OHIO'S WICKED WATERS.
AT WHEELING.

The sudden rise of the Ohio river
which commenced OH Sunday evening
did great deal more damage at Wheel
ing and neighboring towns than usua
with high waters, for the reason that il
was so unexpected, the lirst knowledge
the people having of it, being the high
water on Monday morning. and the re-
ports from above of more water rapidly
coming. At noon on Monday there was
81 feet inches at Wheeling, and rising
at the rate of six inches an hour. and the
entire stream, from bank to bank, was
covered with very heavy ice, seething
and boiling, and carrying with it logs.
boards, broken barges and property of
all kinds. The water was over the banks
in several places on the Island, but not
much damage was done. The Fair
Grounds were submerged and some dam
age done to fences, &c. On Tuesday at
l o'clock the marks showed 81 feet in
the channel, at which time the lower
portion of the city, and all the houses
along the river bank, were more or less
submerged and damaged by water, ma
jority of the residents moving to their
second stories or vacating their houses
Tie merchants on Main street had to
remove the goods frOm their cellars as
many OF them had several feet of water
in them. At this time it was noticed
that the water had begin to recede, and
calmer feeling prevailed. 1t continued
to fall until midnight of Tuesday, when
the heavy and continuous rain of that
night started it upwards again, and it is
reported still rising at this time-neon,
Wednesday.
AT MARTINS FERRY.
At Martins Ferry the Laughln Mill
was obliged to shut down on account of
the water coming into the fy-wheel pit.
The town was generally high and dry
above the water
AT BRIDGEPORT.
The most of the water, ice and drifting
property went down the back river, and
great deal was caught at this point
A man was seen floating down on cake
of ice, vino, it was presumed, had frozen
to death, but it was impossible TO recover
the body.
AT BELLAIRE.
The Second Ward of Bellaire was cov-
cred with water, which averaged from
three to eight feet all over the neighbOr-
mood. Families who were fortunate
enough to have two story houses moved
upstairs, but those whose houses only
had one story were obliged to vacate. At
Manly's wharf boat $1,000 damage was
done. Sixteen barges, two flats and 3d.
900 feet of lumber belonging to the
George Lysle were torn away, and went
| floating down the river with thousands
of dollars worth of other property. Hav-
ing prolited by former experience no
damage was done to the manufactures,
as they were mostly prepared for even
higher water. The rolling mill shut
down on account of water in the fly
