ON account of the break in the rail­ road, and consequently no mails since Monday night, we ar<> obliged to go to press without our regular Greenwood letter and election news from Rich­ mond which we expected. How many more times our mails are to be blocked this season the Lord only knows*--and He won't tell. FOR the past two days almost every­ thing that would float has been coming down the river. Fence rails, boards, plank, hay stacks, hog pens, &c. One party on the bridge saw a pump In the river and immediately got a boat and went out to see if the well had come down too. Should the waier co ne up much more a few enterprising citizens contemplate floating down Cedar Is­ land and anchoring it near the bridge. THAT there is something wrong with cur Railroad management is evident, and now the question is who is to blame? While there Is a bridge near Algonquin that is impassible, there i an engine aud cars on tliis end of the road that could run on time betwee Geneva Lake and Crystal I.ake. an< thereby accommodate travel to Chica­ go. It would see in "to a eiau up a tree" that bad management or pure cussedness can be tlie only cause for the ma:iuer lu which patrons on this end of the road>re being used CORPOKATION BI.KOTION. The election ou Tuesday In this vile lage for three trustees and one clerk, was decidedly a tame affair, although there were three tickets in the field. Our business men seem to have lost all interest as to how our village matters are conducted, and the result is the elections go b}' default. It is a lamen­ table fact but nevertheless true. The following is the ticket ejected, the can­ didate for Clerk having no opposition: Truztee*--William Sclireiner, Antony Weber, Frits Block. Clerk--H. H. Nicholl. There were only one hundred and seventeen votes polled. THO MKW CHKKBK rACTOKIKS. Work on the uew Cheese Factory of J.

The Masons are on the ground at work en the foundation, aud the lumber is expected to be here the pres­ ent week, when a large force of work­ men will be immediately put on. We •hall, before our next, get time to look it over and give our readers such notes as may be uf interest to them. The workmen have commenced dig­ ging preparatory to laying the foun­ dation of Dorati A Poole's Factory, South of Bishop's Mill. The frame work for this building is nearly all ready iu the shop, and as soon as the foundation is laid the building will go up with a rush. The back water from the river has interfered somewhat with their drains, but this will be only tempofary, and tho work will go on at ouce. THE Woodstock Democrat has the following "A very sad aftalr occurred in the town of Hartland on Saturday morning last, by which doubtless another home will miss the gentle ways of \ kind and indulgent mother and wife. We have reference to the shooting of Mrs J. C. Hal lacy. It ap­ pears that for gome time past tliatlady has been ailing and at times was some­ what delirious, aud in one of those moods left her bed iu the absence of the watchers, went to the bureau draw­ er. secured a weapon and shot herself, the ball entering the heaa just back of the ear with an upward direction, through the brain. Medical aid was immediately called, aud all possible help giveu the invalid. At this writ­ ing she is thought to be a little better, but probably !t is from the fact that mortificatiou has set iu although it may be, and we trust It Is, a general improvement. She admits the shoot­ ing. but will assign no reason for the act." How any person, with a ball "through the 6rat»," oau be iua condi­ tion to converse rationally, is one of the mysteries that we would like to hear explained.

NICHOLS. The Freshet. On Saturday last the Kiverbeglm to rise; and by Sunday a big freshet seem­ ed inevitable. Precautionary meas­ ures were taken with the Mill dams, and by constant watching they havo been able to save them thus far. At the time of writing, Tuesday, the old­ est lnhabitaiAsMf>thi8 town say they never saw Fox 'River as high at this point as now, and still It Is raising ev­ ery hour. The flats adjacent to tho creek which leads from the Mill Pond is one gigantic lake, and the water is pouring over the dam at a fearful rate. Should it'Contlnue to rise In the river for the next twenty-four hours as fast as it has in the past, a great amount of damage must be doue along the bauks, and with the large snow drifts still re" mainlng many fear the worst. In other parts of the county we hear of considerable damage being done.-- Tho Mill dam at Greenwood, on the Nippersing, went out on Monday, car­ rying with it the covered bridge at that place, but a« our Greenwood corres­ pondence has failed to reach as we vhave no particulars. The Railroad Bridge at Algonquin was nearly washed away, so much so that trains are unable to pass over it, consequently our mails, express, «fce., U all behind. A small bridge on the railroad be­ tween C.irpentervllle and Dundee was carried away on Monday night. Tha iron bridge at Duudee, which was damaged a short time since by a runaway team, and which was being repaired, was entirely swept iuto the river on Monday evening. No doubt a large amount of damage was dor*e along the river of which we have not yet lienrd. Taken all in all no such freshet was ever before known in the history of Fox River. LATER. This Wednesday morning the River Is still rising, being full thirteen inches higher than twenty-four houra ago.-- Men whOitave resided here over torty years say they never saw the like be­ fore. Rurpors of damages by the flood teach us froin all quarters, but as no trains are running, aud consequently no mails, we can get no particulars.aud nothing reliable. A rumor reached us yesterday that the highway bridge,over the river at Algonquin, had been swept away, aud that the Ice had done great damage to the River Mills, at that place. How true this is we know not. Î The Joluisburgh bridge, three miles above here, is also said to be in a shaky condition, and is liable to be washed away any minute. Every small stream hat assumed the proportions of a Lake, aud the end is not yet. ,By next week we hope to be able to gather reliable Information, and report the amount of damage that has really been done.

Fulfilling liis engagement with Mr, Ames he settled for a few years at .lauesville. whence lie removed to Mc­ Henry about two years ago aud com­ menced blacksinithiog again. On his birthday, four months and eight days before his death he was taken ^slck with an acute pleuro-pneumo»ia, the sequel of which was the acute phthisis ol* which he died, lie was turied with masonic honors, Mr. Clifton** circle of friends and acquaintances was very large, and we have yet to learn of an acquaintance who did uot like and re«pect him. He was a large souied, open hearted, gen­ erous spirit, true to his friends and courteous to ail he met. With him friendship wa* more than a mere name, bu*. a living, undying principle. When he grasped your hand, his heart went with it. In his family, he was a loving and indulgent husband and fath­ er to the wtfe and one daughter who survive to mourn him Their sorrow words of sympathy can hardly lessen, though a host of tongues are ready to oiler tliein, but there is comiort to them i>i the faith that upbore him iu all his sufferings--a faith in • happy reunion hereafter. His creed hinged on justice to man. and faith in God's eternal tone toward His creatures. Death had no terrors to him,as he has repeatedly assured the writer.

Mr. Rice is a first class dentist and his business is growing rapidly. The marriage of Mr. Wm.

The Herald mentions the fact that the Rev. H. D. L. Webster, author of the song. "Lorena." ti>Kiug advantage of his wife's temporary absence from home.had.as it were, "silently folded his tent and stole away." We mention tiie unhappy circumstance not for the purpose of giving publicity to a scan­ dal. but to correct the statement that H D. L. Webster Is a brother of J. P. Webster, the composer of the song. "Lorena," as well as the "Sweet By- and-By,"and a thousand other fcetns of song. The two men were In ho way related by blood. Both men resided for a time at Elkliorn at the same time the writer did, and a community of musical taste made them quite inti­ mate. H, D. L. Webster is a poet of no mean ability; but after all ths world is more Indebted to J. P. Web­ ster for "Lorena" than to the author. As originally written It was not In­ tended for a song. but for a magazine article, and eras en­ titled "Bertha." J. P. Webster saw It iu manuscript and at once conceived thtHdea tjtat a song might- be made of it by altering ft somewhat. He took It, remodeled it. gave it tlie nam* "Lorena. and composed fbr it pne of the sweetest melodies ever bom of human genius. .There Is a heart his­ tory in the music, a history given us by the lips of the immortal J.
