A HENDERSON VISITATION.
Henderson Valley experienced something in the nature of a cloudburst, or perhaps a succession of them, as the rainfall there was heavier than the oldest resident could recall. On several occasions at night the roar of the rain on the house-tops was equalled only by the continuous peal of thunder overhead, and in daylight some of the rainstorms were of an intensity to blot out all the immediate surroundings from sight. The little rills in the many valleys which debouch on the main Henderson Valley became raging cataracts, and they united to make the Henderson stream—ordinarily a placid little watercourse—a turgid flood, which overflowed its banks and swept down the valley. Little damage was done in the valley, despite the severity of the storm. c
