on Thursday, while the water was rising,
James Rawson, daughter and SOFV:IIIL
Robert Whitley, wile and three children,
and a colored woman with her three chil
dren were standing MI an abutment of the
canal bridge, at Lynchburg, waiting for a

NVAsitiNiiroN, Oct. 1.--One of the most
sudden :mil destructive freshets over known
on the Potomac river eionnienceil la,t
night, :rod, as .1. consequence, there has
been great destruction of property.
It was discovered this morning that two
spans of the Chain bridge had been swept
away, cutting oil' all travel in that direction
loltween the District of Columbia and the
Virginia shore.
Large quantities of heavy mill gearing
and (lour in barrels, from the various mills
on the river, have been constantly passing
down, together with timber, small boats,
sheds, and household and other articles.
The damage has been heavy in George
town. The streets bordering the river
were to-day lined with boxes of goods, and
persons in boats recovering them. Teams
were employed in carrying barrels, bags of
guano, and all light goods within reach, to
places of safety
Two or three wharves were swept away.
Several °anal boats pir+sed down, indicat
ing heavy damage to the Chesapeake and
Ohio canal.
A letter reeeived from Sheppardstown
says, it is thought that most of the damage
will be this side of Harper's Ferry, from
the fact that the Shenandoah river Is the
most swollen by rains.
At Sandy Hook, the water was 5 foot
over the tow path.
In Washington, much misusage has been
done along the river front. The planking
to most of the wharves has been lifted. At
ono o'clock to-day, tho highest water point
was reached, when the flood began to sub
side. Tho Long bridge has been very much
damaged, about five hundred feet of the
causeway being entirely swept away, and
both spans nearest the south draw have
been broken. Five or six hundred feet of
the wall of the Washington and Alexan
drla railroad track have been destroyed, a
largo portion of trostlejtvork under the
railroad bridge having been carried off.
It is estimated the damage to the railroads
conaecting Alexandria with other southern
points, many bridges having been destroy
ed, will amount to several hundred thou
sand dollars.
Accounts continue to be received of dam
age on the line of the canal and the rivers,
and it is believed that tho damage, in the
aggregate, will athount to several million
of dollars.
The freshet in the Potomac is very great.
The river is filled with debris of fences,
bridges, houses, household furniture, bar
rels of flour, ,tc., and some of the wharves
are overflowed.
• -
The damage to the ()range and Alexan
dria railroad amounts to the washing away
of four bridges. The bridges over the
North and South forks of the Shenandoah
were washed away, and the rise of that
river is inure rapid than ever was known
before.
All the mills and houses on its Mullis are
washed away and many liveA were lost.
(me faintly was at breakfast when the
111/LlOO WWI swept away, and all but the head
of the family were drowned.
No trains from Lynchburg, have arrived
since \ Vednesday night last. Tho trains
rim regularly to Front Royal and Gordons
ville. The Chesapeake and (Ado canal is
thought to linivo SUStained serious laniage,
:I,i-breaks at Ilancock and Knoxville are
already reported.

equaled, and discipline which can only be
obtained by a high civilization, you entered
France, and your cause was victorious. We
- ask you that you will make the fortresses
which have hitherto menaced you the
guards of your borders; that you will re

were robbed, and demand reimbursement
for the expenses of the war. Let German
unity, and a full and free representation of

your bravery."

[From the Utah Gospel.]
Miss Laura Claire, the beautiful daugh
ter of Prof. Ignaz Claire, the astronomer,
has, it has been well known for some time,
been engaged to Mr. Alfred Vivian, the
young writer, author of "Hell and Heaven,
Which. Will Yon Have?" " Think and Re
pent.," "Prayers for the Sinners," and
other beautifula tracts, which have given
him quite a reputation ; but for some rea
son or other, it has been suspected that
there was a coolness between them.
Still, Miss Claire loved him devotedly, and
the preparations for the wedding were go
ing on. In the meanwhile Mr. Joseph
Morton, a young gent of this city, had
fallen desperately in love with Miss Claire,
and refused to be denied admittance to the
house, although Professor Claire had sev
eral times ordered him out. Ile, when
treated thus, declared mysteriously that he
know certain secrets about Miss Claire, and
if she did not marry hint, ho would repeat
them. He demanded to see her alone.—
This she finally consented to, and after a
long interview, he departed, stating ho
would return the next day. To this she
smiled and said, "Yes, I shall always be
glad to see you." These words were repeat
ed by one of the servants to Mr. Vivian
when he came that evening, and he asked
his affianced what they meant. She said
"Nothing." Ile remained silent. After
while Le said "Do you love this Morton ?"
Miss Claire laughed and said " Don't be a
fool, Alfred." " Then you refuse to an
swer?" he said. Sho frowned. " You know
I love you," she answered; "and if you ask
nun any more silly questions, I shall he an
gry." Mr. Vivian left shortly after, ap
pearing much displeased. The next morn
ing Mr. Morton came. The servants no
ticed that Miss Claire was deadly pale,
but she received hint quite cordially.—
"You must have some wine," she said.
" If course," he replied. "with sou."—
lie took a glass and drank it. Shortly
alter he departed, but before Lu had walk
: ed three blocks ho fell to, the ground,
and was picked up—dead ! A pica /nor
/cm revealed that he had been poisoned.
Dl ixs Claire was arrested. She sent tliir
"Do you believe inn guilty?"
she intro t. " I have nothing to say," he
replied. "1 am and have been fora month
e:r4,l;red:to be married to a gay lady in this
city, and it is not right that I should lie
seen With you." The milbrtunate young
lady uttered a piercing •ii-reant. “(111, Al

sake I loved you—he could have prevent

On Saturday night last, near the hour of
12 o'clock, a most diabolical attempt was
made to murder two young mcn, residing
inn this borough, as they were passing along
the west side the Square, under the awn
ing in 'front of Conklin's store. The l'acts
of the ease, as near as we can gather them,
are its follows: Jeremiah Trexlor mu! Al
fred Miller, two inoffensive young men, its
we are informed, wore passing quietly
along the street, on the way to their homes,
in West. Ward, were pounced upon by two
individuals, Who were secreted behind
some barrels ' at the place above mention
ed, and with knife in hand made desperate
attempts to murder their victims. Trexler
received a very severe cut in the liner, es
tending front the cornier of the eye to the
back !mist of his head, and cutting his ear in
two pieces. Ile also received a deep cut of
about two inches in length, in the fleshy
part of his left arm. Miller has all ugly
gash inn the neck, and had it not been for
the collar of his mat, the probabilities are
that the main artery would have been sev
ered. During the struggle loud calls were
made for the police, and the sounds of ap
proaching footsteps frightened away Ono
would-be-murderers before they entirely
finished their diabolical work.
The two injured men were taken home
and physicians summoned to dress their
injuries, and the assassins escaped. They
have no idea who their assailanlS were, nor
can they conceive Many 1 . 011.5011 for the at
tack. This is, indeed, a most terrible out
rage, and the reputation of our town de
mands that the authorities shall use their
utmost endeavors to bring the perpetrators
justice.—.Ewdon Argus.
There has been a sudden and colidder
able advance ill l earfielllll, tchirh, ill the
lace of the largest production on reco rd,
certainly . l o oks anomalous at first sight,
but, according to a leading Now York
authority, is explained by two causes.—
FBA, an enormous quantity of refined oil
was sold for export dui . ing the ten days that
ended with Saturday last, besides a good
deal of crude oil which was taken out of
market by speculators on the Creek. The
relined oil there sold is reported as being
intended for shipment in vessels which,
it is rumored, have been secretly chartered
to run the blockade—now scarcely more
than nominal—of the German Baltic ports;
and the crude oil bought at the saute time
was purchased in the belief that a rise in
prices would follow the sales of refined oil.
That rise has followed, as expected. Sec
ond, it is persistently reported in New York,
that the surplus of crude oil is being tanked
as fast as produced, and that the producers
do not think that the fact of present tank
ing is likely to injure their future interests
to the extent to which those who are not
producers aver that it will. These are the
acts and rumors as they exist.
Tho conduct of the Bavarian troops in
burning the town of Bezellles on the day
of the battle of Sedan, is the subject of se
vere comment. The Duke de Fitzjames,
whose statements, it is alleged, are confirm
ed by the correspondents of the English
Liberal journals say that when the Ger
mans wore advancing on Bezellles. the in
habitants put on their "National Guards"
uniforms and fought With the French army.
The Frohch were driven back into Bazeill
es, and the Bavarians formed a circle
around the village and set it on lire. A
large number of persons who had taken re
fuge in the cellar were burned alive, and
out of a population of 2000 only 300 were
saved. It is asserted that the Bavarian's
drove the women cud children back
into the flames, and shot those who suc
ceeded in breaking through: The atmos
phere around the village, it is reported, is
pervaded with the smell of charred flesh,
and the charred bodies of the inhabitants
aro lying around.:

Jr. idler, a member of the Board, had
more boldness, however, and set about the
work of wilb-solueting with a zeal worthy
of the most ardent lover.
Ile directed his attention particularly to
a Miss Sperry of Brooklyn, N. V., then tin

Was she not equally exorcised about her

Endormement by the Democratic county
IM=l2
Pursuant to a call of the Chairman, the
Democratic County Committee met attheir
rooms yesterday at I l o'clock. In spite
of the inclemency of the weather there was
quite a fun attendance.
R. it. Tshudy, Esq., the Chairman, stated
that the object of the meeting was to take
into consideration the action of the Execu
tive Committee appointed at a previous
meeting, and to determine whether the
ticket nominated at the meeting in Fulton
Hall on Saturday should be endorsed and
recommended to the supportt A' the I >ctuoc
racy of o neaster county. he called for
the report of the Executive Committee.
L. C. Eshleman, Esq., Chairman of the
Executive Committee, stated that the ac
tion of the committee had resit Itral in the
bolding of a convention in _Fulton Half on
Saturday, at winch a ticket composed of
Democrats and Republicans whom it was
believed Democrats could conscientiously
and cheerfully support under the circum
stances, had been nominated. Mr. Eshle
man gave a brief sketch of the character
and claims of the different candidates. He
stated that it Was not deemed expedient to
nominate any one in opposition to Messrs.
Engle, Reed,Frey and Shoch, trait was con
ceded that they had been fairly nominated
and were honest men capable of tilling the
positions for which they were nominated
to the entire satisfaction of the people of
Lancaster county. Mr. Eshleman gave
an encouraging account of the independent
movement, producing evidence to show
that the dissatisfaction in the Republican
party with the conduct of the men who as
sume tin be its leaders in Lancaster county
is. wide-spread and abiding. lie urged
unanimous action, and expressed the
belief that the action of the Com
mittee so taken would be regard
ed as binding upon the Democratic
party of the county. Mr. Eshleman ex
pressed the belief that a full poll of the
Democratic vote would insure the election
of the whole Independent ticket.
Dr. IL Carpenter followed Mr. Eshleman
in a brief and forci bl o speech. Ire believed
with Mr. Eshleman that the Independent
ticket could be elected by a vigorous effort.
He held that every true Democrat was
bound to abide by the action of the Com
mittee. Dr. Carpenter concluded by offer
ing the following resolution :
Rose/red, That the Democratic County
Committee approve of and endorse the
ticket nominated at the Convention assem
bled in Fulton Hall on Saturday last t and
that we recommend It to the earnest and
undivided support of the Democratic voters
of Lancaster County.
H. B. Swarr, Esq., in seconding the mo
tion of Dr. Carpenter, stated that the action
of the Itopubßrans who had from time to
time met the Executive Committee, of which
ho was a member, had been fair, open, man
ly and honest throughout. Mr. Swarr said
certain scared Republicans of this city
were predicting that the Democracy would
not-support the Independent ticket. They
would certainly be badly mistaken. In
1861 the only man on the Independent
ticket who was defeated was a Republican.
The Republicans stood squarely by the
Democrats on the ticket then, and the
Democracy of Lancaster county would
show themselves to be fully as honorable
now. He knew the Democracy of the
county would at once recognize the bind
ing force of the action of the County Com
mittee, and freely and cheerfully support
the ticket thus put in nomination.
Dr. - Carpenter's resolution was unani •
monsly adopted with applause.
On motion the Committee then proceeded
to nominate a Democratic candidate for
Jury Commissioner. The following per
sons were put in nomination:
Barnett Reynolds, city; C. J. Rhodes,
Manor township; Win. McComsoy, city ;
A. Z. Ringwalt, city; Lewis Zeeher, idty.
Prior to balloting a resolution was adopt
ed, to the effect that a majority of the votes
cast should be necessary to a nomination,
and that the lowest candidate on each suc
ceeding ballot should be dropped. Three
ballots were had, resulting as fidlows :

FATAL. Actl DENT.-011 Tuesday afternoon
between 2 and 3 o'clock, near Brack bit is
Mill, in West Lam peter township, a lad
named James B. Rees, son of Sluice Rees,
of this city, accidentally shot and instantly
killed Samuel Kyle, sou of John Kyle, re
siding in East Orange street, near Ann.
The facts of the case, so nearly as we
have been able to gather them, are as fol
lows: on Tuesday morning about 7 o'elock
James 11. Rees, aged 16 years, Samuel
Kvlo, about the same age, and John Gor
man, a year younger, procured a horse and
1.11:, ,. gy from George Hartman and drove to
Miller's Hotel in Lampeter Square, when;
they put up their horse and went into the
country fur birds, ltees haying a heavy
double-barreled gun and Kyle a sin
gle-baireled gun. Nothing worthy of
note occurred during the forenoon,
and the boys returned to the hotel
and took dinner. After dinner they again
sallied forth for game, Kyle shooting a
grey squirrel, and Rees a couple of birds.
As Rees was loading his gun, Kyle com
menced throwing, 'playfully, small clods
of dirt at both the other boys, and just as
Rees was placing a cap upon the tuba of
his gun, a clod thrown by Kyle struck him
on the hand, and struck also the cock or
the trigger of the gun, discharging ono of
the barrels, the entire load entering the loft
side of Kyle's head and face, tearing
away a large portion of the skull, to
gether with the loft eye and ear, killing
him instantly. Rees wasterribly frighten
ed when ho saw what he had done; said he
had shot his best friend, and asked Gorman
to shoot him. Both boys crying, ran to
Brackbill's mill, a few hundred yards dis
tant, where they saw some men working,
and told them what had happened. The
men at once proceeded to the spot where
the tragedy had occurred, and found Kyle
lying dead. Rees greatly excited threw out
his arms anti requested the men to shoot
him. Fearing he might shoot himself the
men discharged the guns and took posses
sion of theist, and the two boys were
advised to return to Lancaster in the
buggy and make known what had
happened. They came to town and went
to Shulze Rees', where they told their story.
Mr. Rees then took his boy to the Mayor's
Office, where he had a hearing before
Al
derman Fisher, and the above facts were
elicited.
S. 11. Reynolds, Esq., as counsel, asked
that the boy be discharged. This Alder
man Fisher declined doing, and by mutual
consent the matter was referred to Judge
Haves. this Honor said the matter could
not properly come before him except on a
writ of habras corpus, which could be hears I
after the Coroner's jury had rendered their
verdict. Rees was then committed to jail
to await the verdict. In the meantime,
Jacob Herzog . and the boy I ;ennui' return
ed to Brack bill's mill for the body of 'young
Kyle, and brought it to this city.
This morning at tt o'clock Depute Cor
oner Myers summoned a jury, consisting
of James Potts, Henry Shubert. J. 11. t.iel
vert, A. F. Bair, li. 11. Ober and William
Lewars, and held an inquest on the body
at the residence of Mr. Kyle in last Orange
street. 'rho only witness examined was
the boy John tierman, whose testinumy
substantially corroborated the above ,Luti•-

DI:sTI;UCTIVE FiltE.—On Tuesday after
ni um last, the carpenter and machine
shops of Peter J. :Storm felt', on Water
street. above:Lemon, took fire anti were en
tirely destroyed, with their contents, con
sislin..4 of sonic very line patent planers,
inou (e.g machines, re-saws, Sc., .lc.,
tu
gether with a largo and valuable asortment
of tools, a number of corn shelters and
other agricultural implements, sash, doors,
flooring,. boards, and a large amount of
lumber. The loss is variously estin fated
at from f, , U,000 to iiflO,lloo, upon which we am
told there is no insurance.
The tiro was first discovered in the stable
adjoining the machine shop, and it is solo
posed that a spark from the smoko-stack
set lire to the hay there stored, the flames
rapidly spreading to the surrounding com
bustible materials.
n the rear of the shop Mr. Philip le
setter had a large amount of lumber stored,
of which perhaps $l,OOO worth is destroyed.
large amount of the planed lumber in
the shop is said to have belonged to Mr. G.
Sener.
MissiNG.—The Reading Eagle says that
some three weeks ago Mrs. Mary Forney,
widow of the late Grabill Forney, of Lan
easter county, came to Reading on a visit
to her sister, Mrs. Robeson, resldingat No
114 Spruce street. Mr. Forney was the
proprietor of a hotel,store and farm in Lan
caster county, and last year the buildings
on his property were consumed by Lire. In
the mouth of October ho took sick and died.
Since the death of her husband, Mrs. For
ney has been subject to melancholy spells,
caused by the largo amount of trouble she
experienced. She lived with a sister in
Lebanon county up to a few weeks ago,
and while there, when the melancholy
spells came on, wandered away front home
in the morning and did not return until
evening. Sometimes she was found :and
brought home.
On Monday morning ;dealt rio'cloek, she
left h e r sister's home, in this city, without
saying - a word, and has nut 1/1 , 011!+0011 Sitl,4%
It is not known what direction silt , Went.
It is, however, supposed that she strayed
into the country.
Mrs. Forney is a lady of about II:. years
of age, of medium height, amt has black
hair and black eyes; awl Ire i on when she

INT El tCM' I M.,
Nearly every week our village is the scene
of one or two more skirmishes which oc
cur between the young pugilists of the sur
rounding neighborhood: un last Mon
day evening, two young fellows deter
nosed to light out a grudge of long stand
ing. The light lasted about ten minutes
and terminated as follows: One party had
his arm badly sprained, and one eve
slight-
Ivbruised; while the other had the half
of his left ear bitten off. Both wishing to
pay their addresses to the same younglady
caused the difficulty. If there is any pref
erence to be shown in the case, the one
eared man should hare it, as he fought
against great odds, and with a dutermbia
tion worthy of a better cause.
A cross steer escaped from the slaughter
pen of our butchers a few days ago, with

ELIZATIETFITOWN SCHOOLS—The open
ing of the secondary school in Elizabeth
town was delayed some, in consequence of
the School Board electing a teacher, who,
alter having articled to teach, declined to
do so. The teacher's reason for declining
Was on account of receiving a better offer,
in the shape of salary, from another place.
The Board then thought that, rather than
oblige him to teach against his will, they
would permit him to go. After this two
candidates presented themselves. The
Board then toot and proceeded to ballot for
a teacher, the result of which was, a tie on
the first and on many subsequent ballot
ings held for these respective candidates.
In this shape things stood for some time,
(the other schools having in the meantime
opened). This matter was, however, finally
settled by electing a new man.
There is reason to think, 'front the char
acter of the teachers employed in the dif
ferent schools, that the cause of education
will flourish in Elizabethtown.
MONT:3IENT To Dn. HARISAUGIF.—A mon
ument to Dr. Henry Harbaugh, so well
known to many in Lancaster will be erect
ed over his remains, in front of the Re
formed Church of Mercersburg, on Tuesday
the .16th day of October. Passengers will
be carried trom Greencastle to Mercersburg
at reduced rates. Rev. Benjamin Bausman
will deliver an address on the occasion.

After the installation ceremonies were
over the D. D. G. M. made a highly inter
esting speech, full of illustrations of the
benent of this most beneficent order. Ile
was ably and eloquently assisted by P.
G. Mitchell J. Weaver and the rest of the
visiting Lancasterians. The hall was
crowded and the brethren were listened
to with much attention, the Lodge at
that point being very strong in numbers, in
wealth, and particularly in the intelligence
of its members. It is very popular in the
neighborhood and undoubtedly does much
lasting good there. Tho Lancaster brethren
were highly delighted with their visit, and
displayed a keen appreciation of the warm
hearted sociability of the Kosciusko mem
bers. Everything was done to contribute
to their combirt and pleasure, no expense
was spared, and they crowned their kind
ness by preparing fur thorn an elegant sup
per, which was given them at the hotel of
ro. D. M. Moore. and which they discussed
with their usual ability in such eases.
They left Raw linsville the next morning,
with the remembrance of their visit int
pres,ed very deopl3 - oil their memories,
and 111 Llell encouraged with the display of
unselfishness of odd Fellowship in ail its
Mrms.
On their return they stopped at Gen. G.
M. Steintnan's place, al out one mile from
Rawlinsville, by invitation, for a short tine
and enjoyed a half hour's rest there. The
Gen. extended the hospitalities of his man
sion in his usual generous manner, and
gave the brethern a warm invitation to
spend the day with him, which , wuch to
their regret, they were unable to do. While
there they took the opportunity of survey
ing the country front that point, the alti
tude there being very high, and were de
lighted with the extent and beauty of the
panorama before them. The view em
braces an extent of perhaps forty in ilex, and
is hardly equalled anywhere in the county,
in its scope. After examining the improve
ments and conveniences of the place and
taking a look at the blooded stock in the
stables, they were Coln Pot thl to once
much delighted with What they had seen,
heard and otherwise eni.ycd.

They are to grade the road, put down the

will cost over a million of dollars, mad it is
to be completed within a year from the pre

A LaNcasTimraN DROWNEIL — The Phil
adelphia papers state that " the body of
,111 unknown man was found drowned this
miming in rile Delaware at Walnut scree
wharf. lie is 50 years of age, and has short
gray hair and whiskers. Ile is dressed in
a black sack coat, dark vest, light striped
pants, White shirt, woolen undershirt, am
low shoes. From papers fiminl in his
pockets, he Is supposed to be named Tinto
thy Gordon, and residing in Lancaster, Pa
The Coroner took charge of the body.”
The deceased is no doubt Timothy I;Ord,)11,
late of this city, a harmless but dissipated
Irishman, well known to our police court.
and to most of our citizens. Ile was a Uni
ted States pensioner, and we believe re
ceived some money but a few days age,allt
left this city for Philadelphia.
F . I IN GORDONYILI.E.—The entire
Machine Shops in Gurdonville, together
with a barn of A. Bowman, Was totally
consumed by tire, between 12 and 1 Celock
this morning. The part farthest from the
Railroad caught first. Fortunately the
night was calm, or most likely tho vii loge
would have been destroyed. There seems
to be a difference of opinion as to how the
tire originated. Tho property is insured
in live 1 'ompanies. A number of moomn
ies will be thrown out of employment.
They lost all their tools.
A lcktv PArka.—The Radical ring-mas
ters unable to answer With argument the
charges of fraud and] corruption brought
against them by the honest and independ
ent men of their party, who refuse longer
to countenance their open buying and sell
ing of offices, denounce the halopendent.s
ns "soreheads," and style their ticket a
"mule ticket." To prove how deep a hold
the new movement has in the hearts of tho
people a new daily paper called the inde
pendent Republican, has already been
started in its interest, and it we may judge
from the first number, which made its ap
pearance this morning, the roosters and
ring-masters will find out by Tuesday next
that mates are wonderfully hard kickers.
The new paper is handsomely printed and
