We learn that at Evansville and other
places below here, the flood has done a
great deal Of damage. A part Of Evans
vile is inundated, as well as nearly all
49,, ow~pC hnA.,n. n.s-, ~
Albany.
Greater distress, II possible, has been
wrought along the river shore, on both
sides, than in the towns. Hundreds of
cattle, hogs, and other stock have been
drowned, and many persons have had

by the water, so that they are left en-

the abatement of the flood will be hailed
with thankfulness.
The exact height OF the water at New
Albany on Saturday, as compared with
the great floods of other years, Is as fol-
lows: Flood of 1867 three feet three
inches below the fisod of 1877, and four
feet three inches below the flood Of 1882.
With the exception of 1892 and 1s47, the
present food is the highest known IL the
Ohio since 1915.

be hoped that the great floods in the
south will soon subside.
Notwithstanding the snow storm hum
dreds of people wendell their way to the
steamer Great Republic, at Pittsburg, on
the day Of her departure, and it was
utterly impossible to keep them of
