DAYTON, o., August 1.-The almost
continuous hard rains Of the past week
have been supplanted during the last
twenty-four hours with still heavier
storms. The river bottoms, consequently,
are flooded and the crops suffering seri-
ously. The Miami river and its tributa-
ries are at flood height, and higher than
ut any season for twenty
five or thirty years. At this
point no serious damage has been done,
but the bridge abutments are suffering.
Tobacco Is almost ruined by the storms.
Oats, corn and meadows are suffering
great damage by the heavy rains, and
wheat is rotting in the shock. The
weather is still gloomy tonight, and
more rain is threatened. Public feeling
about business is depressed, in conse-
quence OF the damage to crops.

disease at the residence of
his daughter, Mrs. Brown,
in Carter county, some forty miles east
of here this morning at half-past two
o'clock. He had been complaining some
what of i'll health during the past month,
but felt no serious apprehension. Last
Wednesday he took the merning train
to visit his daughter, with whom Mrs
johnson had been sojournng for the past
six weeks. He rode in hack from Car
ter's depot to her residence, some six miles
distant, and seemed in good spirits on
his arrival, and ate hearty dinner, and
after few minutes of general ccnyersa-
ton, retired upstairs, and was talking
alone with hls granddaughter, Miss
Lille Stoner. While thus engaged his
tongue refused utterance and to her great
conservation he tell from his seat to the
floor. Help was instantly summoned,
and almost as soon as raised he expressed
indistinctly that his tight side was para
lived. After being taken to bed, when
the family spoke OF sending for phys
ician he forbade it, saying that he would
soon recover. In this way the summon
ing of medical aid was deferred Tor
