PRATTVILLE.

Prattville, March H.-(Special.)- the streams were higher than they have been for several years the damage from high water in these parts has been very small. The greatest damage so far heard from is to the roads, which are badly washed away in some places.
 Easter was observed at all the churches yesterday except the Episcopal church Large congregations attended them all The Juvenile Missionary Society at the Methodist church held forth yesterday evening in that church. and they had the largest audience that has gathered in that building in long time. The Juvenile Missionary Society is in a prosperous condition, and the exercises last night showed great development on the line of thought for missions.
 On Saturday night eight miles from here, on the Alabama river, Johnson, a negro, shot and killed Sonny Cain. an other negro, in a difficulty growing out of a dispute at dance. Only one shot was fired. and that killed the negro in- stantly On account of the high water in the river it was thought that if the sher- if should go down into that country yes terday he would likely catch Johnson but when Sheriff McWiliams arrived on the ground he ascertained that the negro had been put across the river the night before immediately after the shooting, and no trace of him could be found on this side.
