ne rainstorm of Monday and Tuesday
which visited this section, was one of the
severest that has occurred here for years.
Rain came down in torrents. It is said
that Lake Miccosukie has overfowed. At
any rate the country below Drifton for
several miles is under water. The rail-
road track was inundated for consider
able distance, and one trestle washed out.
In consequence the passenger trains on
tuesday were delayed seven hours. The
westbound train which had the demo-
cratic speakers and the delegates to the
First congressional district convention on
board, did not reach here until $50 p. M
On Wednesday the damage had been re-
paired INA great measure and the trains
were only delayed few hours.
From the coast come the reports that
the weather was still severer People
coming up from St. Marks had in some
places to swim their horses.

A WeM-MerIted Compliment.

The court house was filled with the best
people Of the city, when Major Russell, &C.
companed by Professor D. L. Ellis, and
ED. Beggs, Esq, entered the hall. Pro
fessor Ellis after calling upon Rev. Mr..
Stephens for prayer, presented Mr.. Beggs,
who introduced the speaker in most
graceful and chaste speech.
Major Russell announced his subject,
"Our Civilization" and for one hour and
thirty minutes, he held his audience SPELL
bound with his wonderful eloquence To-
wards the close OF the address, the speaker
turned to the teachers present, and earn
eslly spoke 10 them upon their high calling
and urged them to be faithful TO duty and
to God. Major Russell then presented
Professor Ellis with a State Teachers
Certificate" as a recognition of his coming
to the state, and OF his high standing as
teacher, at the same time congratulating
the people upon having secured such a
worthy man to lake charge of the school
interests here. After the benediction by
Rev. Mr.. Dye, the large audience dispersed.
Very many competent persons said the
address of Major Russell was the most i'm
pressive and thoughtful effort they had
heard in years, and everybody went away

TO the Editor Of the FnoRIpIAN
Thinking some of the gossip that 10
floating around Teresa may be OF interest
to many who are unable to get away from
the "bustle and stir" of Tallahassee, we
send up few airy "nothings."
Sailing parties are all the vogue, and we,
older ladies, are kept busy chaperoning
the many young people who start out on
pleasure bent" Thursday evening OF
last week the Maud N. carried out .
merry crowd, among whom were Misses
Ida Meginniss, Maud Myers, Susie Cam
eron, Evelyn Winthrop, Bessie Gallie and
Messrs spiller, Dawklns, Bali, Perkins
and Rawls. They were chaperoned by
Miss Eva Cameron, who has won the hearts
of all by doing everything in her power
towards the enjoyment of those who are
seeking health and pleasure at our seaside
resort.
A large party enjoyed q trip to Cara
belle on the staunch little steamer Walka-
tomica on Wednesday, and singing and
dancing made the time pass rapidly. MIR.
Coombs showed US through his large mills,
which was quite treat to all.
Our fishermen have been very success
full, and as early as sunrise their boats can
be seen on the gulf sailing in every dir c.
ton; and at night the waters are dotted
here and there with bright lights from the
torches of those who wage war on the
founder. Among the lucky fishermen
may be mentioned Messrs. L. and w. and
Master Gilman Winthrop, who on We'd
nesday captured blue fish weighing eighty
pounds.
Woe be to him who, taking advantage
of the moonlight to stroll down to the
wharf, forgets the old maxim, "Two's
company" for he will be remembered OF
it more than once. This state of affairs
however, does not prevent one and all
from joining in the choruses of "Dixie,
"Sailing" and Old Folks at Home" dear
to every music loving soul.
As we write, from the dancing hall come
sweet peals of laughter mingled with the
melody of Strauss most beautiful waltzes
