Disastrous Floods in the West

The Ohio river, Monday night, was s. feet
higher than its usual level, and higher than was
ever known before. Entire squares in Cincinnati
were completely inundated, many business
houses being flooded to the second stories. The
gas works were under water and the citizens
had to resort to lamps and candles The supply
of kerosene, too, was short, and of the twenty.
three railroads entering Cincinnati only two were
able to run trains. Several thousand families
were compelled to desert their homes and much
distress was felt. Relief committees were organ
lied, however, and contributions made for the
sufferers.
On Tuesday portion of the Cincinnati
Southern railroad depot collapsed and sank into
the water, throwing number of persons into
the water, of whom about seven or eight were
drowned. The water-works are idle and the
supply of water is only sufficient to last six
days.
A Louisville by the breaking of dam 81
squares were inundated. People were surprised
in their houses and with difficulty escaped In
boats. Houses were overturned and swept from
their foundations and several lives were lost.
At New Albany, Ind, the flood put out the
fires In the gas works furnaces, throwing 3,O0e
persons out of employ ment, and causing loss
reaching 100000 Five hundred persons were
obliged to abandon their houses.
A railroad bridge near Ottawa, Ill =, was under
mined by the fresbet and gave way, on Mon
day, while freight train was passing over II

IN MEMORY OF
ROSELLA AND GEORGE e.
Daughter and son of George and Elma s. Won.
ders, who departed this life, Jan. 0 and II,
1888, aged and years.
They are not dead; oh mother cease thy weep
oh father, dry thy tears;
Your little ones are In the Saviour's keeping,
For them we have no fears.
Oh, suffer to come to me these little children"
That gentle voice hath said;
Your darlings. therefore, rest with Him forever
And live, whom we call dead.
Around the Fathers throne they wait your COM
ing,
Immortal life their crown,
And anthems sweet forever will be chanting
Oh make this life your own!
Oh sad hearts breaking, bowed with deepest
Submissive bear your cross;
Some day will come to you bright tomorrow,
BY AUNT MoLLIE.
PRESTON On the 9th of December, after o
short illness, WILLIAM 7. PRESTON, depart
ed this life, age GA years, formerly of Hartford
county.
Past his suffering, past his pain,
Cease to weep for tears are vain;
Calm and peaceful lie his breast
For our dear father 10 at rest.
His busy hands are folded.
His work on earth is done,
His trials all are ended,
His Heavenly crown is won.
Farewell, dear wife and daughter and sons all,
From you father Christ does call;
Mourn not for me, 1t is in vain
To call me to your side again.
Human hands tried to save thee,
But signs and tears are all in vain;
Happy angels came and bore thee
From this weary world of pain.
Home s sad. oh God, how dreary,
Lonesome, lonely, every spot,
List'nipg for his voice till weary,
Weary for We hear " not.
