The scene at llarper's,Ferry, on Sat

Shenandoah street, and the low grounds
lying between it and the Shenandnith
7 -river-were,entiroly„submerged.--the
edge of the street is Washed .by the ca
nal, and between the canal and the
river, are three islands, separated by
ditches;' the , ripper island is called
Overton, the newt : Trail's, and the next
the Island of Virginius, the inner
aide of *henanditah street is a precipt
tons ledge,,Krhaps 500 feet high,whicll
(brined a barrier to . the flood , and
hemmed it in, but it went
down the street all the more:, violently
and swept away or greatly injured all
- the-buildings on thomaterside-Ainong.
them was the. Government stable, with
walls immensely thick , -and---strong;.-
which were -lifted from their ..fouada
lion, the brick being thrown about' as
though they had been send., Fifteen
other buildings, mainly dwellingsovere,
swepraway with all their contents, the
• inmates: barely escaping with their
. lives, and ten were badly damaged.
At dip lower end of the village, near
the Baltimore and' Ohio Bailrond,, is a
-- sifort—street—running- , r-juiraltel_with_
Shenandoah street, and between it and
the river, on which were several stone
and brick houses. On Friday evening
the water suddenly rose six feet, fill•
ing the first floors of these houses and
driving the inmates to the upper stor
ies.. The Webb family, were in the
greatest peril, ,1 he water constantly'
rising and the , foundations of their
house giving way. Mrs. Webb stepped
to a window with an infant in her arms
and
. held it up, appealing for its rescue.
A young man suggested .
A -BASKET FERRY, •
'and forthwith a large clothes-basket
• was procured, a, rope drawn through
the Bundles, and one end ;was thrown
to the windA of the bonne. A small
ropewas tied to each of the basket
handles, and the free end 'of the-one
held by the men on the bridge and the
other by Mr t ,.Webh at the window.
The basket was drawn over, the pas-
Imager tied in, and then - ,drawn back.
In thin - way seven persons, in,e,tpding
two twin babiesovere rescued. 'Three.
other families, the WilliamseS and the
Reeveses and Andersons, who had talc
en refuge in Mr. Williams's house, a
strongly built stone structure, conclud
ed to remain rather Limn risk the per
ils of the basket ferry. All night long
they Waited and watched while the
flood raced without, and rose inch by
inch, until finally they retreated to the
Hain,
TILE LAST PI.ACE OF REFUGE
The house remainedl.. firm until
morning; then the foundation wall
next the canal gave way, then the rear
- Wall - fel4,but the imprisoned souls still
clung to the Trent. When 'morning
came they were wilillyt- - ;.ftignaliiig for
help, but the• distance was so great
that no man could throw a rope across.
,i,At last, after many. trials, a ball, to
which a string °was .attached, was
thrown to the window of the falling
- house, and hy means of this string te.
ropewas drawn across and a basket
up - as rigged before, by which fif
teen persons were .safely brought to
'land. One chubby little fellow, .two
years old, was put in the ba'sket with
out being tied, 'and. was being.. pulled
across when he began to make the
most lively efforts to climb up the sides
and jump Out: He was hauled back
to the window and'tteditnd his little
legs bound firmly logether, and with
these fetters on his sturdy limbs he
was taken across the gulf.
A HEROIC WOMAN
In one of the brick houses on Herr's
Island, lived the Rev. Dr. Dutton, pas
tor of the Presbyterian Church, his
wife and two negro servants. On Fri
day night the foundations of his house
began giving way, and stepping Out. in•
to the hall he was struck by a falling
timber and knocked - senseless to the
floor, Mrs.•Dutton ; signalled to the
house immediately opposite, a strong
building, and from the second story a
rope was thrown to her: She tied this
around one of the servant girls, and
she was drawn across the street to the
next house through the water fifteen
feet deep. The rope was returned, the
other servant was sent over in the same
way, then the still unconscious hus
band, and last the heroic wife herself
crossed the pernouA flood after she had
seen the last of her household safely
over. The house proved to be a strong
house of refuge, and although the
winds blew and the floods came, it fell
not. On Saturday_they_tvere taken off
the island.
EFFORTS OF A YOUNG HUSBAND TO SAVE
Ms WIFE.
James Shipe lived with 'his wife, to
whom lie hail been welded about' five
months, on Overton's Island. WI el
the flood swept away his houttb Fri
day night, be stripped' himself for a
mighty swim, and, taking his wife on
his hack, plunged out into the raging
water, hoping to strike a tree, or some
of the strong houses that had not yet
yeilded to 'the waves. •He bravely .
struggled along, holding to his precious
burden,•and seizing one object after
another, only to find it give way'under
his grasp.
-At last he caught by the water iank
on Hall's Ipland, and at least.ten times
he endeavored to get hold of it,• and
was as often beaten back by the waves
that surged nroVnd it. Ills wife en•
treatcd him to let her gu and save
himself. "You are 'not prepared to

on 13o!liver Heights on •Prithir.evetv

the fenthit scene. The moonlight waA
not sufficient to en'able them to 'see
distinctly, but they heard the'crash of

ia now known that this was Sam idi

,AWHObE tAMILY DROWNED
A. large.brick honse of the group
owned by Mr. Murphy, but from which
ho had escaped in time, waamext over
turned and carried away. An old and
very worthy hlactrintur named Jerry
Harris, had fled to it with his tardily
from his own house, which was much
smaller, and of purse more liable to
be destroyed, 'When Mrs. Overton's
_house_ had_disappeoedLilinrris yas

soon he and his family, with the house .
in which they had sought refuge, dis

were five of this family drowned—Har

grand-children. Next went the re
mainder of Shipe's liouse. .

TIIE SCENE AFTER TIM FLOOD.
Sli'enatidonh street and the islands
beyond present a very melancholy
spectacle. .There.nre the unsightly
ruins, the great heaps, of foul rubbish,
the desolated hOmez, and worse than
all, the homes that have been blotted
out..•-AD _up the_street nre women
standing in the oozy mire and looking
steadfastly at heaps of sand which
marked the spots where late all thpir
affections clustered. They are home

out cloPe except. the water-soaked
garments they- wear.
A Ghost Story
residents of the Lower Road, about
a mile and a half from Gardonville,
have been considerably . ;'excited for the
past few weeks•by a ball of fire which
has been seen at different times of the
night and in different localities within
the radius ofhalfa A certain
family in the neighborhood has been
sorely afflicted within the last few_
years by the visitation bf death ; first
the moth&, then a daughter, the fath
er and him remaining daughters—the
latter two dying within a year or so of
one another—and all three •of the
daughters taken in their young woman
hood, lolied by all for their gentle
qualities of heart. We would not pain
the remaining members of the family
thus referred to by mention 'of (heir af
fliction, but for the purpose of
. giving
to superstition the credit of a tate por
tion of the tales told, such as, that one
person isosaidlo have seen a light in
every window of the house on SI cer
taimpight, and another saw the light
at another time , and 'approach the
house and apparently enter at a win
dow.
A young man, son of a well-known
gentleman who resides in the vicinity,
while driving along the road one even
ing, saw this light approaching in a
direct line toward him, hit it disap
peared when within a few feet of him.
This person MK thoroughly terrified,
and drove i»td n neigh yard, but
finding Hint they Mid retirt)ll for the
eight, pet the whip to lyhis horse and
went !ionic, where lie arrived in a Mate
of terror, And left his horse standing at
the door for another member of the
family to unhitch. This is but an in•
stance of similar experience by several.
It is not a Story told by. children or
weak minded grown persons alone, but
is qualified by persons of mature age—
not by tWo or three, but many—in
whose minds superstition has never
had a n a biding place or even a tempo•
rary hold. It is no trick miechipv
