TaiiiH f«»r the p.tai. two days and tho largo
quantities of snow on timbered bills have
conspired to produce the most violent flood
known in many years. All driftwood and
millions of lops L&vo broken from their
fastenings and are going down the swollen
river at a terriffc rate. It is said that the
loss to lumbermen will appprooch $300,000.
At this place there is over two feet of
water in many of tho streets. All tele
graphic communication to the cast is lost,
and trains on the Philadelphia and Erie
railroad are obliged to flag their way, end
reports from Cameron state that the greater
part of that town is under water and the
residents are in great fear lest their houses
be swept away. Many residences had to be
vacated. A million feet of logs were torn
loose and swept down Hunt's Hun. Saw
mills and dams at various points along the
creek are much exposed and are in immi
nent danger of being carried away.
The water is well up in Driftwood, where
considerable damage is done. Last night
was one of great anxiety and excitement all
through the valley.
Lockiianen, Tentl, January 5.—The
flood in the Susquehanna river at this point
is within two feet of being as high as it was
in 1805. The greater part of the city is
flooded, hut the damage cannot yet be es
timated. Large quantities of saw logs have
broken loose in the creeks above and are
passing here, as booms cannot be hung.
The Pennsylvania canal is reported to be
badly damaged. The water is still rising.
Elmira, N. Y., January 6.—The Susque
hanna river hero hns risen ten feet in as
many hours, causing a grei ' deal of damage.

Richmond, Me., January 7.—The sudden
cold has caused the ice to jam and the
river, the Kennebec, is full of ice from live
to ten feet thick far from seven to ten
miles along where ice is gntliered. There
are thirteen ice houses here with the ca
pacity of 550,000 tons. Thousands
laboring men are dependent
upon the ice industries for
employment during the winter, and all in
terested aro quite despondent over the situ
ation, but tho fields will be cleared if it can
be accomplished. Two hundred men and
one tug are nt work trying to start the jam.
Explosives will be used if other means fail.
Business is at a standstill, awaiting the re

In this city cellars are flooded, and many
merchants are moving their good 4 trom
basements. At Oswego, the Erie bridge
lima been carried away, and trains ore being
mn over tho tracks of tho Delaware Lnckn-
wranna and Western railroad between
Oswego and Elmira. The Tioga branch of
the Erie road has been abandoned. Con
siderable damage is also reported on the
Northern Central, a railroad bridgo having
been carried away at Trout Run.
Williamsport, Pa., Jannary 5.—The river
here has risen twenty-four feet, the highest
since the flood of 18&, when it was twenty-
five and a half feet. It is still rising slowly,
but it is believed that it has commenced
falling at the head of tho stream,
sll down west of Renova. Several million
feet of new logs went down this morniug,
chiefly owned by Pavne A Cochran aud
Munson »t Howard, of this city.
Water is now surrounding tho Philadel
phia and Heading railroad station in this
city, and the tracks are covered both above
and below the station. No trnirs have
gone out on the Pine Creek or Beech Crock
roads to-day. A train from the east on the
Philadelphia and Heading is detained below
Loyal Bock, where the bridges are impass
able. A train wus sont down from herd to
transfer the passengers and it lias not hoen
able to return, as trains have
been placed on tho tracks
loaded with iron to prevent
the trestle work from going. Almost the
entiro territory hntwoen tho canal and the
river in the city i* submerged, and consid
erable damago has been done. Three hun
dred barrels of flour were destroyed at A.
Good's mill. Trains are running on time
on the Philadelphia and Erie railroad. All
trains on the Williamsport and Catianda-
gua division of the Northern Central rail
road have stopped, owing to bridges being
swept away by the flood and the truck be
ing washed out.
Easton, Pa., January 5.—-This afternoon
the Lehigh river here is sixteen feet l»igh l
and the Delaw are river eighteen feet The
first floor of severtd mills aro covered with
water, and work has been suspended.
Trains on tho Lehigh Valley and Lehigh
and Husquehana railroads are delayed by
landslides aud washouts. Coal and freight
trains on the latter have been abandoned.
Shenandoah, Pa., January 5.—Tho ruin
storm throughout this section yesterday
and lost night was the most severe for n
number of yeAnt. No less than twelve col
lieries in Mahoning valley are flooded and
thrown idle by tlie rains, and truin'* on
both railways have been delayed from two
to eighteen hour*. There are three wash-
oats between Deland and Asblaud on the
Lehigh Valley, and that company was com
pelled last night to transfer its west-bound
passengers to the Philadelphia and Reodiug
railway. Home of the flooded collieries aro
expected to resume operations in a few
days, but weeks will be required to remove
the witter from others.
Allentown, Pa., Jauuary 5.—-The water

by the rain of yesterday. To-dsy the city

pumps at the waterworks were Hooded and
rendered useless. Gressmau's furniture

ed:

Washington, January 7.—The chair laid
before the Senate a letter from the Secretary
of War transmitting a petition from West
Point students who are to be graduated in
June 1880, praying that provision may be
m«de for their appointment to the array.
Refereed to the committee on military uf-
fairs.
Mr. Voorheos offered as n substitute for
the resolution recently offered by his col
league—the one reciting in its preamble
that the Commissioner of Pensions in his
annual report had stated that at one time
the pension bureau whs all but avowedly a
political machine filled with uncompromis-
ng adherents of a single organization
(nieaniug the Republican party), and that
cluimants were often required to support
the Republican party as a condition upon
which pensions should issue. Tho resolu
tion instructs the committee on expendi
tures of public money to enquire into tho
truth of these allegations and confers pow
er to send for persons and papers.

The Lancet.
It is startling to discover now little wo
know about the common forms of disease.
For example, a “cold." What is it? How
is it produced, and in what does it consist?
It is easy to say a cold is a chill. A chill
of what part of tho organism? We know
by daily experience that the body, us a
whole, or any of its parts, may bo reduced
to a considerably lower tempaturo than w ill
suffice to give a man a cold if the so-called
chill be inflicted upon tho surface suddenly.
It is then, the suddenness os a reduction
of tempaturo that causes the cold?
It would he strange if it were so, because
few of tho moat susceptible of mortals
would take cold from simply handling
piece of cold inotal or accidental contact
with ice. The truth would seem to be,
that what we call cold-taking is tho result of
a sufficient impression of cold to reduce
tho vital energy of iiervQ-centrea presiding
over the functions in special organs. If
this bo tho fact it is easy to see why nature
has provided the stimulus of a strong fit of
of sneezing to rouse tho dormant centres
and 'enable them nt once to resume work
aud avoid evil consequences. This explains
why the worst effects of cold do not. as a
rule, follow* up a “chill" which excites much
sneezing. Shivering is a less effective
convulsion to restore tho purulyzed nervous
energy, but, iu u lower degree, it may
answer tho same purpose. The rbivering
that results from the effect of a poison of
tho nervous centres is * totally different
matter. We speak only of tho quick mus
cular agitation and tecth-chnttering which
occur whenever the body is exposed to cold
and evil results do not ensue. It follows,
from what we have sold, that the natural in
dication to ward off the effects of n chill is
to restoro the vital energy of the nerve
centres, and there is no more potent in flu
dice by which to attain this object than a
strong and sustuiued effort of the w ill. Tho
man who resolves not to take a cold seldom
does.

hard cider and chewed mutton pie and

Mrs. Hill’s Marriage,
Ban Francisco, January tk—It was an
nounced last night that Mr*. Sarah Althea
Hill, the plaintiff in tho celebrated Sharon
divorce case, would be married this morn
ing at Stockton, to David S. Terry, ex-
chief justice of the Supreme Court of Cal
ifornia, and Mrs. Hill’s leading counsel.
Mr. Terry is well known in connection
with the duel with Senator Broderick, in
which the latter was killed.
Btockton, Cal., January 7.—David T.
Terry, ex-Chief Justice of the Supreme
Court of California, and Miss Sarah Althea
Hill, who claims to be the widow of ex-
Beuator Sharon, of Nevada, were married
shortly before 10 o'clock this morning in
the parsonage of the Catholic church.
Us Will not Emigrate.
Chicago, January 7.—J. H. Meyers, teller
of the Pullman National Bank at Pullman,
Ills., was arrested last night for embezzle
ment He wss suspected some weeks ago,
and Mr. Pullman engaged Major Bulk ley,
of New York, an expert accountant, to go
through Myers's accounts quietly to see
what his shoUage waa. The expert found
a discrepancy of several thousand dollars.
Myers wss confronted with the figures, end

was given s chance, but last night, when he

child to Caiuda, he was — sated.
ancient Christmas festivities with any en
thusiasm. There was nothing appetizing
about such stuff. But now we contemplate
such things with absolute indifference, if
not disgust.
Mince pie is one of the relics of those
senii-biirbarons times. Hot, well, it can
absorb And couccal more heat and keep it
longer than any other substance or com
bination of substances ever invented. And
to digest it would throw a saw mill out of
gear. It is rank poison. A mince pie was
never known to be off the fire. It can
gather in more heat to the square inch
and can be packed or condensed into the
same space anywhere else, and project it
with more cunning than a live politician.
Unless you eat with a thermometer you had
better keep it on ice for a week previous to
using, otherwise tho coolevt looking piece
will slip tut innocently into vonr mouth as
if it had been reduced to the most comfort
able temperature, but when once in it
fairly bursts into il <mes and stews the very
water out of your eyes.
But this is not all the meanness of mince
pie. After it has butiud and tortured its
victim into taking a pledge never to touch
it agrin, it gets in its fine work on the
digestive organs will keep a tramp
awake nil night with indigestion. It is
simnly diabolical, and should be relegated

sition to the man who hod him removed.
Mr. Voorhees accepted the amendment
offered by Senator Logan. The resolution
went over for ono day.
After the passage of a few bills for private
relief, the hour of 2 o'clock ui riving, the
Utah bill was placed before Senate, Mr.
Brown first stating that he would not ask
to be heard to-day on the silver question,
but would ask to be so hoard on Tuesday
next at 2 o'clock.
Mr. Morgan addressed the Senate in sup
port of an amendment offered by him, pro
viding for the ^disposal of the property of
the Mormon Church according to the rules
und principles of common law, ns in case of
dissolution of corporations. Mr. Morgan
felt, he said, that we ought to strike the
Mormon church organization out of exis
tence. It was os a shrewd temper organi
zation that it has gained so ranch power.
Its emigrant arrangements, its tilting ca
pacity, its money power, and, generally, its
organizing vigor, hud been the wonder of
our time. Instead of appointing trustees
for the management of these temporal mat
ters, Congres should cut up organization,
tiou root and branch.
Mr. Call (lid not believe that Congress
has a right to destroy the religious establish
ment of tho Mormons. The practice
of polygamy, unholy though it was,
did not authorize us to violate
institution of the United
States by legislating in regard to an estab
lishment ot religion, or take private piop-
erty for public use. Referring to
the Edmunds point, that it was
religious but temporal concerns
of tho church that were to be administered
by the trustees provided by the bill. Mr.
Cull inquired wlmt would be tbought of Con
gress if it should undertake to administer,
by trustees or otherwise, the property and
temporal affairs of, for example, the Homan
Catholic Church. He read from early Pu
ritan laws to show that in tho 17th century
Quakers “ere denominated a “damnable
sect," and that all persons who encouraged
their entry into the colonies were subject to
a fine of one hundred pounds, us well ns
imprisonment. The Christian sentiment of
the country and ordinary laws, if enforced,
were amply sufficient for deuiiug with po
lygamy. llo therefore opposed the hill.
Mr. Edmunds said tuo bill would not
affect the religious affairs of the Mormons
—it would only affect the temporal ar
rangements of the Mormon church so far
as these arrangements contribute to tho
perpetuation of what the people of the
United States regard os a crime. Mr. Mor
gan did not feel that we were dealing with
an establishment of reiigicn. It might
pass as religion in China or iu the valley of
the Congo. Here it was an establishment,
not of religion, but of vice. The sentiment
of the whole people of the United States
wus against it. It was an establishment
opposed to the spirit of our national con
stitution.
Considerable debate as to the legal effect
of the provisions relating to testimony to
be giveu by husbands and wives, and some
amendments of detail were made. Mr.
Morgan's amendment was lost, ns also were
sonic amendment* offered by Mr. Brown
as to one of which, that certain portions of
the act should apply equally to Gentiles and
Mormous. Mr. Edmunds exclaimed (soUo
tfore) “oh, don’t put any such provisions as
that into the statutes ot the United States."
[Laughter]
Mr. Edmunds said the laws of the United
States applied to every body in the United
States.
Mr. Voorhees sent to the desk and had
the clerk read a telegram from Salt Lake
City which he said, in justice to tho Utah
commissioners, ought to be read. It was
a dispatch trom A. Spaddock, saying:
••Van Wyck Is mistaken stout the clerks of the
romnil-Miim. The sve-rstfe of permanent clerk* from
the tierfiiuinK to dste does not exceed three, possi
bly four. Including s temjtorxry clerk. Only one
clerk Is now employed.'*
Mr. Vanwyck thought it extraordinary
that the commission did not know how
many clerks it had. He did not like that
expression. “Three, postibly four.” Per
haps if they employed another clerk, they
could probably find oit exactly how

AN odd sort of law suit. |

Bau Bernardiuo (Cal.) Times.
The case of Randall and Noyes a;J
Gustavo Bohn, which was decided in Jn«L
Knox'* court yesterday, is probably vitlffi
parallel in the history of law suits. ■
daiutiil* are raisin-growers in tli* 111
unds, seven milts from here. Adjoiifl
their vineyard Bohn ha* a bee ranch. ■
suit was for damages claim -*l by tii • i> l
tiffs to have been suffered by the
visitations of defendants bee* to :
grapes, iu support of their claim tbtj
trod need numerous witnesses who r
that they had, in vurious instances, i
uesaud, with their own eye*, the porfo
and destruction of plnintiff’s grapes i
alighted upon by the busy, busy bee c
defendant. Tho latter, iu turn, introvl
evidence to show the impossibilitv of |
c.ndition of btings. He proved by a »
of witnesses that the bill of the ins*
tubular aud not pointed, and can, thci
be used only us an extractor of sweets,]
us a borer.after them. The evidence of
eye-witnesses of the plaintiffs, howl
had the weight with the jury, aud they!
curdingly returned a v« mint against tbf
fondant for $75 and the costs of suit, '
amount to over SCO. A stay of procecl
has been asked for, and tho case will pi
bly bo appealed. It is one of interest tfl
ranchers und raisin-growers, and is atq
ing much attention.
