APPEARANCE OF THE OHIO SHORE SINCE THE LATE
FLOOD The towns and country bordering upon
the river, so far as have been able to look upon
them by daylight, bear terrible witness to the
destructive character of the late food. New
Richmond must have suffered very severely, the
entire town having been inundated. Maysville
did not experience very serious Inconvenience,
through considerable amount of property was
lost by the destruction of one or two warehouses.
considerable portion OF Portsmouth was over
flowed, and much damage done. The most sc.
rlous matter there, however, Is the slipping OF
the bank, near the junction oil the Scioto and
Ohio, which now III reatens several buildings In
that portion of the town with destruction
Slides have taken place at numerous points along
the bank, and some of them very heavy, taking
down, In some instances, whole acres OF ground,
In others, the public roads rendering It necessary
TO rebuild II, and lay IT further back upon the
farms. Strewed along almost the entire route,
are wrecks of wood and fiat boats, and RATS Of
lumber. The bridges across the small streams
are nearly all swept away; indeed, | do not re-
collect to have seen one standing The loss to
the farming interest must be very great, The
bottom lands have all been oyerhowed, and
fences have been swept away for miles together.
Large amounts of corn, in the fields and cribs,
and probably much other grain, has been destroy
ed-while, In many instances, barns, and otner
outbulldings, have been entirely swept of, or re-
moved from their foundations; We passed the
locality of the ''Clermont Phalanx" after night,
so that / did not the ruins there. trust II
may be long ere we shall have another such vlsl-
