Ainother Dreadful Disaster. The long chapter of disasters still lengthens, each day adting fresh hor rors to the dreadful summary of loss in life and property, by fire, flood. railroad accidents, explosions, &c. The following is the latest, of which we make a synopsis from the daily papers: On the night of the 26th one of the most fearful rain storms ever known, visited Alleghany City, Pennsylvania, and the devastation effected was wide spread and shocking. The rain com mened to fall about eight o'clock, just.when the church bells had ceased their. tolling and when worshippers .were.engaged in religious exercises, singing hymns of praise to God. It seemind as if the gates of heaven had ope*ed wide and allowed the deluge free scope, for never before has any one. in this neighborhood witnessed such --an incessant an,. so heavy a rainfall. Accurate n 3asurement of the rains yesterday s*,ows a fall of within one-twentieth of five and one: half inches-more than twice as much as has ever been known to fall in the same space. The thunder and light ning were terrific, and the death cry of scores of 'victims rose upon the air from a dozen submerged localities. It was not until the break of day that e full horrors of the flood were nown. When the rain commenced falling but little apprehension was en tertained; but those who live near the head of the valley state that suddenly iteemed as if the heavens were lit oraiy pened, and watei came down in,great volumes, which Soon filled the Iwlands to overflowing. Rapidly the "streams filled and houses were - sucked off their fonndt.tions like so Many jackstraws and hurled agaiust eaeh other, their occupants bemn t-ashed or drowned in their efforts to escape. The loss of life is appalling ad the sVeae is almost indescribable, and --hen the houses began to float. -.then it was that the air 'was rent with wil, distressing cries of mothers and, children and tender babes. At short te4vais '; fash of lightning would reveal ghastly, -terror-stricken faces thrust from the windows of floating houses, and presently, when the water' began to rise higher and higher, and huildiugs began to crumble and fail to pieces, struggling forms of men, wonien and children' could be seen in the water battling for life. Then, af ter an interval of da:-k s, the liIht ning would again reveal the place, but they had disappeared beneath a heavy 2s o f"onting-timbers. Never for ar-intant did the wild, despairing ries cease. No sooner would the sereamis of one despairing mortal eensewii death than another would burkt forth, and so duiring the long ~ours-of the- night- they could hear bhem scream, and witness their dy~ ing struggles withoiut power to help. At times they could see through the ,windows of a fioating house, where a light still burned. mnothers kneeling with young children in their arms. presently the house would topple anid fall. with .a crash, but not too loud to drown th-e piercing shrieks of the poor wretches within. The work of recovering bodies comm ienced at day -light sad.condauxed all- day long, and even now raen with lanteras are search ing the debris for some one known to be missing. The bodies recovered are for the inst part disfigured, showing nhat the 'current of waters was very ~'olent. The Cotton Crop.

Mqil's anfd founid a crops of these gentlemen, both corn .d cotton, to compare f-vorably with y seen this year. At last we arrived , our place of destination, the Barbe e at Smyrna School House.

If we h:0 anything to write we would not mind it, but then "items" are.so scarce now. Everything is quiet in the city, almost as nmuch so as in the -ountry. The cry of the truck garden vender is heard throughout the entire ity, trom morning till night. The cry rf "great big hard-head cabbage, hard as my head." has become alnost a nuisance. Then the heef eart tmn does not forget to sound his notes. And such bcef as lie does h:ve sometiues. An :ill.pitor could sc:treelv masticate it. I h:ul thought that all the cattle Noah hal with hin were either killed or dead, but it does seem that there were a few left over for this season. We hope by next that, they will all he disposed of. Then the ice er:'0n1 mil does not forget to make known his wheel-barrow load, for that is generAlly the way they loctnliote it thronugh the str.'ts. Then the chickens, oh, tle chickeuis. What 1iust we say for their venders. Well, they :1re a set of elever cle:ts. They feed the poor- little chickens :ll the gr:ain their little Craws will hold, then h:twk them around town. selling them for "li frying chickens." But this is an age of cheats. The golden age has gone, the silver age has gone. and I iuess we h:il better stop and call this the pewter age and let it go too. This month has been romiarkably seasonable here. It has rained often, :nd the atmosphere for the most part has been cool. Vegetables and fraits aTe abundant. It is astonishing how cheap wattermelons are sold. We must close, but before we say adieu, let us tell you about some little pests we have here in great abundance. Thev are coinmonly called "skeeters." Well these "skeeters," we mnst s:ay, have one of the nuost saredstie sounding little bugles we h:av ever heard. It announces their:Iyproach, and is a har binger to prel:re for action. Just ima ,ine yourself dropping off into a sweet little doze, and one of these little fel lows soun(ing Uis bugle,. then you slap, Iliss him and take yourself broadside On - the head. It is teribLe to think about. We have seen none as large. as "they say" they get in Mississipp1i. A traveler said lhe once saw some large enfough to crawl upi a tree and "-barI.." I guess it was the bark on the tree. Neither have we seen any "'skeeters" with lamps lit and looking for us. An Irishman once deel:tred that after he had1( shut thiem out wvith a ntet, that they went off and got lanterns, came back and were hunting for holes to get through at him. lHe never told us whether they succeeded ot not.
