Villages Swept Away-DIillions of Property
Destroyed.

SAN FRANc1sco, Feb. 26.-It is reported to-
night that the villages of Isleton and Andrus,
in the delta of the Sacramento river were swept
away in consequence of the pressure brought
upon the walls by cutting in of the bikes on
Grand island just across the river. Reports are
continually coming in of disasters by floods in
the Sacramento valley.
The water covers the whole face of the coun-
try, and the destruction of property from
Colusa to the mouth Of the river aggregates
millions of dollars. Fortunately with but two
or three exceptions, as far as learned no loss of
life has occurred. Steamers and barges are
busy conveying live stock and other property
to places of safety. The Legislature has made
an appropriation Of $4,000 for the benefit Of
the sufferers.
