Flood in Wisconsin.

It seems that the floods which have recently visited various parts of our country have not entirely overlooked some of our brethren, as will be seen by the following from Bro. Downer:—

“The late high water visited our home. It carried away the stove room, fifty rods of fence, and ten cords of wood, and tipped over the barn, under which the ground is washed out ten feet deep. Windows were broken in, trunks and bureaus were filled with mud and froze. Water was four or five feet deep in the house, and the parlor furniture was carried away. Mud is now fifteen inches deep on the carpets and frozen. Stones weighing two thousand pounds were swept along like chips.”
