UoitTBKjuu Feb. 7.—The third day of the carnival waa favored with a auow storm which commenced in the morning and lasted all day. Crowds poured in from the belated trains, the trafllo being greater thaa the trains could accommodate, and a* to hotels, they were jammed. The chief feature was the attack on the tea palace. The snow shoera formed aroond the palace and a a given signal attacked with biue lights and Roman candles. The palace answered with the same and lighta flashed over the heads of the attacking party, while occasionally salvos of fireworks were fired into the air from the interior of the fort-like structure. The effect was simply grand. The procession took more than an hour to pass a given point, and was not less than three miles long. It went up tlio mountain Side, through trees, the first part of the line climbing and disappearing while tlie last part of the lino had not left the city.

Adopted. PmsBUBO, Pa., Feb. 7.—It is reported that the rivers have reacched their greatest height, and it is thought both will now lull to fall. Reports to the above effect have been received from Oil City, on the Allegheny, and Brownville, on the Monongahela river. The water is still rising here, and the marks now stand 34 feet 2 inches and rising 2 inches per hour in the Allegheny, and 84 feet and rising 2 inches per hour in the Monongahelfi. One loss of life has been reported and several persons are missing, A young man named Wyman was in some manner drawn into a sewer trap, and drowned before aid reached him. Following is the estimated damage reported at this source: By manufacturers, $225,000; workmen, wages lost, $360,000; families, homes flooded, $125,000; owners' flooded property, $250,000; goods damaged in cellars of business bouses, $350,000; lumber dealers, $3,000,000; railroads, $200,000; surrounding towns, $200,000. The Kitanning bridge across the Allegheny, valued at $20,000, has been swept away. A portion of the Western Pennsylvania railroad bridge across the Allegheny at Freeport has been carried off. It is just reported that the new iron bridge from Allegheny City to Herr's island, valued at $16,000, is gone. The wooden bridge at Forty-third street, Pittsburg, has fallen a prey to the water, and two other important bridges connecting the cities of Pittsburg and Allegheny are expected to go at any moment. A Wheeling special says that tho damages by the flood at that oity are estimated at $1,000,000. Half the city is submerged and 7,000 people are homeless. Wheeling island, containing 800 acres of land and 5,000 inhabitants, is entirely under wator, and Intense suffering is reported. Heartrending accounts have been received from Be laire, Bridgeport, Martin's Ferry, Moundsvllle and other places. Some villages are entirely submerged. Within a radius of fifty miles from Wheeling the losses already reach $5,000,000. No train* have arrived or left there since Tuesday noon. Numerous deaths by drowning are reported. All wires west of the Ohio river are down. Operators in the Wheeling office of the Bankers and Merchants' Telegraph company were driven out of the office by the flood.

The stone marks at the foot of Market street on the Monongahela wharf indicated thirty-two foet Rlvermen are of the opinion that an extreme height of thirty-four to thirty-five feet would be reached before the waters began to recede. The Monongahela is stationarv at headwaters. Washington, Feb. 7 —Some of the shrewdest political calculators in the District of Columbia are willing to stake their reputation* on the prophesy that either this month or the month of March will see some cabinet changes. The signs that Arthur will be a candidate for the party nominations are be-oming more discernible every day, and the talk of cabinet upheavals is one of the clearest of them. In an inadvertent moment Secretary Folger recently admitted that when he became tho chief financial officer he had already premptorily declined to become attorney general. He 4id this at the instanoe of Roscoe OonHing, who ro minded him that the Empire State was entitled, by virtue of the bargain made at the Fifth Avenue hotel, to the place of secretary of the treasury and urged the judge to be satisfied with nothing lees. Mr. Arthur gave the place to Folger on the understanding that when the time came it should be exchanged for the governorship of the state at New York, the programme being to call Morton home as soon as Folger was duly installed at Albany. The hitch came in tin shape of an adverse majority of 20,000. In the bands of a positive man like Morton, the department oould be made to wield an influence not easily resisted, but it is poesibly a source of injury rather than of benefit. Morion is known to have been deeply chagrined at his failure to reach the treasury building. He was explicitly promised the place if he would accept the chairmanship of the celebrated begging committee. He was given the choice between Loudon and Paris, and be is now taking consolation for the vtolated bargain at the French capital. He is too valuable a man to remain there, however, at such a time as this. The popular version of the president's intentions is that Brewster is to go to Paris, Folger is to succeed Brewster, and Morton to succeed Folger, but, as stated, Folger has already once declined the attorney general - ship, and it is doubtful whether he could bCt induced to take it now.

Word from him reached Suakim on Thursday last, announcing that if relief did not arrive by Saturday lie should make a desperate effort to cut his way through the eiibmy to the coast, as his condition forbade the further attempt to hold the town. This effort has proved futile. AU business was suspended and every vehicle that could be preued into the service was demanded. Mr. Clements, of Georgia, from the earn® committee, reported a resolution calling on tho secretary of state for information as to the names of foreign ministers, consuls or agents of the government who have been absent from tho post of duty since Jan.

The diarymen did not object to tho sale of the artificial stuff under its true colors, but it was a Jwell 'mown fact that in nine oaaes out of tea it was sold as butter. Mr. William Hardin, of Kentucky, read a letter from Mr. 9. B. Tliurber, iu which he argued that the introduction of oleomargarine had been the means of benefiting the dairy people and enabling them to get a better prioe forfthsir produce.

London, Feb. 7.—The government has arranged for the transportation of 0,000 men to Egypt, should It become necessary to send them.

The subject has been going the rounds of the daily press, particularly in Pennsylvania, and has been ta.ked of here. Some of the members of the cabinet council there have hailed the idea as the only practical one to enable the government to cope with the military organisation known as the Avenging Angels of Brigham Young. The Times urges the government to at once declare a protectorate over Egypt. Resolved, That we, the creditors of Hon. Daniel F.

These gentlemen were formerly members of the Reichstag, where they were among the most persistent opponents of Priuce Bismarck's policy, and in 1872 they were condemned to two. years' ia»pri»ontnent for treasonable utterances. Their efforts have mainty been directed, however, to securing reform through legislationpand their methods are too moderate to suit the ideas of the preeent leaders of the Anarchist faction, who have caused placards to be posted in the Koyfcl Palace at Dresden, proclaiming that blood alone can satisfy their hatred of the aristocracy.

Furgeson, of this place, when seventeen years o age was attacked with severe pains in bis right hand, and though he is uoDv furty-eix years old he £tas been annually attacked similarly, though at each time suffering more than at the preceding time. Convulsions and paroxysms now visit him at exactly the same period of the year, and always at the same hour in the evening. He is now suffering the most acute agony, and is visited by scores of physicians, who have been completely babed. His body becomc s tersibly swollen, he becomes unconscious, and on waking shows evidence of having passed through a terrible ordeal. On being restored he becomes perfectly well, and is only troubled at intervals of a year. The case can be accounted for by the fact that Furgeson's mother during gestation saw the contortions and evidences of agony in a snake which had been thrown into a fire, and that be has become thus birtluoarked in temperament.
