The greatest disaster that ever befell Little Kanawha valley come In tlie shnpe of ter rible cloud-burst, which completely flooded the country, destroying ninny lives, carry ing off thousands of dollars in pnrty and raining the crops for ninny miles around rarkerebnrg, W. Va. The ('e'uge fell about dusk, and rain continued to fall in torrenti all night, doing much damage to the city. The worst of the rtorm struck the lower lide of the Kanawha valley, lillingthe small Stream from bunk to bank, and ending in the worst flood within the recollection of the ouleat inhabitants. In three hours the Ktnnwha raise I s! feet, and ran out with such velocity that it carried everything before it. At I'arkers burg thousands of logs ami a number of boats went out or weru sunk. The little Knnnwha Lumber Company lost 2,000 logs; the Wet Mill, ten rafts: Rarringcr, several fiect.s; W. 1'. I'uddcii, five barges tit's, Several of which were rmiLilit below. Keever & Co. lost four bargi of coal which were wrecked against the Ohio railroad bridge. Miller, three rafts and 2,ooo tics.

The Little Tygart is also reported completely ruined. Heiitberingtou's store, Cupt. Silen cer's residence, C. I'. Cooper's residence and that of J. W. Smith were completely demol ished. The worst story of all comes from Morris town, a small village near the head of Tuck er creek, where a cloud burst about midnight and totally destroyed it together with many of its people. The first report gave the loss at eleven, but later news seems to tlx the loss at a greater number. The houses of the citizens arc said to have been picked up and liurled against each other in such a Miort space of time that no chance to cscae was given to the people. Among those lost at Morristown are .take Kiger, his brothers Joseph and Thomas, a man nnmel Itailey, Orville West, his wife and child.

GENERAL JOTTINGS. HOME AND rOBXIQH. A r.LsKiivoin or tiik onto canal oivls wat AND VVIIU KS A VILI.V.K. One of the most disastrous storms ever known in the Hocking Vulley culminated in the breaking of Sharp's dam, at Sugar (irove, on the Hocking Cunul. The dam held in store a large body of water that sup plied the lower levels of the canal. Tho heavy rains had tilled tho reservoir to tho banks, when, suddenly, tho dam gave way, and with a mighty rour thssea of water went out through the vulley, taking with it every movable object. Tor 20 mill's the soil is ploughed up. Trees, fences, crops and hun dreds of head of live stock have been swept awny. No lives were lost, because the js-o- iile had taken warning and bemuse the houseware situated on the bluff that over looks the vallcv. ittit tltu canal for miles is a wreck and thousands effect of railroad truck are washed away. At Athens the Cincinnati, Washington and Ihtltiuiore and Hocking Vulley Railroad tracks are curried uvvay, nnd trains will be delayed several days. RoiuIh and bridges are annihilated, and the whole valley for miles looks like a dry water course. Competent judges place the loss in tho hundreds of thousands. I'.URS El) TO DEATH.

The buffalo fly lint ipieared in Monmouth county, N. J., and the farmers have lust many head of cattle by It. Tho lly is smull and of a bluck color. Its method of itttuck is for tho fenialo lly to bore into the llesh ut the base of the horns md deposit her eggs, and when the grub hatches It penetrates the bead ut the buse of the horns und also works through the horns. The animal thus llllicted shakes its head and endeavors to teratch the top of its bead with its hind hoofs. While the grub Is growing the ani mal becomes crazy and butts its heud gainst fences, which results oftentimes in the breuking olf of its horns. There Is no sure for the animal after tho lly bus onus deposited its eggs. The most effective way 'a keep the flies off the cattle is to daus the base of the horns with wood or coal tar.

The mines arc very wet and the miners had their clothes con stantly soaked. Often the air is insufficient and bad. The complaints from Ilracevllle and Strea tor were not so great. Miners wages average only t'27 to MO a month, with deductions foriwwder, repairing, tools, etc., of several dollars each month. L.

From all parts of the cjuntry, aim, onto reports that an active and prosperous fall trade it anticipated, and the crop prospects continue favorable. But the financial outlook It rendered uncertain by the continued exporti of gold, the liquidation uf foreign holders ol securities and the doubts about trust opera tions. Secretary Windom has talked witi some free-lorn regarding the purchases o bonds, hut stated that prices now paid are at high as he thinks the government ought to pty. He consider, that tho monetary sup ply Is at preicnt ample. The treasury bai paid out during the post week 12,000,001 more than it hits taken In. Trade is improving at Pittsburgh.

Tlie Farmrrtf Jtrview says: The majority of our crop corresHindeiits report an excess of rain during the past w eek, w hich has in terfered considerable with the harvesting of wheat and inclined oats to rust and lodge. The great present need is dry hot w eather to bring corn forwau and enable the farmerr to cut and harvest grain crops. The prospects for potatoes a -e very flutter lug in all the States covered by our retiorts. save in Minnesota and Dakota, and even In thut section the crop promises to be a fuir one. In most of the other Status she present condition is considerably above the average. Cum prospect continue good in Missouri, Nebraska, Kansas and Iowa. Tho crop has devclojied considerably iu Wisconsin, Min nesota and Dakota under recent moist hot weuther. (juitu a fulling off is noticeable in thu reports from Ohio und Kentucky, how ever. In Illinois and Indiana the present uutlook is fuir. Oil the whole tho present lituutiuu is rutlier critical. If cold wet weath er prevails during the next fifteen days the result will be disastrous in many fields al ready saturated with moisture. With hot dry weather during that time tho result would probably be ubove the uvcrugu. The condition of spring wheat continues good iu Iowa and Nebraska und fair in Wis sonsin. The crop bus Improved since the last report in Minnesota, b .t reports are far front-encouraging. Dakota correspondents report a still further decline iu condition, with prospects of only hulf a crop. A general decline is noticeable in the cor, ilitioti of tho oat crop in Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Michigan and Wisconsin and Kansas, due to tlie excessively wet weuther. In Kau nas many correspondents report serious dum age from rust, but whether it will materially affect the yield for tho whole State, it is yet too early to determine. In Kentucky, Iowa, Nebraska, Miuuesota nnd Dukotu the condi tion has improved slightly since last reports. In Dakota, however, it is to j lato to restore even a fair average and the crop there will probubly be utmost a failure. A. L. Mohler, Assistant GJiierul Munagei of the Munit ba Railroad, bus just com pleted a thorough personal examination of tho wheat crop along the lines of the Mani toba system, and has prepared a concise summary of the results of liis investigations. He predicti) that Ihe country tributury to tbe Mauitaba lines will furnish for ship ment at least 3L',X)3,0O0 bushels of wheut. This estimate, he says, is confirmed by Chi cago ex iter! who have been recently cover ing the tame territory independent of him-elf. Dr.rtTV KiLt.niiM Oklahoma.
