for over thirty years. In 1860 her
husband snappishly told her to stop her
talk, and added that the sound of her
voice was hateful to him. She answered
that he should never hear it again, and
he never did. The woman kept he
word. Neither he nor any one else eve
heard her speak from that moment
She went along in the usual perform
ance of her duties, but no one ever
dhear a word fall from her lips.

ROCKFORD, ILL.,, June l4.-At least
half million dollars worth of property
was destroyed in this city and vicinity
last night. Never since 1857, when the
waters rose and overwhelmed nearly all
Rockford, has such disastrous flood
visited this section as that Of last even
ing. For three hours the rain fell in
torrents, vivid lightning played, and
following each flash came terrific peals
Of thunder. The storm commenced
about $50 o'clock, and in surprising
space of time every street was turbu-
lent river. The creeks swelled, and in
. moment devastating floods were
sweeping through Kent and Keith
creek valleys. Each creek drains an
immense area of territory and from
every side came contributions to the
waters until the creeks had become de-
structive torrents. Families were driv-
en- from their homes. The property de-
stroyed will amount to at least $500, 900.

A NEW STEAMER.

The Alpha Being Built for the savan.
nah and Beaufort Trade.
The steamer Katie arrived yesterday
morning with the hull of the new steamer
Alpha in tow. The Alpha was built at
Matthews Bluff for John Lawton. The
hull was launched Saturday morning at
Matthews Bluff in the presence of large
number of people from Georgia and South
Carolina.
The Alpha is being built by John Wester-
mann under the personal supervision of Mr..
Lawton, her owner. Her hull is Of iron.
She is 100 feet long, 90 feet beam and 6 feet
depth of hold and of 100 tons measurement.
She has two bulkheads, one forward and
the other aft. She will be fitted with suit
able passenger accommodations, and will
have a capacity of about 400 bales of cotton.
A feature about the vessel is that the
boilers will be set forward in the hold.
The boilers and condenser have been built
in Charleston, S. c., where the vessel will
be towed to-day to receive them. The en-
gines will consist of two 16-inch cylinders.
with five feet stroke. The vessel is expected
to have speed of about fifteen miles an
hour. The engines are being built by John
Rourke
The Alpha is as pretty modelled boat as
has ever been built in this section. She
will be placed on the route between this
port, Port Royal, Beaufort, Bluffton, Hill
ton Head and other landings, and as she
viii be of quite light draught she will be a
very useful boat in that trade. She will be
propelled by side wheels. Capt Harry
Strobhar will probably command her.
