Flood In the Upper Missouri.

ST.. LOUIS, March 29.-Advices from
Pierre, Dakota, state the floods conse-
quent upon the milder weather after an
unusually severe winter and extraordi-
nary snow fall have come, carrying
with them great devastation. On the
26th the Missouri river at Fort Pierre
began to rise. The ice soon broke up
and on the following day the river was
raging torrent, enormous blocks of ice
being carried along with the current
There was suddenly perceptible check
in the force Of the water, and 1t rose
quickly, as much as four feet in ten min
utes. A panic seized the residents of
Fort Pierre as the water came up to the
level of the place, and the people fled
pell nell to the bluffs. In short time
the water was up to the floors of all the
houses, but in few hours the gorge,
which had caused the sudden rise gave
way, and the water rapidly receded. A
number of houses were floated off and
others ruined.

ST.. PAUL, MINI. March 30.-A special
despatch to the Pioneer Press from
Pierre, Dakota, says: "the water is
falling and no more damage Is likely to
occur. The loss does not excede $50, 900.
Fort Pierre, on the opposite side of the
river, has suffered most. Only two or
three habitable houses are left. There
was no loss of life at either place." 1t
is thought that the officers and crew of
the steamer Far West, which was frozen
in twenty miles below Pierre, are lost.
OMAHA, March 30.-It is yet impossi-
BILE to procure particulars about the
towns in the Platt Valley inundation,

believed that a number of persons have
perished. The loss of stock and proper
ty counts up in hundreds of thousands.

THE LARGE number of cattle killed
by the severe winter in the far west will
have decided effect upon the price of
stock. That these reports are true is
beyond question, and letter we publish
from correspondent in the west adds
further testimony to that already given
by telegraphic dispatches. AS warm
weather approaches some disposition
must be made of these carcasses, or the
result will be bad for the health of those
sections of country.
