the memory Of the Oldest inhabtant. The
river is fully three miles wide opposite
the city, and is still rising slowly. A
few small houses have loatel down, some
live stock and millions of bushels o
wheat IN stacks and shocks have aoatcd
past. Large quantities of hay have alsC
| gone down. There is little driftwood
atloat or the bridge could not possibly
remain. The two railroad bridges, the
Fandalia and Indianapolis and ST. Louis
are both unsafe. The water is within q
few inches Of the windows OF the water
works, ar d quite even with the floor oil
the gas works. Both are on the river
bank, but the sand bag embankments
have so far kept the water out. No loss
of life Is reported us yet. The Clinton
Wagon bridge fourteen hilcs above us
Is floating down upon US, So is saw mill
! Over six million bushels of corn is re-
ported drowned out between Tcrre Hautc
and Hutsonvile. Below Sugar Creek
Township is wholly devastated. Very
little corn and no wheat is left in the
township. Every house in Bloomtown
Is inundated. MarkcIe's miildam, five
miles West, is broken away, and seven
