The Water to a eight of 27 Feet. An UNPUBLISHED ACCOUNT BELO NGING TO THE CENTRE COUNTY FLOODS, The flood which destroyed Johnstown and the flood which did so much dams age at Millheim and along Elk creek in our county, were cansed by the bursting of dams overtaxed by an extraordinary volnme of water from excessive rains, in which the destruction of life and proper- ty cansed thereby would not have occur- red had these damp been able to with- stand the strains, and their accomulated waters been held within their basins, In one of the mountain districts of our county there was an actual cloud burst at the time of the flood of which no ac- count has yet been published, which we wroceed now to do, having visited the ocality and seen its marks and effects. In the mountains opposite Paddy Mountain station are three gorges. The first of these is chursed by Poe creek; the next, 4 mile farther east, is quite a narrow gorge, coursed by a mere rivalet, Ten Goo d Things to Know, 1.

That blue ointment and kerosene mixed in equal proportions and applied to the hedsteads is an unfailing bedbug remedy, as a coat of whitewash is for the walls of a log house, %. That kerosene will soften boots or years ago called Kryder run, now nam- ed Panther run; a § mile east of mouth of this is Swift (Roush) | These three streams empty into | creck, within a distance of one mile. Poe run isa good sized stream and drains Poe valley. Swift run is one- half as large and drains a long but nars row gorge. There were no dams either Swift run or Panther run, breaking of which would cause a sudden rise of either of these creeks.

They take it along in a bottle, ~The Philadelphia Record says that ome times men give according to their means, and sometimes according to their meanness, This is a clerical bon~mot nearly as old as the hills, bat we can bear hearing it once in a while, The longest trout yet caught in this valley was one taken ont of Elk creek, by A. D. Walizer, of Millheim, a few weeks ago. It measured 22 inches, and was taken on a bait hook. Walizer gays the next whopper he catches will be sent to the Reporter office, a+ a sam- ple of his skill as an angler. —~(Jentre Hall boys should remems ber that it is against the boro laws to play ball on the streets, and that it is most dangerous to play ball near any of the churches, The boro officials should gee that this ordinance is enforced, at least so far as playing near the charches is concerned, endangering the win~ dows. —We are informed there is a little unpleasantness connected with the dis- tribution of the relief for the Millheim flood sufferers. This should not be thus, for the good Lord only knows when they will have another wash down that way, and if bad feelings are to spring from the flood they did have, why they may never be favored with such another, Fire was discovered on Saturday evening in the kitchen part of Mm. Bairfoot's residence. It originated from 8 defective flue which rested upon a plank; the plank took fire and it soon got into the plastered walls. A timely iscovery and immediate application of water arrested the farther progress of the blaze, which might have ended quite seriously. —Beecher & Sober have purchased all the timber on 77 tracts of land in Noyes township, Clinton county, in the er run region. Some was bought from the West Branch coal, iron ore and lnmber company, some from Noyes & Robbins and some known as the Cox lands. This may not be good news for pheasants and other game np ia those pections, unless our friend Sober forgets to take his shooting irons along. ~ For years past partiss who own lands south of Lock Haven have con- tended that they were underlaid wih rich de ts of iron ore. Several at. tempts have been made to put the ore oa ho market, but call have filed, A w days ago an ex mining engineer visited the lands and, with one day's prospecting, fonnd veins of hoth hema tite and bog ore which are rich in iron, and which the expert was confident would by analysis be shown to contain fifty per cent. of iron. Samples of the ore are now being analyzed, and in a few days the work of opening the veins will commence, The intention of the capitalists who sent the pEpert to exam: ine the lund is to mine and ship the ore to other points, where it will be used to Satarday morning of the flood i carn down Panther run and Swift | gaps which left marks that show 27 feet | of water. { ulet a steam sawmill and | were swept off, with teams, { all, leaving nothing br deep behind, several stables washouts | and clean cut banks On Swift ran watery | showed more ! & violenca. i i a rock ined bed and 8, most impassable thicket of ] ii element The ides | with an | trees alon | windings. came a flood of water, points shows a height its shores, and had numerou Down the course of this ru which at son of 27 feet; 12 and over, gections, pendicular walls 20 feet high and in one of its most crooked where it took nearly a mile to its month, ir cut a perfectly straight channel makes the distance within less than a half mile. with a clean and clear cat bad | 60 feet wide in place of the old which was from 6 to 10 feet in width, tell | the terrific force and power of the wave In the upper part of this gap heavy tramways were carried off like boards, and went thundering dowa the gap ol mel! into Penns creek to join the | from Millheim, which about that | made its appearance at Paddy mouns tain, and with the roar of a dozen thuns der gusts came along with its wreckage of houses, horses, stables, fences, bridges, ete., from Penn and Brush vallies, mountain, joined in maddened glee with the fierce flood from the vallies.
