In Washington county, and the friends of
the cause claim that it will end the traffic
in the county.
Without any display of that excite
ment and boisterous sensation which too
often has won for the party elsewhere the
unjust title of lanatics the Prohibitionists
o' tliis town and county have conducted
a campaign which has aroused the live

A COLORED PROHIBITION CLUB.
In our town a colored prohibition club
Was organized a few days ago with seven
teen members, who, by unremitting
labor, have increased their number to
over fifty.
This is general throughout tbe country,
a large number of the more Intelligent
negroes buve espoused the cause and
Bre faithfully working lor It*success.
Ol the nineteen militia districts in the
county the most cautious Prohibitionist
only concede seven (in which an Ignorant
colored vote largely predominates) to the
whisky men, and tbe majority against the
•ale is variously estimated from 175 to 460.
Under our registration law a man can
only register and vote in the district in
which he resides. This will make the
election very quiet and perhaps delay the
Information as to tbe result until Tburs
dav, as It is hardly probable that au-
Mientic information can be hud irom all
points earlier. Tbe white vote stands
about live to one for prohibition, the cause
numbering among Ita advocates and sup
porters several gentlemen who are now
engaged in the barroom business, and ves

employed at a bar here bud nneuly pro

100 men. and will be accompanied by their

HIGH WATER AT MONTREAL.
A Sudden Rise and th* Greater Part of
tliw BiiNineH* District Overflowed.
Montreal. April 19.—About 12 o’clock
I Saturday night the river again rose sud
denly and continued rising. The gredter
: part ot the butt ness district was under
water. The whole west end below St.
Antoine was also flooded. The walls of
Molson’s rolling mill have given way.
Victoria square and parts of Craig and
•Juror streets, together with intersecting
j >-treats, are under water. The whole
country on the south shore as far as the
St. John’s is flooded and all communica
tion is stopped.
LEFT IN DARKNKBS.
The flooded district is mostly in dark
ness, the water having entered the gas
Pipes and tbe electric light, works being
fllooued. Tbs ice holds firm from Hocbe
laga to B'Ulcberville. The English
newspaper olHces are flooded and the
papers will have to publish at the French
otlices. At a late hour a correspondent
visited paMs ol the flooded districts. In
order to vet to the western portion of the
city he hail to make a long detour, all the
low lying streets being covered by water.
In some places the water rose so rapidly
that people bad no time to prepare lor it
and had to take refuge in tee upper
stories, where many were without tire
and fuel and as yet with no prospect of
relief in the shape of provisions.
SIX FEET DEEP IN THE STREETS.
In some streets tbe water is six feet
deep. Merchants say the losses will
amount to millions of dollars. This is
the worst flood that ever visited Mon
treal.

i’oint St. GUarles the water conies up to
the steps at the main entrance.

attic oi the buildings, and tee blockade of
ice makes access to them impossible.
The island is a resting place lor ihe nuns.
It. is situated in a most romantic spot.
The city of Montreal offered a very large
sum for it,, wishing to purchase K for a

from the King of France when Canada
was a French colony.
ABATING VERY SLOWLY.
Montreal, April ‘2O, 2 a. m.—The flood
appears fo be abating but very slowly.
The village ot La I’rarie is apparently

have water all around them. The
river front at St. Lambert cannot be
seen for ice, which is piled up
to the very doors of the houses lacing the
river, from the very foot of the rapids
down to Hoehelaga, the river seems to be
over its bounds. All of Point St. Charles
appears to be under water, and every
street in the lower part of the city is a
canal. The river is clear of ice from a
short distance above Victoria bridge west
to tbe rapids, but from the bridge east
until tbe river is lost sight of some miles
down there is a complete block of ice.

The wonder of those who go to the Har
nett House, in Savannah, is that so excel
lent a table and such comfortable rooms
can tie offered to the public at such mini

tbe Screven House, and the rates just
one-half as largo. Courteous treatment
makes up the sum of its attractions.

ciation.—Jacksonville ( Fla. ) Herald.

Advice to Mothers.
Mrs, Winslow’s Soothing Syrup should
always be used when children are cutting
teeth. It relieves the little sufferer at
once; it produces natural, quiet sleep by
relieving the child from pain, and the
little cherub awakes as “bright as a
button.” It is very pleasant to taste. It
soothes the child,' softens the gums, al
lays all pain, relieves wind, regulates the
bowels, and is the best known remedy for
diarrhoea, whether arising from teething
or other causes. 25 cents a bottle.
