Are Railroads beneflclal to cities? is a question whlch"needs only such an answer may be had from the top of the bluffs north of our city, from which three new towns may be seen which owe their origin and growth en-, tirely to the St. Joe &CB.RR,, t hey are Phelps Corning and Watson. These towns now, though but about one year old, already make quite a good showing of large buildings and do a thriving business with the surrounding country. This is the case at only way sta tions, where no town, or thought of a town, existed before. The towns along the river in this and Richardson counties need but look over the river and seo what one short year has done to spur them up to work with all their might to secure the building of the St. Louis & Nebraska Trunk Railroad. The merchant's Inanrajtce Company of St. Joseph, Mo., Is a company formed en tirely of capitalists of St. Joseph and Omaha and intermediate points. Every town has more or less stock, Theo. mil A Co. and Swan Bro. of this city, are stockholders, which has already reached $200,000.

He has been, and Is, one of the mo6t enterprising citizens that Brown vllle has ever contained. In business. In public affairs, In building, in improvements generally, he has never acted a second part. He will, we learn, remain here, and, we hope, soon be in business again, as he 6hoves things lively in whatever he undertakes. Negro BUI, incarcerated for non-payment of four fines upon four charges, all for distur bing the peace, was discharged last Monday evening, for the reason that he had no means of paying the fine, and it was thought the punishment was sufficient. Judge Morgan's course In this case we know will be endorsed by our citizens, yet the offender need not an tlcipate coming off as easy should he offend In like manner again. .

Yesterday afternoon, as we were nearly ready to go to press, a rain stoma came over this vicinity making It almost na dark as. night, and impossible to work wlthontlamps Rain commenced falling afcont S o'clock, and continued heavy till nearly four, when it sud denly began pouring down In a deluge, with momentary flashes of vivid forked lightning continuing for at least an hoar. Boon the water rushed down into the branch between Main and "Water streets from a thousand J rivulets, running apparently on the side hill to the depth of four Inches, and making of the branch aa angry torrent, from twenty to one hundred feet wide and In places fifteen to twenty feet deep, and threatening the safety of houses and barns situated near its banks. The culvert on fourth Btreet, during the hlght of the storm, became ehoaked cp, backing up the water to 5th street and rnnnlng over the 4th street culvert to the depth of ten Inches. Trees and logs two foot over came down, and we were there when a huge log made a breech In going along, and In about two minutes some ten feet of the fill gave way and let lose the body of water that flooded the houses at and near the levee. At one time It rushed through Mrs. Somer' residence to the depth of fifteen inches, and moved it on its founda tion. This wave carried away one of Bell & Small'B new wagons, mashing It up consider able, and about $200's worth of frames ; wash ing down the south 6hed of L. D. Jtoblson's stable, mashing one vehicle; carrying the bridge onLcvee street from its place,and flood- Ing the residences of Mr. Coffman, Emons, and other between Levee street and the river. On this street the damage may be stated at aixut two thousand yards of fill washed from the culverts, and the culverts considerably damaged, loss to the city, in this and other portions of the city, about $2,500. To the citi zens along the branch, altogether," in fences. outhouses, &c, washed down and away, and washing through dwellings, perhaps, $1,500. From the north hollow the water brok over AtTan tic 6treet, carrying several cords of wood to the mouth of the culvert across Main street, causing the water to back np Into Dr. Crane's cellar under Holtainger's store to the depth of about four feet, and tmdermln ing and letting down the pavement In front of Marlon's store. On Atlantic, between 3rd and 4th, the water washed under the fill. Al together the damage on Main and Atlantio can be repaired for $500. It was the heaviest rain that has fallen in this city. In our re- memberance, since the spring of 1858." The Cemeterv Grounds. Prlvlous no tice has been given that the Board of Direc tors of the "Walnut Grove Cemetery Associ ation" have decided to clear up and put the groun ds in order. To this end a workman has been employed, and is now at work, and has orders togruband trim up theentlre grounds. Lot owners, of course, are permitted to ar range their own grounds to their own taste, themselves ; otherwise the work will be done by the Sexton, and the actual cost, which will not t over one dollar per lot, will be taxed up to lot owners. Lot owners can give the Sexton such Instructions as they may desire, as to grubbing and trimming the natural growth In the Cemetery.
