Business men who were; about to close up their stores and loit erers were caught, and held prisoners until their suppers grew cold. The rain was accompanied by the most viv id lightening and terrible peals of thun der, but little or no wind. We had no way of measuring the rain fall, hut it must have been several inches. The cloud gathered over the western part of the county, taking an easterly «nd turning to a southeasterly direction.— We have heard from it as far as Alex- der, every account agreeing tha' the damage to crops, roads ai bridges is great. The bridge over McIntosh creek on the road leading into town by Main street was washed away, and the d uns of CM, J J. Jones’ and Gordon’s Mills on that stream were broken, and evervihing carried before the flood.— The house of David Shoultz, colored, living on Mr. William Lawson’s Briar creek place, was struck by lightening, the current passed down the chimney to wilhin abot five feet of the floor where it burst through, instantly killing his daughter, a young woman about 18 years old, and terribly shocking every body in the house. It. was the heaviest rain whieh we have seen fall for years, and has caused the loss of thousauds ot dollars to our farmers. m a M to m M Im o &- s e n im > £ .

He was very belligerent, and se med ready to attack anybody who came in his path. In one in tance he went to a citizen’s hou«e, and when me wi b a six shooter, looked coolly and without winking at the dangerous little thing, and told the gentleman ‘ to shoot, be-jahers, its all yon can do.” Tn another instance he took a c'tizen of the county by the throat in his powerful grasp, and was about to stop his supply of free air, but was interfered with, and given his cho : oe—to tak<* the road or take the jail, end he chose the former. He left in the direction • f Millen, grumbling about the hard times. —8.

LETTER FROM THE NORTH. , Saratoga Springs, Aug. 25th, 1882.— When I left Waynesboro something over one month ago, I promised to let you hear from me ; but my time has been so absorbed with pleasure and business that I hi*vo neglected to do s# until the present date, though frequently mindful of my promise, which, whep mad**, I always try to fulfill, sooner or later. But I am fearful that what I may say will not be of the an me interest to you as the IqchI news from ln mc is to me. I will not occupy your time further with apologies, but will proceed to chronicle a few thoughts. Saratoga feels more like home to me than any place I have ever so journed. It is strictly a place of ease and comfort. You can dres«, ride, walk and sit as your comfort sug gests, and not be con-idered unfash ionable. There is one occasion when you are expected to dress according to fashion, and that is at the “hops.” Then you are expected to have on your swallow-tail coat. Visitors are allowed all the latitude they could desire, being permitted to do almost as they please; still with all that Saratoga is one of the most orderly places 1 have ever seen, not because the police make it so, for you seldom see one, but it appears the residents A CARD are temperate and well behaved, and the itiu'-rants, who avrage from eight, to ten thousand, are the most law-abiding class the country affords, and are strictly seek»ra of health. Instead of partaking of intoxicating drinks, they substitute mineral water, hecce, you never see a man under the influence of whisky. The principal amusements are the races, which always attract a crowd of all classes and sexes ; still, one opposed to such immoral influ ences can while away the hours by visiting a beautiful park, one made so by nature, where music i* dis coursed evt-rv day by a sp\*ndi<l band, ride out to Saratoga Lake and take a delightful *ai*, traverse the grout ds Judge Hilton bus made beautiful, or visit other places of in terest. I am sorry the time is drawing to a c'osc for me take my departure. I expect to leave here about Sept. 1st, go to Adams a few days, then Niagara Falls, Montreal, and reach lNew York about Sept. 10th, when I will com plete my fall purchas* s, will then turn my oyi»8 homeward, and expect to arrive at old Waynesbor*', in better health, about September 20th. I am thankful to know that the corn crop of old Burke is good. We can with proper management soon be on the road again to prosperity, if the farmers will only profit by the past and make preparations for the future. It would be well fur those that have an abundance of corn to sow down small grain. I oould make many suggestions on this line if I thought it would do aoy good, but I fear I have trespassed already on your timo and space, so will bid you adieu. S. A. Gray.
