A lady of Baltimore, Miss H.C.

It was only after receiving throe mes- sages that he was induced to leave her. He had barely reached the bridge, on his return, when he saw the flood coming down. and took refuge in the house of Mr. Gibbons. nct a hun- dred feet from his own dwelling, and called to his wife, advising her how she should act tor the safety of herself and the six children by her side. Speedily the water drove her and the children to the roof, where, clinging to the chimney, they seem-d ‘somewhat secure; but the rocking of the house—a three-story frame— soen caused the chimney to i9}l. Mesnwhile, Mrs. Marschane, being in the house above. reached up to Mrs. Owings a baby, bat three weeks old, supposinz it would be safer there than in herown maternal arms. Mrs. Owmgs was seen to hold it as long «ts she 'ived.
