an church. The pastor P.cr. S. M. Ilcnderson, was near the cIopc of his Bcnnon, and although greatly shocked, he w as enabled, after a brief pause, to resume and finish his dis course. His coolness under the cir cumstances no doubt prevented panic among his hearers, as all seem ed impressed with the belief that the building Lad been struck. Indeed, Mr. Henderson states that be would not hare been surprised to see the light of the burning building, so fully was he convinced that the lightning Lad shattered the roof. The ser vices were finished, and the audi ence remained for some time, as the rain was falling too heavily for them to get comfortably to their homes. As there was no leakage in the roof, as far as could be ascertained, it was finally concluded that the thunder bolt must have passed over. In the morning, however, an examination developed the fact that 'he lightning struck the roof, tearing up a portion of the tinning, but doing no serious damaere- Several of the members of the coneresation saw the electrical liirht nlavinc about their persons, but -r- IWO all escaped unharmed. Inthe Fourteenth ward the de struction was much less than was ex pected, especially at Soho. Beyond the carrying down of an old frame shanty and the slaughter house of Mr. Kunzman, no buildings were se riously injured. The stone sewer in progress of construction was broken down at Brady street, and a portion of the street wa3 washed out. Parts of the filling in at Sobo, on Fifth ave nue, was washed down, and masses of earth moved slightly, but the residents below made good their escape. Upon the hill, beyond Soho, great slides occurred, especially from (Jaz zam's hill, above the first bend. With the exception of a pnrtial blockade of the avenue, and the loss occasioned therebv no injury was done. ear the school hou.e"tLc earth also gave wav, but a retaining wall is now be ing" built. A portion of Soho street let down and the culvert there broke. On Neville or Boundary street an old ice house, belonging to Ir. Win. Weir, was swept away, while a lot of lumber for the bridge at Forbes street was lost. In the lower portions of the city the damage was inconsiderable, and upon the hill top. in and about Mi nersvillc, beyond the carrying away of board walks and such like, the loss was not great. The lint of dead and missing peo ple in this locality is sadly large. At last accounts tea dead bodies had been recovered. Thfy were those of Mrs. Dorothy Semple, wife of Ste phen Semple; Joseph O'Connor; Betsy Lee, Lis housekeeper; Mrs. TLropp, wife of Isaiah Thropp ; Thos. Britton and son ; a child named Ida Hunter and two whose names we Lave not learned. The body of Mrs. Semple was found on the pavement ut the Lead of Walnut street, nearlva mile from her Lome. She, Ler huaband and child were iu the house together when the danger came, and t-.he gave him the child telling him to save it. A moment afterwards Lusband and wife were separated, never to meet on earth again. An old lady named Mrs. Ferguson, ho resides in a small cottage near the Bcltzhoover Louse, about a mile from Mount Washington, was drown ed before assistance could reach her. It is said the old lady has been an in valid for two years. The dead body of an unknown woman wag found some distance up the run. Yesterday morniDg the list of casu alties was increased by the death of a widow, named Jones, who died from the effects ot the fright pro duced the preceding evening. several 01 tbe bodies were lying at the Thirty-fifth ward F.chool house, and on these Aldermen Vaughn and Martin held an inquest yesterday. A verdict in accordance with the facts was rendered. The missing, so far as ascertained, comprise Wm. Horseley, wife and two childien ; Thos. Hunter, wife and three children ; Mrs. Thomas Britton; Isaiah Thropp and five children; Frederick McVey, wife and three children; Frank" O'Neill and laughter; Geo. Jones, son and daughter. It is stated that Wm. Stephens, whose dwelling is among the de stroyed, Lad $1,150 in his hou.?e, and tbat in his Laste to escape Le left it behind, and it was involved in the geueral destruction. The trestle-work of the Little Saw Mill Run Coal Railroad, where it extended along the side of the run, and crossed it, wa9 swept away for iuite a distance, and the tunnel through the Lill about half filled with mud. At a distance of two miks from the Ohio river the water was 6ome fif teen or eighteen feet in depth, and w here the two runs meet there was about one arre of debris, consisting : of 6hanties, lumber, carts, wagons j and everything mentiouable. a wo men were seen riding m a buggy along the hill road when the storm was at its height; the buggy was seen to overturn and nothing more was seen of the men They are supposed to have been drowned. A quantity of housoLold p.x.us was wanned out of tie mouth run with such force as to be across the river. Kntan;lcd the articles were two horses, escaped alive. To our sister city, Allcghenv, so recently suffering by fire and" now more terribly Ly flood, our entire svm pathies go out With Ler own losses and the aid doe her own citizens, Pittsburgh will mill show her willing ness to extend all needful succor to those so sorely afflicted upon the north side. As will be seen by our very lull reports below. Allegheny City suffered tenfold more than our own city, both in the loss of life and of property. In both these particu lars the greater portion was in the northeastern portion of the citv the Third and Eleventh wards Iwhcre more than one Lundred Kva lost and thousands of dollars' worth of property destroyed. In the dis trict named the flood Lad full sweep through Butchers' and Spring Gar den runs, and the tale of havoc o casioned is one of the saddest in the city's history. Ia the western dis trict, about Woods' run, still further loss of life and property was sustain ed. Such a fearful calamity from the elements was never known, and all that our people can do to alleviate the suffering and care for the orphan and widow should be done. The harrow mg details of the disaster are riven below: b To attempt to describe consecu. lively all the ravages of the fiood along Butcher's Run would be a task .. uiMauce oi more than two miles the marks of devasta tion are the same. In fact, durin? the long tramp which takes the spec tator from the foot of Madison ave nue np Butcher's Run, the eye and mind betome wearied hr tLe ruonot- oi iije carried among which ony of destruction to be seen in bouses torn away from their foundations, some of them carried off and -ver-turned, and others dashed into pieces, and mingled in an unrecognizable mass of debris; in scwer3 burst and caved in; in heavy stones from the masonry of the scwcr3 and of the houses frouv the pavements of the streets; carried away as if they were chips. East street a short distance below where it opens into Madison avenue is filled by a mass of debris, consisting of an indistinguishable mixture of roofs, window casing, weather boarding, furniture and household goods. How many build ings were destroyed, and utterly torn to pieces, it is not possible as yet to tell; but some idea of the ravages may be rained by the fact tbat thia street, forty feet wide, is utterly choked up for a length of more than a hundred and fifty feet, with a pile of what were once bouses, sheds, barns and outhouses, and of which there is not a distinguishable feature save this mas3 of broken and confus ed material. This pile is at some points ten and fifteen feet in height, and the force with which it was thrown together is shown by great timbers twisted up and snapped off as if they were straws. The houses along this portion of East street were considerably dam aged and all were submerged, but none were swept from their founda tions. Further on is the buildings where the Woodville Oil orks were located, the building are swept away, and Hoevler k Cole's glue factory lie3 a complete wreck, some of it swept away, and the rest of it lying in ruins on the spot. Going on up East, street to Madison avenue and keeping on up Madison avenue, every foot of ground repeats the same mo notonous tale of devastation. Butcher's Run, a3 many of our readers know, runs in a northerly di rection frorn O'Hara street. The character of the ground is that of a narrow valley, or rather gully, from fifty to a hundred and fifty feet in width, shut in on each side by high, precipitous hills more than two hun dred feet high. Along the bottom of the same is the creek, its course follow ed by Madison avenue,which frequent lv crosses the run in its course up the I ravine for some miles. For a consid erable portion of the wav tbe run was conducted through sewers, and the entire ravine, for two miles from its opening, was closely built up with hounes fronting immediately on the street, and built up close against the hills on either side. Not a single bridge is left of the numerous structures by which Madi son avenue crossed the run. All are swept away so completely that hardly a vcsligc of them remains, and had it not been for the assurance of those acquainted with tbe locality, that at ail these places bridges were built, we should hardly have thought it possible that there were any bridges there. The work of devastation commenc ed some two miles up the run. To attempt to give an account of the property destroyed would be an al most hopeless task. Every house bears the marks of the flood, and whole blocks were swept away, hard ly leaving a foundation stone to mark the spot where they otood. The suddenness of the flood is des- scribed most graphically by those who were in its course. A few minutes after the storm commenced, word was passed from house to house that the water in the run was rising, and that the ravine might be flooded. The next minute a raging flood swept down the ravine, carrying everything before it, flooding the lower portions of the houses, destroying buildings, lifting others from their foundations, and sweeping them down the run to hopeless destruction. The proximity of many of the buildings to the hills sidc3 proved the salvation of hun dreds of people, as many who would otherwise have been drowned escap ed by their back doors and windows, climbed tbe hillsides out of reach of the storm and waited there in the terrible storm until it was over and the flood went down. The first loss of life occurred at the Louse where Henry C. Mattern and his entire fam ily were destroyed. Mr. Mattern'e family consisted of himself, his wife and two children. Mr. Mattern was a young man of twenty-four years of age, his wife was about the same age, his boy Charley was three years old and his babe Clara was six months old. A few minutes after the flood commenced a cow stable located im mediately above the house was thrown against it with such force as to tear the bouse from its foundation. As the house was being swept down the street, the father of the family was seen with a child in his arms at a window, calling for help and cry ing, "If you can't save me, save m"v children." About a hundred feet down the street, the floating house struck against the corner of a brick building, which stood fast against the flood. The floating frame structure already weakened, was dashed into pieces, and the entire family was swept awav down the run." The body of Mr. Mattern was recovered a quarter of a mile below, while those of the mother and one of the children M ere swept down to the oil works nearly a mile below. Mr. J. Carver, one of those who saw Mattern's house go to pieces, was at that time at the wiudow ot his own Louse. He says that he had been watching some barrels of hams and pork which he owned, and which he Lad stored farther up the run, float past. He saw Mattern's house go past, heard his piteous but unavailing cry for help, and saw Lis house dash ed to atoms. The next moment it occurred to Lini to seek safetv. and taking his wife be escaped with Ler to the Lill side. When the storm sub sided, and while a stream was still sweeping breast deep down the road, he waded up to where relatives of Mattern resided, and told them of the calamity. Mr. Thilip Weber, brother-in-law of Mattern, informs us that, with Lis wife, they were driven to the upper floor of "their house, not having time to escape before the lower rooms were nooced. ile savs that he expected that the house would be swept away, and told Lis wife to watch, and when the house struck a building some distance below, to jump on to the roof of that building and thence cscapo to the hillside. The house did not sweep away, and after about half an hour the flood went down. Shortly after that Mr. Carver came up through the still flooded street, and informed Mr. We ber and his father-in-law, Mr. Mat tern, ot the destruction that bad be fallen their son and brother. These incidents may, perhaps, give the reader a fant idea of the terrors of the night To describe all the in cidents, of escapes and of destruction which occurred along that fearful two miles, wnulr? fill T-ninmo t -i I J- 'Viumco. j-V bUOri uibiance below Mr. Mattern's, Mr John Winkler, Lis wife and child were drowned. Mr Winkler and Lis brother were carried away by the flood while out in the yard endeavoring to save the houses ia which some of tbe stock was housed. Mrs. Winkler remain ed in the house, and in less than five minutes afterwards the water had filled all the lower rooms. Mrs. Wink ler called for assistance, but before it could reach her the building ,rave wav. and she wa3 engulfed Still further southward was the dwelling occupied by John Shearing. As soon as the waters commenced rising Mr. Shearing moved bis fam ! ilr, consisting of his wife and twin boys, aged about four years, to tise hillside, in what was supposed to be ft place of safety. The children were sleeping soundly, but one of the lit tle fellows was aroused by the storm and rolled over an embankment into the angrv flood below. His body was recovered yesterday mornin Near the Union of Madison avenue and East street, lived a family by tbe name of Conlon, and from this house out of sir persons, one escaped alive. The names of those who were in the house were Mrs. Mary Conlon, tbe mother of the family, abeut fifty-five years of age; ber son Neil, a young man about twenty years of age, who escaped alive. Archibald Arpold, a young man who lived in the neighbor hood, who came in with Neil Conlon a few minutes before, and bad taken hp!pr nnJl the storm was over; John Tfnrln-ors twentv-two vears old; Marv Conlv. nine rears old, and Theresa Conly, eleven years old. The storv of eil Conlon, (told to us while he was still suffering from the injuries and excitement of the disaster,) is truly thrilling, and we give it as nearly as possible in his own words: "Archibald Arnold and myself had just come in, and were putting the horse ia the stable when the rain commenced. I told him toj come in to the house, and not to go borne till the rain was over. He said: "Ob, it is not going to rain much." But he came in, and when we got in the water was coming in at the front door, and wo tried to keep the water out by holding tbe door3 shut, but we couldn't So when we found that the water burst the doors open, w went up stairs, where my mother an sistier were; and while we were u there, from? from one room to an ' C3 'J other, trying to think bow to save our lives, the house was carried away and fell to pieces, I seized bold of my mother, and I saw Arnold take one of my sisters. e were swept down the street about three squares, and while I was holding on to my mother, a great log came down and struck us, and separated us. heard my mother scream and heard Arnold calling to me. Then I did not know anything, and can't remem ber what happened to me until found myself on top of the por house (Ilarbaugh t Co.'s, nearly ciuarter of a mile below), and from there I got over on the bill. We Lave found my mother s bodv and mv sister Mary and Archibald Ar nold's. My sister Theresa's body and John Rodger's have not been found yet "When I came to myself on top of the pork house I had not a stitch of clothing left on me except my shirt band around my neck. All the rest of mv clothes were gone. I think two of my ribs are broken, and 1 am very much bruised. None of our people were drowned. They were killed by the log3 and stones which were washed down tbe run. A 6hort distance below was house m wtnen there were six per sons, all of them young. The house was lifted up by the water and turn ed over on us side. All oi tne in mates, witn tne one exception, es caped through the roof to the hill side. Sarah Watson, a young girl who wa3 in an upper room, which was suddenly flooded, clung to a nail in the wall nntil that broke, when she wa3 washed to the window. Here she caught hold of the window sill and clung 'there, although the house was overturned, until the flood went down, and she was rescued. A short distance below the glue works, which were entirely destroyed, was a small dwelling, occupied bv August Rykoff and family, embracing Lis wife and two children. Tbe family were totally unware of the destruc tion which was sweeping down upon them. Tne building was carried from its foundations, and the occu pants with it. Mrs. Rykoff, bruised and bleeding, was rescued from the torrent several squares distant, but both of the children, one a little gir aged three years, named Emma, and Mary, aged one vear, were drowned The body of little Emma was found yesterday among some debris which had formed a gorge along the plank road, about three hundred yards be low the site occupied by the dwelling of the family. It is noticable that the violence of the flood, was such, that in nearly every instance in which bodies have been recovered along Madison ave nue, everv particle ot ciotnmg was stripped from their bodies. When t similar freak of the flood was narra ted in Mr. Churlcs Reade's novel. "Put Yonrself in His place," the idea was generally rejected as im probable and absurd. But the eents of Sunday night have shown that water can obtain such fearful force as to strip the bodies of its victims perfectly naked. Another peculiar! ty of a most horrible character, is that all the bodies as soon as taken from the water commenced to swell. This is probably the result of the bruises tbat were received, from tbe mass of timbers and stones, that were borne down the ravine like chips, and which porbably, as suggested above, caused the loss of lives tbat might otherwise Lave been saved. The scenes at the different points where search was beiDg made for victims of the disaster were such as to compel tears from the mo6t stoical Here a mother and daughter, clam bering over the imnrense piles of not debris, sought with tear stained faces for husband, father, son and brother; there, a strong man, with agony de picted in every lineament, turned over the wreck in the sad hope of finding the remains of wife or chil dren. The thousands who crowded to the scene seemed to feel deeply the weight of the calamity which had befallen the entire community, and not a few volunteered aid in the search for the dead. At the undertakers' shops, the doors were besieged by hundreds of people " bowed down " by weight of woe, " looked with tearful eyes at tbe rows of corpses, anxiou3 to find tbe remains of those near and dear to them, and so suddenly snatched away from life. At the establish ment of Mr. II. Herman, on East Ohio street, the bodies of the Mattern family, four in number, Miss Conlon, Augustus Bolster, son of Alderman Bolster; Mr. Rykoff and Emma, Lis little daughter; Mr. Hambright, a printer living on Ohio street ; a small boy named Sherran ; the infant child ! of Michael fctottlcr; Mr. Schtapper and Lis three daughters, and Mrs. Jacob Winkler, were prepared for sepulture. At the place of Messrs Fairman 4 Vogt, on Sandusky street, thirty Ladie3 were received and cared for, including Miss Mary Connelly, Miss McKee. Mr. and Mrs. lucus, Job Viichs. Mr. Hubbert and wife, Mr. and Mrs. Slepper, and three children Jacob Winckle, Archibald Arnold Conrad Geinzler and wife, Jacob Gloker and two children, Henry Ponckauf and one child, Henry Leo pold, wife and four children, Jacob Snappe, and two bodies, infants identified. It is stated that an elegantly at tired lady, accompanied by a little girl, took refuge from tbe rain in an nrchwar between two nouses, on O'Hara street Tbe crash came, tumbling the houses into ruins, and the water bore the bodies of the two awav. to be recovered and classed among the unclaimed and unknown 4J dead. It would require a large volume to contain the many incidents related of the flood, and it is not witnm tne range oi possioiatics 10 gainer in a single article in a daily journal It is not probable tbat the full histo ry of the great disaster will ever be written. At Wood's Run Ninth" ward, Al Iegheny, the work of destruction was also ejected to the most sorrowful ex tent Here, as elsewhere, bouses were wrecked and lives were sacri Seed. The principal part of the harm done was between tbe railroad cros sing and the point crossed by the Beaver road. About half a mile above the rail road arc the bouses of two mill hands named Patrick Farley, and Fnsby Denning. Farley seeing the danger of tbe families, succeeded m fasten ng one end of a rone to bis ... .. . . . house, and tne otner end to a tree on the hill side, and by means of this he rescued ail the membeisof both fami- ies. A short distance below Farley's house the stream takes a sudden bend and near this left its original bed and was aeuected against some small frame houses standing in the contracted valley. First was the home of John Gorman. It was lifted bodily, and crashed aginst the next house below it, that of James Forden, a laborer in Lcwit, Oliver fc Phillips mills. These two buildings were dashed from their foundations and were careening down the tide for nearly one thousand feet, bringing up with a fearful shock against V llson (fcTrimblcs store, which was forced nine feet from its site, but which still held together and arrested the progress of the two houses. Forden and his wife and three children, and Gorman and his two children were in the houses and all perished. Mrs. Gorman saved herself by poizing hold of an exposed gas pipe on the bill side, and by the aid of it clambering to n place of safety. Tbe bodies of James Forden and his wife were found first in G. B. Ecdert's yard, some distance a. ray. One of Forden's children was found south of the railroad track, and yes terday morning the bodies of two of Forden's little ones were discovered, the infant boy, about ten months of age, at the bridge, and the other little boy aged about ten year3, far out on Wilkins avenue. Those still missing are John Gorman and a little child, and Forden's two children, a boy and a irl. j James i lanigan, brother of Mrs. Forden, when he saw the flood com ing rushed into save hi3 sister, but a blow upon the head sent him head long into the torrent, and he floated some 500feet, finslly climbing out by mean3 of a tree. Luke Dillon and family, consisting of three girls and two boys, barely escaped with their lives. If! Had Leltnrt." Miscellaneous.

If 1 bad leisure 1 would repair that weak place in my fence," said a farmer. He had none, however, and while drinking cider with a neighbor the cows broke in and injured a prime piece of corn. He had leisure then to repair his fence, but it did not bring back his corn. "If I had leisure." said a wheel wright last winter, "I would alter my stovepipe, for I know it is not safe." But he did not Cnd time and when his shop got fire and burnt down he found leisure to build another "If I bad leisure," said a mechanic, "I should have my work done in season." The man thinks his time has been all occupied, but be was not at work till after sunrise; he quit work at five o'clock, smoked a cigar after dinner, and spent two hours on the street, talking nonsense with an idler. "If I had leisure," said a merchant, "I would pay more attention to my accounts and try and collect my bills more promptly." The chance is, my friend, if you had leisure you would probably pay lees attention to the matter than you do now. The thing lacking with hundreds of farmers who till the soil is not more leisure, but more resolution the spirit to do, to do now. If tbe farmer who sees his fence in a poor condition would only act ot once, how much might be saved? It would prevent breachy cattle creating quarrels among neigh bors tbat in nunv capes terminate in law-suits, which take nearly all thev! are both worth to pay the lawyers. . The fact h formers and mechanics hayc more leisure than they are i aware of for t-tudy and improvement! of their minds.

Among the articles in the first class are deli cately carved meerschaum pipes, laoe, picture frames and a remarkable cJ- lection of paintings by Kratkv. who. before he became insane, was a cele brated artist at Vienna. Theso paint ings show no sign of insanity, and one of them is a wonder fully life. like representation of the lunatics hearing mass in the chapel attached to the asylum. Jext to these speci mens of the constructive skill of the inmates are .placed hugh iron bars bent double, spoons and iron plates broken to pieces, and doors split in alf.
