The lovoo near Hannibal, NO., broke
yesterday, and over 100, 900 acres of
the finest land in the State hre over
flowed and millions of dollars worth Of
property is destroyed, Thousands of
dollars worth OF cord-wood aud fencing,
and hundreds Of logs are floating down
the river, while sOvernl hundred head
OF horses, cattle, sheep and hogs that
were grazing on the bottoms can not be
found, aud the supposition is that they
are all drowned. The water has seri-
opsly interfered with the running Of
trains, and ut may points the tracks are
entirely washed out. The stream near
Quincy Is 90 miles wide. and the Illi-
nois river is over 10 miles wide. When
the levee broke people fed for thcir
lives, and 1t is not yet certain that all
escaped to places Of safety. s:3iss7i.1
