ESPECIAL TO TIE SEStiNELsl
LOUISVILLE (Ky.), Feb. ga two-story
frame house on Hancock street, occupied
by a negro named John Legree, was swept
off its foundation. The family were sit
ting at breakfast, and had no warning Of
the food until it struck the house with q
crash, and bursting open the door flooded
the room. Everything was upset, the
stove thrown over, and a lamp dropped
upon the bed, setting it on fire. The
flames. however, were soon extinguished.
The whole family scrambled upstairs and
stood at the door watching the water creep
up inch by inch, until it touched the floor
beneath their feet. They were finally
rescued. The water struck the Kentucky
rolling mill like a tornado, sweeping every
thing off the ground floor and effectually
ducking several OF the workmen. For
about two squares east Of where the dis
aster occurred the ground is very low.
The water flooded it completely, filing the
houses, in many instances, up to the
second story. The scene ia one Of the
utmost desolation, and the sufferings Of
many poor persons are great. The slough
at the cutoff remains unchanged, ave
where the water has sunk in several places,
leaving indelible traces behind. The
river has been going down an inch an
hour since Wednesday noon. All the
tributaries Of the Ohio are falling.
