VANCEPoRT, ALLEGHENY Co., Pa,
Feb. 9, 1883.
To the Editors of the Standard:
This is small village, consisting Of
sixteen dwellings, two store rooms
and the station house, but there are
several other building at the present.
The Pittsburgh and Lake Erie Rail
road running through it is bringing
property up very high, and it also
being along the Ohio River. Proper
ty can scarcely be bought for either
money or love. For several days the
Ohio has been very high but is now
falling. Last Monday the Allegheny
ice broke and the river was to the top
of the bank. Logs, bridges and
houses, were to be seen going down
the river. People living on the bank
of the Allegheny were moving out, to
escape danger. There were three boys
going across a covered bridge at Oil
City, and the bridge gave way; one
was rescued, and the other two were
drowned Their cries were terrible to
hear. The boats are four days behind
time, being delayed on account of
water.
This is a warm, sunny day, more
like April than February. Boats are
making ready to start out from Pitts
burgh down the Ohio on Monday, and
as my home is in Jackson county, I
think 1 will go on one of them.
This is nice country yet | can't
say that l like it as we'll as Ohio. I
have been here visiting four months,
and without the Jackson papers I
could not haye stayed so long; but
they were home news to me. I get
your paper every Friday, also the
Journal | notice a great many
deaths since came away in that vi
cinity. As I deem it necessary for
me to quit for this time, will not
say more.

The Great Flood.

we puUlISu du Interesting IoGLeI
from Mrs. Dever, of Portsmouth, and
one from Miss Onstott from up the
river So great a flood on the Ohio
has never been known. The gas works
in Cincinnati have been flooded, and
the city is in darkness. The destruc-
ton of property in that city alone will
reach the millions.
PORTSMOUTH, O., Feb. II, 1883.
To the Editors of the Standard:
The floods Of the past which have
carried destruction, desolation, and
death over many portions of the Uni
ted States, is now disastrous to our
city. On Wednesday last the Ohio
commenced rising, and continued to
rise until Friday, and then it COM
menced falling; but it arose to the
height that the water came up to the
Biggs House. A great portion of the
east end of the city was immerged in
water, and all the low ground in the
eastern and northern part Of the city,
as we'll as the low ground on Third and
Fourth streets. During the short
space Of time the river was falling,
there was great rejoicing among the
citizens, thinking it had all passed; !;
but to their great dissatisfaction and
astonishment, the river commenced
rising at 2 o'clock this morning, and
at the present writing, four o'clock P
M, it has raised about two feet higher
than it was last Friday, and it is still
rising about II inches an hour. Du-
ring the entire time Of the food great
excitement prevailed throughout the
entire city, but none so great as to-day.
Nearly all the teams in the city were
employed, and great many carpen-
ters busy making John boats to move
families. The streets are thronged
with moving mass of people. Over
three hundred houses are under water,
and it is hard to estimate the number
of families, who one week ago enjoyed
the sweet comforts of their own dom
icil, have by the interference Of the
raging waters had to seek shelter else
where. | think | am safe in saying it
will be near 500 families; and for the
purpose of accommodating them the
citizens are doing all they can for
their comfort. School-houses, churches,
englne-house, woolen factory, stables,
barns, and great many dwelling
houses have been opened free to all
those who have no other place to 60.
Proper arrangements have been made
to furnish them provisions, &c. The
damage by the food here can hardly
be estimated; all the rolling-mills,
foundries, machine works, shoe fac
tories, and all the principal manufac-
tories are either flooded or have been
compelled to suspend operation, and a
great many other business houses. In
fact, most all the business here is sus-
pended. At 7 o'clock P. M. the river
is still rising D inches an hour, and at
II P. M. 28 inches an hour.
Monday morning. Z o'clock, the riv-
er is rising about an inch an hour.
The water extends now from the
corner of Fifth and Chillicothe streets
nearly to Second street, and from the
corner of Chillicothe and Eighth to
Twelfth streets, which only leaves

In the year 1851, when the people
voted directly for and against license
the vote of Jackson county stood for
license 461, against, 591. Majority
against, 13o.
In the year 1874 another direct vote
was taken upon the same question,
and the vote in this county stood for
license 1,OO1, against, 1878. Majority
against license, 377.
We do not know what the result
would be next fall, were the question
again submitted, but we believe the
majority against license would be
some where between 500 and 1000.

He is opposed to the adoption of the
proposition by the people, but he is in
favor Of that course that will enable
the people to carry out that old Dem

is in favor Of a judicious license law.

The Commercial Gazette enters IA
protest against keeping a military
guard at the grave of the late Presi-
dent Garfield. 1t is stated that the
officer of the guard-as each new re-
lief comes on duty-is required to
open the coffin and see that the body
is there, as the object Of the guard
being there at all, is said to be to pre-
vent grave-robbers from stealing the
body. Well, there are beings low
enough to do that very thing, and if
the guard had not been there, possibly
the body would not now be there.
Yet it is revolving to think of the
tomb being profaned, several times a
day, by those acting as guard.
