Saline Observcr: A terrible rain storm passed northwest of thia place Wednesday evening. The river was higher tlian any time last spring. Klein' mill-dam was washed out in frwü places, causing a considerable loss. The east embankment of the bridge just below the dam, was albo badly washed out. Fields of grain on the river bottoms were swept away; treea and logs came rloating down the river like so many straws, causing people to think a second ilood was coming. Travel was greatly impeded by bridges being swept away, and wash-outs in the roads. It must have been one of the heaviest rains ever experienced in this section, and we expect to hear of greater damage, in the country futher north-west. A farmer northwest of this place informs us the the stoam, did a vast amount of damage in his section. The rain poured in torrents for over three hours. The rise of water was so sudden that many sheep and cattle which wère grazing on the flats, were with difficulty rescued, and in several cases drowned. Fields of oats and com were entirely destroyed and miles of fence and nunierous bridges swept away. The loss will be thousands of dollars. A 20-years old girl named Maggie McDonald arrived in Detroit from Ann Arbor yesterday and applied at the office of the poor commissioner for assistance to get to Buffalo, N. Y., from whence she hailed. She told Secetary Dwyer that some weeks ago a sister living at Chicago sent for her to come to that city, and that in response to her summons she leffc Buffalo for the west. She had not been in Chicago long before her siutar's treatment changed towards har and che wished to return to Buffalo. She had no money and her sister refused to supply her with the wherewithal to purcliane tickets for home, and after enduring illtreatment for some time longer determined to walk that distance. She left Chicago on foot two weeks ago last Sunday and reached Ann Arbor yesterday morning, after a long, weary and evenetf ui tramp. The authorities at Ann Arbor beard her story and furnished her transportation to this city, from whence she will be forwarded on to Buffalo. The girl was questioned about her journey by secretary Dwyer, and told a straightforward story, which was not shaken by cross questioning. On the way, she says, she encountered numberless trampa but managed to avoid them by seeking refuge in the uearest farm-house until they had passed. The girl, says the secreto ry, is possessed of indomitable pluck and endurance, and if her story is truc deserves great credit.- [Post and Tribune.
