St. Loch* January 5.--Tit* Mntamoras, Me*., eo» respond .jTit of the Olobe-Demo- crat telegraphs aa follows: A dispatch was Bbadford, 1*a., Jannary 5.—A special to the Era from Emporium says tne heavy 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. At 10 o’clock this morning, the rain changed 4 ,, ii.tf,.., ill M.nkna An M.m received here Saturday from tne City of Mexico directing that the city ticket ap proved by the State Congres be issued. It was therefore proposed to turn over the mayoralty to Yturria to-day but friends of Torres rallied in force, and swear he shall not go in. A tight is expected. There is much disorder here, the city being entirely without a city governmet. Lust night the roughs were rampant, and there were sev eral shooting scrapes; unprotected women being tired on and one afternoon two men wounded FROM WASHINGTON. PROCEEDINGS OF THE TWO HOUSES YESTERDAY. The Call of the States Concluded—The House Committee* Announced—The Utah Hill Still Up-A Letter From Secretary Bayard. and the Governor of Arizon on Indian mat ters. By Mr. Gilford, of Dakoto, for tho ad mission of the State of D ikata. By Mr, Symes, of Colorado, for the un limited coinage of the silver dollar.

At the conclusion of tho call,the Speaker announced his committee appointments. l party of fifty ranch cron, under Gonzalez, re forced to disperse by Colonel Herda- were nez. The rancheros supported Yturria. On the day the city candidates were seated at Keynosa six men were creating a disturb ance at. Rodridgue's store. Policeman In- fanti went to turn them out, when they re sisted him. He fired, killing two and rout ing the rest The men killed were both noted desperadoes. An fee .fain. 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 sult of the present elforta to start the jam. to snow, but the water continues to 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 Jn the Lehigh river was swollen eight feet by the rain of yesterday. To-dsy the city la practically without drinking water, a* the pumps at the waterworks were Hooded and rendered useless. Gressmau's furniture factory waa compelled to shut down at Bethlehem. The water hacking into the boLcr house of the Bethlehem iron works and putting out the fires, the cotnnauy was obliged to shut dowu. The mill will l>e idle for some time und considerable loss will fall on the proprietors. Lock haven, Pa., January 5. Tho flood in tho Husquehanna river na bed its high est here to-day, after having submerged three-fourths of the city. No lives have been lost, hut the datuugo bus beeu very great. News from out of town conus in alowly on account of travel being interrupt ed. From all accounts farmers along the livor will lose heavily. The flood very nearly reached the high water mark of 18G5. The New York Chamber of Commerce Proposed Forelgu Treaties. Nkw York. December 0.— At a meeting of the New York Chamber of Commerce held to-day, the following resolution was adopt ed: Ilemilvrd. That this Chamber heartily indone the principles resardiiiR common treating enuncia ted by I’residcut Cleveland, in his message to Con gress. aud we aro of the opinion that conditions justify such treaties with Mexico and Kati Domingo; also, that in our treaties with foreign nations the important item of coaling statiouo should not bo lost sight of. 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. Mr. Logan had nothing U> say against the When the reading of the committee list had been completed the House,at 2:50, adjourn ed till Monday. The House Committee*.

No charge had been made against him, and the only reason known for his re moval whs that lie hud supported an in dependent Democrat for Congress in oppo- XVhut IB a Colli? 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. DYSPEPSIAS WAIL. The Most Atrocious Assault Ever Maile on a Great Institution. Baltimore New*. Thoru is no use talking about it—mince pies Arc not wholosomc. Our grandparents who delighted in ynte logs and hog face, and called it Christmas cheer, and drank hard cider and chewed mutton pie and chopped up a lot of variegated material and mixed it all with spices by the peck and called it pudding, may have had digestions like ostriches, but such cheer am that would kill a modern human being. We never did rend the bewildering descriptions of 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 confessed, but said he could fix it up. He was given s chance, but last night, when he wes discovered starting wi*h his wife and 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 to the liat of IntrlMirimiiK. 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.
