WELLvILLE, April 90,


The recent heavy rains have caused a
food equal TO tina. Of 1892. The river
is still swelling four inches an hour.--
The destruction of property is incalcu-
liable. It's reported that many lives lost.
Occupants of the lands not having been
disturbed during the past twenty years,
flattered themselves with further security,
and made extensive improvements, many
of which are entirely swept a away.
Numerous small buildings have already
passed. and at present large frame
house is sweeping down stream. The
river commenced rising on Saturday, ad-
vancing at the rates Of nine inches an
hour. During Sunday and Monday.
large quantities of timber and drift COW
cred the surface. AT this time the river
is over its banks. and rising five inches
per hour. Warrenton and Marietta are
completely submerged. Great fears are
entertained for the safery of the Beaver
Canal reservoir. Reports say il cannot
stand the pressure Of water.
