Account of Some of the Terrible Flood Disasters in Texas.

THE DESTRUCTION OF LYNCHBURG. Thursday night was one of terror. The tide, now to its full height, surged with the fury of the gale. Torrents of rain fell, and the wind howled with all the fury of a hurricane. All but a few tooconfident people of Lynchburg and San Jacinto had gone to the hills for safety before night After midnight houses, vesseis, everything yielded to the gale. Friday morning nothing but devastation met the eye. Destruction and wrecks all around; rafts, logs, timbers and fragments of houses, bearing struggling humanity, driven here and there by the pitiless gale; fluttering signals of distress from many a tree top; the fierce wind and waves dimmed all cries for succor; piteous motions alone told the looker-on of the <4 inf mean nf i tniiovi UWvrvßß Di tut luipciitcui * — The steamer Matamoras No. 2, Capt. Alexander Bell, formerly of the Houston Direct Navigation Company, had been driven across the flats on the north side of the San Jacinto. The , steamer Star and barges were driven near her. The drift commenced accumulating around them, and fortunately her position was a point of concentration for tlie floating debris to which people had clung. Capt. Bell, with Mr. Leacock, engineer, and four men got out the life-boat and rescued such persons as they could get near, but the gale was so fearful that they could make bit little headway. Aoout ten a. m. a smart raft with two persons on was seen approaehing. As it came nearer they were discovered to be Dr. Chamberlain and wife, of Lynchburg. He was sitting on the raft holding his wife’s head in his lap. Her body was partly under water. The current swept them near the Matamoras, and as the raft struck among the drift, and just as their rescuers from the Matamoras got a rope around Dr. Chamberlain, Mrs. Chamberlain’s body was torn from his grasp and swept under the drift. The husband, thoughtless of his own life, was appealing to the rescuers: “ Don’t save me, save my wife,” and after she was gone begged them to let him down with her. He was hauled on board m a benumbed condition. It is the opinion of Capt. Bell and Mr. Leacock that she was dead before seen by them. About noon a family named Perkins, three men, a woman and a child, came floating from down the river on top of a house. It caught among the trees, into which they all got, from where they were all taken in safety by the yawl-boat of the Matamoras. The current and wind were so strong that four men could not manage the boat. After various efforts to get to them Capt. Bell paid out line and floated the boat to them and took them off. During the day Campbell, Mr. Leacock and the crew of four men picked up and saved twenty-one persons. The Perkins family say that everything was swept off from Adams’ Island, which is about five miles below Lynchburg. A number of persons aye known to have been drowned in the vicinity of Lynchburg and San Jacinto. The report is that all the houses along the shore from Lynchburg to the bay are swept off. The scene from Harrisburg to Lynchburg is deplorable. The water is up to the top of the cars on the San Railroad track at Harrisburg. At Norseworthy’s it was upto the front-yard gate. At Massie’s the drift marked the height of the tide far up the bank at his landing. Dr. Massie stated to the passengers on the Fowler that the tide-water from the gulf was thirty-four inches above the highest , rain-flood within his knowledge on the bayou. Between Lynchburg and Morgan’s Point not a house is standing on the immediate shore of San Jacinto Bay or on the islands except the warehouse of the Ship Channel Company on the point. Of the residents Mrs. Pierce and four children, little Clara Grafton, Mrs. McKee and Mrs. August are known to have been lost. Mr. and .Mrs. Alexander and Mr. McKee are said to have been saved by young Mr. Miltrun. UNHAPPY EXPERIENCE OP TWO FAMILIES. Mr. and Mrs. West (formerly .Mrs. Grafton) occupied a new house at Baytown. Mrs. .McKee and little Clara Grafton, Mrs. West’s child, were with them. When the water rose over Ilog Island Mr. McKee, Charles Post, the lightkeeper, and Mrs. Pierce, with four children, abandoned that place and came in a skiff to West’s, Thursday morning before daylight. During Thursday tire water rose gradually in the house, and by afternoon reached the ceiling. They hung on by the windows until about four p. m., when, finding that the water was gaining, they got into a skiff, with the hope of reaching the high land. In half an hour the skiff was swamped, and in getting hold of the windows again two children were lost, the oldest and youngest girl. Mr. West then made a hole in the.roof, and all were got on it. Small hand-holes were made to cling to. In a short time the roof was swept away from the building, the tide carrying them up the bay several miles. They drifted about Thursday night and Friday at the mercy of the waves, during which time Mr. McKee and r. Post got in a tree, when the norther came out on Friday and drove them back down the bay. Of the occupants of the roof none remained but Mr.’ and Mrs. West, Mrs. Pierce and one child, and Mr. Post. The wind drove them across the bay and the current into the mouth of the canal. Just as the roof entered the canal it turned over and Mrs. Pierce and child were Idst. Mr. West rose,, clinging to his wife, and seized the roof again, the current swept the roof over on the east Side, and when it struck the bank the two were thrown up on the side of the dump. Post was able to reach the bank, West was senseless, and Mrs. West stunned, but moaning. The tug Coates had been driven by the gale on the point, and lay on the other side of the dump. Mr. Nelson, who had brought her up from Red-Fish through tlie gale, and Mr. Rhett, mastermechanic, were on board. Hearing the moans, they went over the dump and carried the rescued pair on board the tug. About seven p. m., within half an hour after Mrs. West was carried on the tug, she was taken ill and gave birth to a boy’ These rugged men, fathers themselves, yet unused to such ministrations, aided by Mr. West, faithfully performed the duties belonging to gentler hands. The brave little woman who had undergone all these perils, seeing mother, child, sister and her four nieces swept away before her eyes, gave directions which doubtless saved her life and that of the babe. As soon as mpther and babe were in condition to be moved and the gale would permit a couch was made, and the men of the dredging fleet carried them up to the old Morgan place, occupied by Mr. Tom Edwards, where every possible arrangement was made for their'eomfort. Yesterday evening, when the Fowler left Morgan’s Point, both were doing well.— ll out tun Tele arai/h, Sept; 21. W hat’s in a name—Four letters.

MECHANICAL AND SCIENTIFIC.

—A cement, impermeable by air and steam, and especially well adapted to use for steam or gas pipes, is made of powdered graphite six parts, slaked lime , three parts, sulphate of lime eight parts and boiled oil seven parts, well kneaded. —lt is thought that M. Jamin’s researches point to an important modification in the construction of magnets. Thus, supposing that a great number of plates, which, after being separately magnetized to saturation, are placed together, the magnetism of tlie combination is seen to increase up to a limit which cannot be passed, and which is reached when the polar surfaces are filled. Supposing that ten plates are required—if the same experiment be recommenced, applying the same plates against two iron armatures of a large surface—the intensities increase much more slowly, because tha sum of tlie magnetism is diffused over a more considerable extent, the limit not being reached till this extent is full. For this it may be needful to superpose twenty, thirty or forty plates, and, generally speaking, a number so much greater as the armatures are larger. The total power of the magnet increases, therefore, with its —The Londoft~Sfew«, speaking of the superior elasticity of steel as compared with iron, gives an illustration of the fact as presented in the course of some recent investigations, as follows: A bar of hardened steel, one inch square, being laid on two supports/ fifty-four inches apart, a load was applied at the center, beginning at fifty pounds and increasing gradually by that amount until it reached 1,400 pounds. Now, under 800 pounds the deflection was one inch; with 1,000 pounds it was one and one-fourth inches, and with 1,200 pounds a little over one and one-half inches, showing the increase of deflection to be nearly as the strain. With a load of 1,200 pounds a slight “set” -was observed, amounting to .016 inch, which was quadrupled by the addition of another fifty pounds. From this point the deflection and set increased more rapidly, being 14.5 inches and .133 inch respectively, under a strain of 1,300 poupjis, and with 1,350 the set was .429 inch—the fact thus appearing that the elasticity remained perfect until the load exceeded 1,200 pounds. According to the New London (Conn.) Telegram, an affair of the Charley Ross sort-is. threatening Niantic. The Episcopal clergyman in that village was visited by burglars recently. They secured but few articles of value, but left a note threatening to abduct his child if SI,OOO were not left beneath a certain tree by a certanT date. —— —’ _ T A Buffalo physician assures the Express that the treatment known as “ moxa,” which was administered to Clara Morris recently, is a painless one, as irons at a white heat cause only a prickling sensation when applied to the flesh. The doctor claims himself to have undergone the treatment. ’

Capture of a Devil-Fish.

A monster devil-fish was caught under the New York steamship wharf on Monday afternoon. He in some way got under and was unable to find his way out from among the piling. Some men at work upon the wharf heard the splashing which he made and fired several shots at him, but as they seemed to have no effect a harpoon was obtained and his capture effected, fifteen men being required to tow him ashore. The blood which escaped from him colored the water for about ten feet on either side. He was sixteen feet in width and fifteen in length. His fins were about four feet long, and his tail about the same length and not much larger than a person’s finger. His mouth opened to the width of two feet and was eighteen inches in length, and projecting from each side of it was a feeler about one foot wide and two feet long, which he rolled up and unrolled at will. So far as could be ascertained there has been but one of these singular fish caught in this region before this one. Previous to the war one larger than this one was cap tured near Center street wharf. " To Armenia, in Asia, belongs the honor of discovering that telegraph wires may be adapted as clothes-lines for laundry purposes. The practice of hanging linen to dry on the wires has lately become general in that country, and revealed the iHtherto unknown fact that the Armenian peasantry are' in the habit, occasionally, of washing their clothes. Much dismay has, however, been caused by an order that has been issued by the authorities forbidding the continuance of this arrangement. It seems that the wires have, on more occasions than one, been broken by awkward washerwomen, and Sheiket Effendi, an “Armenian Scudamore,” who has just been appointed Director of the Telegraph at Erzeroum, has solemnly declared that no more shirts, stockings or other garments shall be hung on the wires, on,, any pretense whatever.
