at Vicksburg between Q. III. yesterday and
 B. m to-day, being feet , inches above
 the danger line. As the flood sweeps down
 ward the cotton and sugar plantations will be further damaged The disaster is most ruin- ous not only to planters, but merchants. New Orleans is considered safe, though a further rise of few inches is expected. The over flow has furnished considerable arguments in favor of national treatment of the Mississippi and has shown the defects and advantages of the proposed engineering systems.
 The condition of the overhewed districts in this State becomes more critical every day. The breaks in the levees continue. The last one was in Ships Bayou, where the water broke through levee twenty-two feet high and it will overflow Tensas and Concordia parishes. There are miles of levees in bad condition and are likely to break under the pressure of the recent rise above. The ap- plicants for relief exceed the supply. One hundred and fifty thousand ratlons were sent up the interior streams to-day by the commissioners.
 CHICAGO. March 15-Despatches from the South today report the water falling from Cairo to Helena, the decline at the latter point being four inches since Monday night. But each day reveals new cases of suffering, death, and loss of property. There are still many places from which no reports have been received, their distance from the river and inaccessibility, except by small craft, render ing it impossible to reach them, but active measures are being taken to send out relief expeditions in skiffs, the density of the for ests in many instances rendering it impossi- ble to use larger boats. The latest despatch es as well as statements received from per sons who have arrived here from the inun- dated districts show that all previous esti- mates of the losses of stock and other prop erty were understated. From Vicksburg down the situation is, if possible, more criti- cal than at any previous time.

A Terrific Boiler Explosion,

LYNN, March 15.-A boiler explosion oc- cured at GAO o'clock this morning in the three story wooden structure in the rear of Spring street, owned by A. T. Goodwin. The boiler was one of fifty horse power and is thought to have been defective The building was utterly demolished as well as two ad- joining buildings All the others in the vii cinity were seriously shaken, shattering their glass completely. The top section of the boiler, weighing ton, thrown over four story building, 8 distance of 2,OOO feet, and partly demolished two residences. Other fragments were thrown great distances, doing some damage. John B. Moore, engineer was thrown fifty feet and his 1ifeless remains were found in the basement of the building The body of Peter Doyle was also found in the ruins. William Quereaux was in the water closet of an adjoining building, which was de- molished. and he was taken from the ruins probably fatally injured. Stephen Hauson, D. s. Thrasher and one or two others in the vicinity were injured. Engineer Moore was a capable man and leaves family It is re- ported he had had fears of the soundness of the boiler for some time back. The building was situated in the center of 8 large shoe manufacturing district, and had the explo- sion taken place half an hour later the loss of life would have been appalling, as hundreds of boot and shoe operatives would have been at work within flow feet of the building. Fifty people work in the building above the boiler, but fortunately they had not yet ar rived when the explosion occurred. The loss will amount to over SIO,O0O
