From the WestchesUr Herald. Mount Pleasant, Aug. 14.. DISASTERS BY FLOOD AND.FIKE. It becomes our duty to detail the injurious ef
fecteofa very, heavy fall of rain, which took place in this region of th country, on Tuesday
afternoon and evening laft meek. The rain in
tht afternoon was accompanied with'vivid and
almost incessant flashes of lightning and peals
of thunder, while the descending torrents deluged in a great measure tfte highways, water
coarcai, fields and gardens throughout this
neighborhood. At about 10 o clock in the evening the work of devastation commented; the ruehing waters swept away the bridge belong ing to the Highland Turnpike, near Mr. Yale's
bakery, demolished a small earn, and complete
ly inundated a field belonging to Mr. Buckhout;
carried away the mill-dam, doom and water-
wheel attached to Mr. WfctHon's grist mill hi led with Clones and rubbish the dam and des
troyed the flue and water-wheel connected with
Mr. Moll's baik' mill and forced out the but
ment of the dam belonging lo the paper mill of
the Messrs. Higbee, near the landing. The le
cistless torrent in its decent, not only laid bare the bed of the stream, with the exception of Mr.
Mo It's dam, but with the immence masses oi earth, stones and timber, exaavated a considerable extent of road which crosses the outlet he tween the landings, and overflowed the whole
extent of that ground at the mouth of the stream
wasting the garden of Mr. H. Curling, which waseulirely covered with sand and rubbish. The swelling waters in the course of the
night flowed into the lower ttory of the paper
mill just mentioned, tilled cellar under one purl of the building, and in rising communicated with some barrels of lime, that had Uetn imprudent ly. stored in an adjoining building without a floor ilioul 12 o'clock, the &(Jmc cop turning lime wa-
dUcovered hy Mr, purling to be on. fire, who
gave an imtncuiald alarm, out neiore we cm zens were generally! aroused or arrived nt the landing, the flam'es had communicated to the hit ishing room and from it to the maiu stories of the mill. The difficulty ol access to the scence oi
conflagration, in consequence of the .iHgtng flooi
stones and tragments of other material urged down by it, and hastened lo the scene of duty, and labored maritally in their wet and exposed condition until the morning, to extinguish the tire, and preserve whatever could be resuued from the devouring element, merit the highest
praise una warmest thanks
.enf, The entire edifice
very few ai tides of value were saved.
We have no very accurate means of estimating the amount ol loss sustained by individual sufferers, bnt should jdge it to be about as follows: Messrs. Higbee, between 5 and $6,000,' Mctsis. Scott, 2,50O; Mr. hiUon, $1,000; Mr. Buckhout, glOO; Turnpike Campany, 50 besides considerable damage to other individuals in various wa i of less amount. The injury to the roads iu many places is very great. We are likewise iuformed, .that this storm has done much damage to the roads in ether parts of the country, and the principal streams bccaaie very much swollen, and considerable in
jury has beeu the consequence. We learn thai
fllr. towler, lost 40 sheep, during the storm; and a stack of hay, that was struck with lights ning and consumed. We. also learn that the rain on Tuesday last was very severe in Rockland county, opposite this place; and that a tremendous torrent daring that night, swept down the opening in the mountain leading to- Van Valen's Landing, carrying before it immense quantities of earth and stones, and destroying the road and almost every thing else iu its descent. The descending materials forced in the back part of the dwelling house of Mr. Adm. Van Valen, situate at th landing, and completely filled the lower story with sand, stones, &c. The family' was compeU led to take refuge on board a vessel at the wharf. The loss of Mr. Van Valen must have
been great, probably $1,000; but the most melancholy part of ou duty is yet to be performed.
W e uaderstand that in the fatieue and disasters
of tbe night, Mr. V. became very much excited
and exhausted, and after endeavorine to obtain
some repose on Wednesday forenoon, he waii
eized with the worse symptoms of the prevail
ing epidemic, and expired the same day. The deceased had the day previous, kindly rendered assistauce to a young mau, who was seized with cholera on board a sloop off that landing. '
It devolves upon us to state (hat ince our last publication, four deaths by cholera have taken place on Somera plain, viz: Mr. Harvey lligga, Mr. Lyon and his mother, and Cobure Bariptt In Bedford, Mrs. Hull is said to have died of the prevailing epidemic. Iu Northcaslle on the 4th Mr. Reuben SnifTen, an intempe- . rate man, died, with a very short Illness, which is suppostoliave beeo malignant cholera. In liarmrjh, a Mr. Totiea is reported to have died of cholera. We are informed, a person from Albany has died in the cholera hospital at Feekskill. it is gratifying to perceive this awful malady has not spread the last week io Yon-
kers or any of the towns along the river.
Blue Law. Revived. iWe hive learned with surprise, that during a recent legal investigation in Wiscas?et, before Ether Sheply Esq. of Saco, who was appointed by the government for that purpose, it was decided by the aforesaid gentleman, that a party could properly object to testimony if offered by a Universalis!! Really, this is going an unexpected length in thit age and in this Stats too. I he circumstances were these if we uave been put in possession of them correctly. Two of the witnesses called, Gee. M'Cobb, of Waldoboro, and a Mr. M'Clintock, wire objected to by the council, Albert Smith, Esq. and Gen. Fessenden on the ground of their . religious faith. Under the direction ol the court Mr. Shepley they were euquired of as follows: ' 'Do you believe the Bible?" Ans. ''Tcs.1' 'Do you believe in a litturetale of rewards ocd punishments?"' Ans. 'No." Mr. Shepley decided, that their last answers formed an objection to the credibility of the gtntitmeu ! than whom 4 more credible gentleman does not live in Maina than that excellent man Gen. Dcuny M'Cr.bh. With the other we are not acquainted; tntaie told he is a respectable citizen. If we have been misinformed aud stated mi wrror, mp.
should be glad to he corrected if not, we think the fact ought to be known, and circulated fronj one end of the State to the other, lias it come
lo this? Are the Blue laws of Connecticut ; which
even that State has been shamed nut ot to Uc established in Maine. Gardiner Inieltigtnct.
