This alarming disease has made its appear
ance in several places in this part Of the State.
We hear of it at Bridgeport, opposite Eddy

there from Missouri. Also OF Pella, and a.
Peoria, Mahaska county, where one Of two
cases proved fatal. One case is reported in
Mt. Pleasant. Under this state of fact il will
be well for our citizens to attend to the sub

vigorous prosecution of the improvement of

THE FLOOD.

We have voluminous Details of the disas-
ters by the late flood, from which we con-
dense the following particulars.
Albany, N Y, was the greatest sufferer of
which we have any account. Loss estimated
at $4,000, 600. The whole lower part of the
city to Green st. was flooded, driving the in
habitants from their dwellings,, and giving but
little time to remove property. Horsemen in
the night rode through the rising waters,
knocking up unconscious sleepers to sense
of their danger. The water, at one time, rose
six inches in the space of five minutes. To
add to the horrors of the scene, fires broke out
in several places, numerous cattle were con-
fined in the submerged distlleries whose bel
lowing, until stopped by drowning, can be
easier imagined than described.
The Ohio, Illinois, Susquehanna. Delaware,
Schuylkill, and Juniatta, rivers generally have
been very high, by which railroad, and other
bridges, and steamboats, and other property
were swept away or destroyed.
Railroads and Telegraphs have been great
sufferers. Bridges on most Of the roads have
been swept away, and we hear Of the loss of
several lives. A freight train on the C. & B.
Road was precipitated into the Bu Page,
killing the engineer, fireman and a brakeman.
All the bridges at Aurora, Big Bureau, and
five other bridges between Aurora and Men
dota, in all 10 bridges and culverts are gone.
Pas Sc myers from Burlington for time, went
by Mendoza and Bloomington, to Chicago.
The Rock Island Road was only slightly
injured, and trains at last advices were expect
ed 10 run through.
The Michigan Central was scarcely injured
at all. The Southern very slightly.
Alexandria, at the mouth of the Demoine,
v as partially submerged, but We hear Of little
damage resulting.
Chicago was threatened with disaster SINH
lar to that of iS49, in consequence of sud-
den reaking up Of the ice, and the carrying
away of the hundreds of all sorts of vessels
embedded In it into the Lake, or smashing
them. But the result was not so serious near
ly as that Of the former year.
