that descended, swelled every little
tributary to the saw mill run into
boiling stream, and the aceumula
tion of water rushing with mad and
irresistible fury down the valley,
sweeping everything before it. The
track of the destructive food is mar
ked by the wrecks of dwellings,
bridges, immense heaps of stones,
large piles of food wood, and the
torn and ragged sides OF the hills
where the water surged and gnawed
into their very vitals. Seven life
less bodies have already been found
and from twenty-five to thirty per-
sons are missing. The iron bridge
crossing saw mill run at Matt streen,
and five Others above, were swept
away. At McLaughlin's about elev-
ed miles west, on the Pan Handle
Road, eleven persons are reported
to have been drowned, also hun
dreds of cattle, horses, sheep, etc.
Tamperanceville was the heaviest
sufferer. Here a narrow stream
known as Saw Mill Run, empties in
to the Ohio. Up this stream hardly
a vestige of two iron bridges remain.
Stones two and three feet in thick
ness by five feet in length we've torn
from the abutments and carried
down stream like pieces Of cork.
Five wooden bridges and three tres
tie works over the same stream
were also swept away. The gaso-
meter at the gas works we're also
badly injured. G. S. & ]. j. Tay-
lor's salt works are also a complete
wreck. Loss $4,000.
The latest carefully prepared re-
port makes the loss of life reported
up till Monday evening 219.

ton.

AS we have before stated, the Fifth
Cincinnati Industrial Exposition
will commence September 2 and
close October 3. Thebuildings will
be open for the reception of goods
from August 3 to September 1.
These ExpOsitions are held under
the direction of Board Of Commits
sioners appointed by the Chamber
of Commerce, Board OF Trade, and
Ohio Mechanics Institute, and have
been by far the largest and most sue
cessful of any other similar exhibit
tions ever held in the United States.
It is the only enterprise of the kind
without a stockholding interest,
being supported by a public guar
antee fund of $250,O00. tits in no
sense a private enterprise, and con-
tributes nothing to any private
profit. The buildings are in the
heart of the city, and were erected
especially for these Expositions.
Eight arches are under roof. Ar
rangements have been made for re-
duced rates Of fare, and for the cheap
transportation of articles for the
Exposition, from all parts Of the
country. For further particulars,
see advertisement elsewhere. This
great industrial fair is of national
interest, and We presume every state
and territory will be represented.
At this late day it is hardly neces-
sary to argue the advantage Of these

The Cincinnati Times speakin

The Cincinnati Times speaking
of the pay of Congressman, says:
Not long ago the Congressman
got eight dollars q day about 81, 100
for the first year of about 220 days.
and $72O for the second year of 80
days. During the war, while the
attention ofthe people was diverted
to other matters, Congress raised
their wages to over four times the
amount they had previously receiV-
ed, about 1925 per day for the long
term of 22O days, Though this year
it was about a month less and $55
55 per day for the short term of 90
days. One would think this was
enough in all conscience for the
members of the present Congress,
without going into the"grab" which
was everywhere condemned with
such unanimity), for over $4,000
more.

The Good Tins Coming.

The New York Daily Bulletin, one
of the most intelligently and care
fully edited of commercial journals,
publishes a review Of the money
markets of Europe and the United
States, and contrasts the ruling low
rates of interest in all parts of the
continent and Great Britain at the
present time with the high rates
ruling last year. The conclusion
arrived st bv the Bulletin is that the
prevailing ease in all the money
markets of the world must lead to a
revival of business this fall Of a
healthy and substantial character,
not perhaps of extraordinary activ-
ity, as that may be reserved for 1875,
but vast improvement on the trade
of last Spring. This calculation
comedies with the opinion Of most
Of our bankers and merchants. The
revival Of business in the fall is not
a question Of any reasonable doubt
as the associated banks of New York
have now a loaning capacity Of $685.
900, 900 in excess of last years abil
ity, and this In itself would be s
sufficient reason for predicting an
extra ordinary speculative move
ment in 1875.
