Great Flood.

Persons just frcm Cincinnati inform that the
Ohio river is higher than it has been since the
great rise of 1892 and that the food is increasing.
Great damage had been already done at Cincinnati.
Many buildings near the river were inundated to the
second floors; and the new frames of boats in the
boatyards had been tumbled down and damaged.
Lawrenceburgh is oyerfowed, and many families
had retreated the Court house for shelter large
number of families had also been drowned out at Au-
rora.

lowing:

completely fooded and from two thousand bar
rels of salt are lost.

hours. 1t is still rising fast here.
The weather has become cold, and it was freezing

snow melted suddenly ii fell, there is no predicting
the consequences; IL is, prepared to hear of
immense damage throughout the country bordering
