Almost every day for a month there iiaa been a fall of rain which has ren dered the roads impassable and thor oughly saturated the ground. A heavy . fall of snow followed but disappeared ' : rapidly under the heavy warm rain of .Friday night aud Saturday. The gnlehfS or valleys in the hills are from a few hundred feet to probably a quar trr of a mile wide. Deadwood la sit uated at the junction of Whitewood : and Deadwooti, gulches, and numerous other gulcnes emptied -their accumu lating water from the. mountains into these two maid Kulche&l makinga vol ume of water that rushed down Whitc wood with resisiless force. Central City, Anchor City and Golden Gate are on Deak wood gulch, a bo re Deadwood City. The greater portion of Central City was above the flood, but for An chor City and Goldfish there was no' escape, the gulch there being not over COO feet wide. Pennington is entirely gone. -The valley is flooded and half of .- f pear fish s washed away. Croon City ia nearly all gone. . The water is now falling, though there is much snow in ; the mountaius yet. - George Chandler and wife and two unknown men are ' known to have been drowned. Hope and basket communication has been established between the two parts - ' of the city. The main residential por ' : tion ofDrad wood rs from too to 8u0 feet " above gulch and the main business por tion Is also above the danger line.

The Siraace aad Attractive TraiU of ! --- - . the Scotck Caalaea. - , Amnawlek (Ua.) Appea . ' .-" : Our readers have dobtles since child'' ' ; Hood heard of the Scotch sheiherddogs c t.i and their wonderful sagacity,. tlniost ; . I :. 'amounting to reason) but few ottHem, ' 'probably, are aware that these fdvgs bave been introduced and are now being used in their favorite work of keeping eheep, within, a hundred miles of this ' 'place. Mr. Walter T. McArthor, of - , Montgomery county, who is probably one . of the largest sheep owners in Georgia, has for several years had two . of these dogs, whicb.during that period, have served him well and faithfully in : the care of his flocks. They are so very intelligent that at any time they can be . trusted to either watch their charge or to drive them -to or from pasture, no matter, what, may be the distance or nature of the way, a command from . . their master being all that is necessary '-"jtQSecnre'otnpt obedience. The sheep . composing Mr. .Mc Arthur's fl ck were purchased from si vera! different per sons, and each particu!arlot naturally remain together and rather separated from the others, each of these bunches being designated by tne name or tne party from whom they were purchased. These d6gcan, nt any time, be sent far into the woods for a specified bunch, it only being necessary to give" its name, thus: "The McCloud sheep," or "the - ' If ash sheep " and a failure on their part t:.i"o bring the proper lot, not one being vt - missing, ia reckoned among the phe nomenal occurrences. As a matter of course, these dogs are of immense ser 'r vice to their owner, and the gentleman r who gave ua these facta says hedoesnX -.Relieve .that - lfiao aaeh , weuld buy , . .' them. So strong is the instinct in these .logs to watch and keep together all animals of a kind,that three puppies - . of the above mentioned dogs find their . chief enjoyment in driving all the poul try of the yard into some clear space and keeping them for hours, regardless - - - of the fact that not one particle of food can there be obtained by the imprison-; ed fowls. On this account it is necessa--- ry to keep these enterprising pups shut "- no. One of this species Is owned in this city Mr. J. K. Nightengale. These facts were given ns by a gen tleman of this city of undoubted verac ity, who affirms that he has often seen these intelligent brutes go through the performances above alluded to.

A pleaaanter day for the celebration could ; scarcely have bees' desired. The air w as cool, and bracing, and heavy banks of clouds gave protection from the rays of the sun. and made It just about nlghtgso far as the weather was concerned, for the. exercises of the day' The streets began to fill op about nine o'clock, and it was soon apparent that we were to have a larger crowd than was anticipated. An excursion train of six coaches from Columblaand one of three from States vllle. emptied crowds of visitors into the city about ten o'clock, and vehicles were rolling in from all directions 'all morning. , The number, of . visitors at the lowest estimate was' put at about 8.000. At one o'clock the procession began to form, and at two it was ready to move. Capt. Jno. R. Erwin, the chief marshal, waa in command, and brought put the procession In fine style. Happy McSmltb, as drum major, led the band, and then came the mayor and officers of the fire department in carriages, fol lowed in successive order by the Hor nets, Pioneers, the Firemen's Pet, Ken drick Hose Company No. 4. and Inde pendent .Hook and Ladder Company. The Charlotte Bicycle Club. 20 strong, handsomely uniformed, and mounted on their glittering machines, were at the head of the whole, and were a very attractive feature of the procession. Miss Bertha Eagle, the firemen's pet, made a very pretty pioture in her rose embowered chariot. After parading the several streets, the procession drew up in Independence Square, where it was disbanded. . - . The chief event of the day, the fire men's tournament, commenced at five o'clock. The course, extending from Butler's jewelry store to the Buford House plug, waa lined on each side ten or twelve deep Its entire length, while the house-tope and windows held their full quota of people. It seemed like everybody lu the city was bent on .see ing the race, and fully as much Interest was manifested In the result aa there was on the occasion of the races last year.' The different companies were clad In running costumes and made a fine ahowand as they were paraded out to take their places far the race, our citizens could not help but have a feel ing of pride over the handsome body of firemen. Tne Pioneers took the first run. each company's turn being decided by lor. As the red black fell the Pion eers started off in splendid style, and made the ping in the quick time of S2J seconds. A bursted hose lost them the pnz. They were followed by the In dependents aI the Hornets, and the following judgea: is the time marked ; by the i To water, .none ! COM t SO Pioneer Independent Hornet The Independents were declared the winners and the ahouta of the crowd rent the air. Immediately after the In dependents ran, the Kendrick Hose Company No. 4 took the course for their race for $30 prize offered by Mr. J. M. Kendrick for the best time of tha day. The youngsters jerked their reel over ground from the drop of the block at s rate that astonished and mads a re markably good run. They reached the plug in 52)4 seconds and threw water in SO seconds, beating the best time made by the companies of the regular fire de partment. The young firemen's victory was received with shouts of joy and en thusiasm by the crowd. J : After the races CoL A. M. Waddell presented the several prizes to the win ners in appropriate. remarks.! To the Independents, the champions4 of the day, he presented the cash prize of $25 offered bythe fire department,; and the silver trumpet offered by Chief Harri son. .To the Kendrick Hose Company, he presented the cash prize of $59 offer ed by Mr, J.M..

The Inde pendents had not mads a mn with a reel or practiced aaingle time in pre paration for the yace and , they .have cause, to be jubilant oyer their success. , The most . amusing feature of the evening was Joe Fischesaer s bag race which, was run from Independence Square to the "Buford House. ; The par ticipants enveloped to their! necks in bags presented a most comical appear ance.

Their attention was attracted by a swarm of flits on a plank that was floating ' do wn the stream and out of curiosity they invest tigated to find the cause. One end of the plank was under a log, and when they pulled it out, a swollen discolored corpse shot up out of the water before their , horrified gaze! From the appearance of the corpse, it must have been In the water for a.considerable length of time, probably a month.' De composition had so far advanced that It was only Identified as a white man's' corpse by the shape of the foot.'

Nobody in that section of the country is known to be missing, and it thought that the body found is that of one of the Gypsy fortunetel lers, who spent . sometime in Robeson last March.

The first and most serious row oe erued between Abner Farrow and Jno. Ardrey, both colored, at the Lincolnton depot. Ardrey was aroused with a club with which he belabored Farrow over the head in a savage manner.

Dr. uDonoghue sewed op the wounds and Justice . Davidson bound the ; parties over to court. Farrow will not be able to get out of bed for some time. About time the races commenced, a person could look along the line of people and every few minutes see some fellow's heado down and heels up and a stir in the crowd around would Indi cate that a row was on hand. : Five or six fights followed each other' in rapid succession, bat none resulted very seri ously.
