DROWNED FARMS.
a Flood Greater than Since the
e Time of Noah.
Hundreds Of People Driven from Their
Homes.
a Desert Waste of Waters IN she
Wabash and White River
V0LLeNS.

Advices from the Southern portions of
Indiana and Illinois, shows that the rain
which has been falling there for the past
month has eliminated such a flood as
has not been known since the time of
Noah. At Evansville, Ind, the water
is nine and half feet higher than the
danger line. Evansville is on an eleva-
ton, and is not Injured, but the low lands
extending Is miles below and 10 miles
above, on the river, are covered with
four feet of water, extending inland two
miles from the natural bed of the river,
and all products are washed out and the
inhabitants rendered homeless. A large
tract of land in Kentucky, opposite
Evansville, tract of land two or three
miles wide and extending fifteen miles
down the river is covered with three or
four feet of wafer This condition of
things prevails from Evansville along
the Ohio river to It's mouth, but the
damage i'll de;ail cannot be told. White
river, which has It's source above Indian
apolis, and makes circuit out to the
Wabash near Mount Carmel, is over
flowing the country. In ordinary stages,
it is 700 feet wide, but the waters now
embl ace strip of country from three to
five miles in width. Farms directly wa
tered by it aie washed away, with houses.
fences. stock, and utensils. From Halle
ton to the mouth of the river the damage
is almost incalculable. 1t is estimated
that 10000 acres are inundated, the water
standing in fields six feet deep. The in
undated region is cultivated in wheat
and co. n, and everything is swept away.
The sudden rise took the people un-
prepared, and they were surprised before
they could remove their furniture or get
away. On Saturday, G. B. Bingham of
Patoka, who has thousands Of acres on
the river bank. chartered the steamer
Beltie Gilbert, the only one plying on
White river, and went to his farms to
rescue his stock. He foud fowls rOOsting

places holding their heads above water.

AS an indication of the rapid develop
ment of this country as wheat produc-

indication of how much wheat grows.

MULLETT LAKE EXCURsION.-Last
Sunday through the kindness and upon
the invitation of Mr.. Thompson Smith,
who chartered the tug Maud Sammons
to 60 to the head of Mullett Lake to as
certain the state of improvements there,
number of citizens of this place and
visitors, enjoyed an excursion upon this
beautiful lake and up Indian River as far
as nayigable. The day was all that could
be desired, and enjoyment seemed to
reign supreme. Those who went to the
mouth of Burt Lake, saw, many of them
for the first time, the improvements
which have been made there. and how
comparatively little it would cost to open
navigation between the two lakes and
can appreciate more fully the necessity
OF having the work completed as soon as
possible. As for the strangers who were
with the party, they were mole than
pleased with the appearance OF the coun-
try and will return to their homes, fully
realizing the advantages that this coun-
try possesses for all who wish to avail
themselves Of them. With navigation
fully established, nothing could prevent
the rapid settlement and growth Of the
country surrounding these lakes.

FISHING CARs.-The Grand Rapids &

are fitted up with sleeping berths fol
nine persons and contain cook stove

day for use of cars is ten dollars. They
will be great accommodation to tourists
and fishing parties and will doubtless be
well patronized.

leg about midway between the ankle and
knee. For some time past Mr.. Mickle-
john has been suffering from senile gan
creme in his foot, Whicf Would have
ended his life in a short time. After 9
consultation of physicians it was decided
that the only chance of saving his life
was to remove the diseased member. The
operation was accordingly performed
Thursday afternoon by DR.. Perrin, as
sisted by DR.. Gerow and DR.. Bailey, OF
Mackinaw. The operation was success
full, but whether he will survive the
shock or not cannot yet be told, his age
(sixty-four years. making it somewhat
uncertain. Mr.. Micklejohn suffered the
amputation of his left foot from the same
cause some years since.

That is in keeping with the character
of the Commercial. 1t will acknowledge
nothing good in any of the late great
Confederate leaders, Notwithstanding
their heroism and virtues may have
drawn compliments from intelligent men
in all parts of the earth. The purity of
Lees character is an acknowledged his
torical fact, and his transcendant ability
as great captain places him higher
than any who participated in the late
terrible conflict were. Gov Groome and
the ladies and gentlemen of Baltimore are
aiding in n effort to do honor to one oi
Americas proudest heroes without re
gard to his political sentiments, and pos
terity will honor their acts as worthy nc
patriotic.
