cepting tbe months at July, Auguat and
tbe first fca XX Septehioer, compauiea, tbat
attempt to bridge tbe river on trestle-works
incur great risk to tbeir enterprise by flood.
Tbe winter flood are hardlv ever more than
gone tiH wtit comes tbe June flood, and
tbe to warm month of summer arc scarce-
ly ended till the tquinox flood sends down
ita torrents, and thus it u easily understood
that builders take no comuiou riks when
they attempt to bridge the river at any time
ficepting in the tiiue doi uated above.
It is an uncommon occurrence for a Hood
of any volume to take place in the months
.l July and Auguttt and the fiist halt of
Scj.temtw-r. The bviliiers this year have
tieen unfortunate enough to be caught by
the June flood at such a stage of tbe work
that .damage of eight hundred dollars has

trestle-work bad been put across to con
nect the two spans tbat were not swept
away by the ice Hood iu February, aud
though tbe river gradually rose higher all j
last week no apprehension was felt until
last Thurday nioruiug, wbon the ui.magc
luent deemed it prudent to put more weight
on t'ie structure to keep it down so that it
might rot float away. M-u weie hatily
gathered and employed to put stones on the
trestle-work. The stones were witidlasscd
from the ice-breaker attached to tbe pier i
nearest Ibis side of the river. As raridlv
the stones were hoisted ud unto tbe foot-
way they were taken on " lumber trucks '
and run out and distributed along the toot
ay that was built across the river on the
trestle's. Tbat work was kept up until it
was thought that sutlicicnt weight had been
put on to keep the timbers securely down
till the river had become bank full. Slowly
the river kept on rising, and toward the
close of the day drift began to run, and
then the faces ol the proprietors ami all the
well-whers A tie concern took a decided
ly earnest expression, for it was clearly to
tie uuderstood that the new structure could
not stand the iiresture of the combined
force of drill and twelve feet of water run
ning 4nwn a grade of four feet to tbe mile.
During tbe earlier part of the day Sa.uuel
Wilson had been a conspicuous figure w ith
a long pike pole in hand, n the very out- r
edge of the upper side of the trestles, lo
dislodge drift tbat might catch on the tim
bers. Many predicted that he would lose
his balance aud fall into the Miram and be
rlrowned. but be Hved thtoufrh it all. To
wards evening a large pine log came down
tbe river along the Mittliu side of the Isl.-.irl.
As it n eared the bridge the spectators he'd
their breath in suspense. A deep silence
tell upon the crowd until the contact came.
Tbe log struck a post, whirled around and
lodged sidewise against two posts. A
brace or two were sprung off from the tim
bers, and that was ail the damage the struc
ture received frcm rhe contact. '(iood, for
the brHge to stand such a shock,1 was the
verdict of tbe spectators, and tbe hope ei all
grew stror.ger, that peihaps the concern
vould stand a stronger pressure Urn a was
thought of. About that time sutue one
came along and said, "The river is clear of
drift between this place and Lewu-town, but
between Lewistown and McVeytown there
are lots of heavy drift." A calculation
was speedily made, and tbe conclusion
reached that it would take till midnight for
the heavy drift to reach this place, and
earnest hope were expressed tbat the drift
might be bo worked by the current to
tbe Bide of the river that it would pass
under one or tbe other of the spans that
had been left standing by the February
Hood. Meanwhile Mr. Bachelor, tbe
foreman of the contractor, was busy
planning to have the large log, mentioned
above, removed from its menacing position.
2amuel Wilson and Georgj Smith under
took to put a noose over the end of th
submerged log, and their efforts to do bo
were successful. The runuing knot was got
over the end of the log, aud the rope was
attached to the pulleys and the windlass up
on the bridge, aud an effort was nisde to
pull the log away ; but there wa not power
enough to remove it. By this time a great
crowd had collected on both the Patterson
and Mifllintown sides of the river, to wit
ness the efforts to remove the log many
ladiee were present. In such a crowd there
was no " lack " of advice ; every second
nan w as f ull of it, and eager to tell just
what to do, but nothing that was offered
seemed feasible, till Kobert Parknr suggest
ed that a party be sent out in a tootlvnt
with cross-cut saw, to saw the log in two
pieces. It was just the thing to do. Wm.
McCoy and John Bender volunteered to
so in a skirl to the log and saw it in two
pieces. The obstruction waa approached
Irom the npper side. The skin was so
managed by rowing that it gently floated
down and was lodg-d so tbat operations
with the saw could be commenced. Tbe
rush of water and the general surroundings
ki impressed the mind of Bender that be
grasped hold of the leg of a trestle and
chmb.d np to the top. McCoy stuck to the
boat and began to saw the log. When it
became apparent that McCoy had the boat
saff ly moored Moses Fannebaker slid down
the leg of the trestle to help to saw. Of
course they did not fall out, as the two
Irishmc n did tbat Went out to saw ice, as to
which one should go on the under side,
rannebaker held the boat, and McCoy did
the sawing. The log wait finally sawed
through, and the two ends floated away, and
f iervbody breathed freer. The crowd, or
the great bulk of it, dispersed. Wilson,
S nith, and James Parker kept up the watch
into the night. The drift ran thicker as
midnight approached. About 11 o'clock
some heavy ohjwt over near the Patterson
side srmck a trestle, and shook the w hole
fabric. When it was manifest that it would
not go that time Wilson and Prmih ven
tured on a tour of observation. Parker re
mained on this sid. The two men moved
cautiously over the works. When near the
other side they discovered that a large tree
bad lodged with its roots against the leg of
trestle; iu limbs projected np stream.
Other drift was gathered into the limbs as
if into so many arms. The whole struc
ture was trembling nnder a vibratory swing
ing motion op and down the river. The

A Letter from .Nebraska.
T,ie following letter was written by Har
j ry Moore, of Van Wert, to Sheriff J K.
! Kelly:
Stkrli.vo, Jonxsox Coi tt,
Nebraska, June I, I.
Mb. J. R. Kellv Aftitr t-iking brisk
drive in the country, and viewing Several
herds of cattle, I will undertake to fu)till
my promise to you.
A few years ago the savage native Amer
ican , and great herds of buffalo roamed
here in lar.e numbers. Following them
came the honorably -discharged soldier, and
"lucr "T peor, as emigrant settlers
! from the et uk their place. Tclve
years ago there was not a house to be seen
here, but now there are several hundred in
habitants in this tuwn of Sterling. True to
its name, tbey are all on a stir. Encour
aged by jirosjierity, they soon came to the
conclusion tbat tiiis is the place to make a
fortune quickly and easily. There are no
lazy people here, but, on the contrary,
every man is alive to his own interest, and
alse to that of his neighbor, so as to en
courage emigration. Town lota and land
are raising in price every day. The people
are kiud, obliging aud honest, and spare no
Fains in 'S e Pennsylvauian around,
aud giving him a hearty welcome. The
niost of the people here are from Pennsyl
vania. Their habits and customs are the
same as among the same people in the east.
The same Hymnal is used in the Presbyte
rian church ; the same books are Used in
tbe Sabbath-school ; they whistle the very
same song on the street and in the fields.
Decoration day was observed here. A
largo concourse of people collocted to wit
ness the ceremonies of Post 62, U. A. K.
Not one drunk man was seen that day, which
is owing to the fact that liquor is sold only
by druggists on prescription. The spring
is late ; farmers are planting corn ; wheat
aud oats look very well.
One reason why Johnson and tiage coun
ties are preferable places to locate in, is on
uccount of the depth aud quality of soil,
and its being abundantly watered. Springs
and creeks abound in almost every section.
Tbe creeks are deep, which accounts for
tbem never overflowing, as in many other
localities. Lands along this railroad, from
Atchison to Lincoln, called the A. and N.
li. R. U., which were bought ten years ago
at from 7-3 cents to $ j per acre, are now
worth $S to ') per acre. All of it will
yield 10U to 100 b-ishels of corn per acre.
They farm it every year. There are many
thousand bushels of corn in cribs, and more
is yet mihiskcd in tbeficlds. Corn is worth
25 cent? Jht bushel for the best. It is no
uncommon thhig for a farmer to have l'W to
31 MJ hogs and 60 to M Ilea 1 of cattle. The
cattle can be put out to a fccHcr It a cost of
one dollar per bead for the sUmvner. They
are kept fat all the time. Many cattle per
ished last winter for want of fhelter. The
winter, like with us, was colder and pro
duced a deeper fall of snow than is usually
tbe case. Han est comes in July and Au
gust. After that tbey cut and stack the
prairie grass, at an expense of fifty cents
per ton ; consequently the man that gees
into the lire stock business can realize a
large profit on the money invested. Hogs
are worth 5 cents per JWBtlTl, and beef o
cents per pound. Many hundred head of
both caltle at'd bogs are shipped feast.
Wheat is worth 75 cts. per bushel ; corn,
20 cts., as it runs j oats. 25 cts.; rye, 50
cts. ; flax, 8 to 10 cts. per pound ; butter, 8
to !0 cts. per pound. It is astonishing that
such great crops grow from such poor farm
ing. To-morrow I expect to go to see a
herd of ten thousand cattle.
The people here have good habits j they
are moral and cultured. The culture of
music is closely attended to. There are
more musical instruments in use in tbe
couutry than in Juniata country districts.
As to single life, the ladles here marry at
lti years of age ; at 20 tbey are called old
maids. I find quite a large number of bach
elors; of couree they have my sympathy.
I have promised to ship a car load of lad ies
from the east, so you may expect a matri
monial recruiting office open in Mifllintown
alter tuy return to Juniata. Ladies tbat de
sire to be recruited must have the. requisite
qualities to meet western life.
While out on a drive the other day tbe
horses were baited in front of an elevation
on the plain, w hen out of the ground popped
two young girls. Alter a short chat we
were invited into a "sod house," and to our
astoiiishmeut found an organ there. Ve
spent a lively half hour with the family.
Yours iu baste,
W. H. MOURE.
The Everett Vcjs of June 7th Inst.. say :
McDonald Lyon, a former resident of Bed
lord, died iu Denver, Colorado, recently,
from the effects of an overdose of mor
phine which was administered to him by a
woman with whom he had eloped from
Chicago. It is stated that the poisoning
was accidental. ' Mac " was a son of the
late William Lyon, Esq., and was engaged
with his brother in the insurance business
in Chicago. The woman who was the cause
of his death was the divorced wife of the
partner of the deceased' brother.
The Bedford Republican says: "George
Uershberger, of Snake Spring, went out to
a field to plow about ten days ago, and be
fore beginning h tied his two fine, large
horses to a locust tree. They ate some of
the bark ol the tree and became so sick
that Mr. Uershberger was afraid they would
die. First one of them and then the other
got the blind staggers, aud for more than a
week they could not be worked. He has no
doubt that his horses were poisoned by the
locust bark that they ate." j

It was this: "Trust in God and keep

The reports of the Illinois wheat crop are
unfavorable. In the southern division of
the State fully 16 per cent, of tlio wheat
has been plowed up, and that left standing
will not yield a half crop. In the central

still ; 40 p?t cent, has been plowed up, and
what is let t. un plowed will scarcely yield a
ball crop. In the northern division of tbe
State the prospects are poorer still ; 57 per

Some of the most outrageous acts are

Union reporter yesterday the prisoner said :
" It all comes of carrying a pistol. I have
carried one for six years. IT t had a hoy
who carried one I would break bis neck."
The prisoner said his mother overheard the
murdered man saying tbat she wanted his
father to die, so she could get $5,000 in
surance on his life. The prisoner asked
him if he said so. Ite raid he did. The
prisoner threatened to kill him If the re

pursued and struck him, and the prisoner
then fired the fatal shut.
The Northern description of the costume
in which JetT Davis sought to escape from
bis captors was tbat he was robed in his

IIo confesses to it that it was several pieces
of his wife's app3rcl, but he does not con
fess to the petticoat as being part of tbe
disguise. He says : "As it was quite dark
in my tent I picked np what was supposed
to be my raglan,' a waterproof light over
coat, without sleeves ; it was subsequently
found to be my wife's, so very like my own
aa to bo mistaken for it j as I started my
wife thoughtfully threw over my head and
shoulders a shawl. I bad gone perhaps fif
teen or twenty yards when a trooper gal
loped np and ordered me to bait and sur
render, to which I gave a defiant answer,
and, dropping the shawl snd raglan from
my shoulders, advanced toward him. He
levelled his carbine at me, but I expected,
it ho fired, he would miss me, and my in
tention was, In that event, to put my hand
under his foot, tumble Lite off on the other
side, frinj into bis saddle and attempt to
escape. My wife, who had been watching,
when sbe saw the soldier aim his carbine at
me, ran forward and threw her arms around
me. Success depended on instantaneous
action, and recognizing that the opportuni
ty bad been lost, I turned back."

A gentleman of this comity, who has
been to Millers, ille Normal School, siys
that most of ths trouble there arises from
the rules of the faculty against nialo slu-l
dents associating with the lady students of !
the institution. Boys are not allowed to
stop aud speak to the girls on the campus,
on the sidewalks, or anywhere else about
tbe plaee. And so particular his the man
agement been that students have been com
pelled to forego the pleasure of talking to
tbeir sisters and aunts on the College cam
pus. From this information it then ap
pears lhat t'ie cause of tho trouble at Mil
lersville is a primary cause of trouble it is
woman, !io si'u'xe of all our joys and sor
rows. K''r..emlHT Eve in the Garden of
Eden. When will the race ever escape
from first causei t If Eve h:ul obeyed thj
rules lucre r. o"'-i have been no trouble.
