TEEMENDoUs STOEM.--Grr0t Destruction
gPropGtn.-A trlcgraphic despatch from
Cincinnati, Oct. rs, says: We have been
visited by a tremendous storm, which has
caused the destruction OF an immense a.
mount of property. 1t has rainod almost
continuously for three days, ovcrlowing
the country for miles around.
| Along the little Miami, which is high
er than it has been known for years, the
damage done is beyond parallel. In Ia
number of instances, barns have been
swept away, and thousands OF bushels of
grain destroyed. The fences, for fifty
miles along the river, have shared in the
general destruction, and there is no tell
ing at the present time the extent of the
damage done. The bottom lands have
been overlooked, and the Little Miami,
for miles, now forms broad lake.
! The Chic river at this place is several
feet above high water mark, and is still
rising at the rate of one foot and a half
per hour. Several gardens along the
river, in front of the city, are already
covered with water.
The small tributary streams are swoll-
en- to Overlooking, and in their mad Ca
reer spreading destruction around. 1t is
next to impossible to form any estimate
of the amount ofdamagc done. 1t is I'M
qucstionably the most severe treShct we
have ever had here.
