Moseley, who went from here as mis- sionary to Japan five years ago, we have received copy of the Yokohama Japan Daily Mail. 1t is printed on heavy eream-tinted book paper, and has four pages of seven wide columns each, eight cen of which are filled with advertise ments. Evidently newspapers come high in that remote land of the rice-eat- CT, as glance at the mast-head shows: :: Subscription $20 per year; postage extra and judging by the number of trade makers" in it's columns, the editor does not run the paper for fun.

 After several days of fair weather the situation with reference to the flood l is more encouraging, The waters are receding and many Of the submerged farms are now clear of overflow. The damage done to property in this county in the bottoms and uplands is well nigh Iincalcalable, but the most conservative estimates place the loss at not less than $l00,000 Crops in the river lands are SO badly damaged by standing water that re-planting is unavoidable, and the season being so far advanced that not more than half crop can be expected at best. In the upands the greatest dam lage has resulted from the loss of soil by excessive washing Indeed but few up land farms are exempt from loss on this account. We hear of much cotton not reached by overflow dying from the ef- fects of cool weather Corn and other crops look exceedingly unpromising, and upon the whole the outlook is far from Inspiring. That brighter pros pect may soon come is the universal wish.
