From all nosounts the main stroams
of this H3 3tljn ot the country, as well as
tho smaller sourcos of water supply
were narer bo low ai at pressnt. It is
not only tho fact that the brooks, wells
and pnag-jhiraibojw bive practtailly
run dry that excita apprehension, but
that principal rivers, like tho Delaware
and Susquehanna, have at many points
reached record low water. All along
thi Wayne county border wa are told
that the Delawaro is uaprecedentedly
low, and substantially the same story
copies from Port Jervis, Stroudsburg,
Etston and alt other places noarer tide
water. "At Port Jervis," says thoGi
zetto, "the river is the lowest in 17
yoars." Tho Sparrowbush correspond
ent ot the Sims paper says: "People are
driving miles to gaza upon the Dela
ware at its lowest rocorded notch. One
89-year-oldor, who has known the river
for 70 years, saw it yesterday. As ho
looked at It bo smilod and showed his
teoth and said: "Tho old river's got mo
boat 1" Zidok Decker, ot Stroudsburg,
who has spent the greater part of his life
along tbo Dataware river, says that the
ntroam is two inchos lower now than be
has ever seen it. Keports from places
up tho rivor and from Belvidere and
below are all to tho same effect. A
short distance above Harrisburg the
Susquehanna river Is slightly below tbo
lowest mark, which was cut in a rock
in 1803. Some distance below, in York
county, the river is a little abovo tbe
mark of 1803 -tho lowest on record. At

According to tho canons of fashion
and taste, it is in as bad form to wear a

rushing it, and in the citios those who
offend muBt be prepared to take the con
sequences. Woe has befallen the man
who has bad the temerity to appear in
Wall street with the out-of-date head
covering since Tuesday last, and as a
consequence Panamas and their kindred
have taken to tbe hat-box as their fel
low-hibernators, the woodchuck and
b;ar, will shortly seek their winter
quarters. Honesdale is not as yet suffici
ently up to date to respond as promptly
