I know the justice of true journalism, their integrity, and the purity of their motives. I know that they probe into men's characters. No man that is pure need fear all the presses in America, The way to be sate from so-called uewspaper attacks is to be a Christian. The reporters are the best detective force in the country.

BISHOP yS MILL PROPERTY DAMAGED TO THE EXT EST OF (3,00Q AND UPWARDS. t On Saturday night last a heavy rain mmenced falling lit this section, which continued without abatement until Tueslay. This, with a warm southerly wind, and the heavy body of snow aud ice upon the ground, caused graye apprehensions on Monday amonr our mill owners^and others who were familiar with the sudden freaks of the water courses ID this section. On Tuesday morning their worat fears were realized. Toe water bad risen to such an extent that the dam at Bish­ op's mill was taxed to its utmost ca­ pacity, and it was only by superhuman efforts it was saved from total destruc­ tion. About noon on Tuesday the dam was ^practically considered safe, but the danger then turned In Another di­ rection, The large body of water that was passing through the mill race was more than it could aland and about four o'clock it gave way with a lei*d crash, and from thac moment the work of destruction began, The race broke near the southwest corner of the mill, and the rushing waters commenced eating away the banks 011 both sides. The south foundation of the pickle factory building was washed out, and the large pickle tubs crashed through the side of the building Into the race. The race, which was originally twenty four feet wide, is now fully twice that width, and the banks on eaoh side are washed under so that much more will faltaaaoon as tbe fbost comes ouU} (This Wednesday morning th£ water has subsided, but the locality presents a desolate appearance. Mr Bishop's loss is estimated at not ?ess thaa#3000. He will Immediately put on a large force of men and repair the damages at once, and expects to be in running order again inside of three weeks. His customers will please bear this in mind. Mr. Bishop has the sympathy of all in this misfortune, but this will net recompense him for tbe great loss of property and time, / At Hanify's Mill but little serious damage was done. The water backed up. submerging the lower story, but farther than this, and tbe loss of time, th$y did not seriously suffer .J (The flats in and around McHenry were one grand Lake, but such grand sights we care not to see^seon again. Verily, water is a good servant but a bard master. * WE have beard a suggestion this forenoon that strikes us as being not only practicable, easy of accomplish­ ment. but eminently ju<t. There is scarcely a farmer within a radius of five miles from this village but has at least one or two loads of stone lying around in tbe coroac his fences. Now &r. Biseop will, in the next few days, need a large amount of stone to repair the great damage dene by the recent flood, and now are not each of you sorry enough for his great loss to bring in one or two loads of these waste stone? Let your aotion be prompt, and one hundred loads of stone will be here in three days. Who will bring the first loadf ORANOE JUDD, editor of the Prairie Farmer, published ail article recently on '"Skunks.'1 mentioning their pecu> liar habits, mode of life, etc., and said: "There is an excellent lesson in this. Skunks are very numerous in all ranks of society and business, ready on the slightest provocation, often without any but from an "lnate cussedness," to fill the atmosphere with their offensive odors. Tbe more attention you give them, the greater and viler are their effusions, until they haye exhausted themselves, or become suffocated in their own noxious perfumes.
