Coming Leap-Ye

A correspondent writes TO inquire II
1900 is a leap-year, In Catholic and
Protestant countries the year 1900 will
not be a leap-year, they all having
adopted the Gregorian calendar In
countries where the Greek Church is es-
tablished PRUSSIA and Greece, the old
Julian calendar still holds, and those
countries will count it n leap-year.
After February 1900, therefore, the diff
ference between the two calendars,
which is now twelve days, will become
thirteen days, and will remain so until
POO, the year 20O0 being leap-year in
both theJulian and Gregorian calendars
The rule for leap.year may he thus
stated, according to the Gregorian cal
endar, which differs from the Julian
only in special treatment of the CEN
tury years; All years whose index num-
Der (l8S3 is the index number Of the
present year, is divisible by four are
leap-years; unless (l) their index Num-
Der Is divisible by 100 Century years.
IN mat case they are not leap-years, un.
less (2) their index number Is divisiblc
by 400; in which case they arc leap.
years Thus, 1900 1900, 1900 and 2l0C
are not leap-yeara, while 1900, 20OO anc
2I00 are. 49, The Critic

The River FlO0ds-AaDisGstrous Rise in
 the OhiO-Greet Damage to Property.
 CINCINNATI, Dec. 26.-The Ohio river is still booming and rising at the rate of four inches per hour with forty-five feet three in- ches in the channel at the waterworks gauge. Navigation is much delayed and the boats are over due on account of driftwood. Business men in the bottoms are rapidly removing their goods to places of safety. The water crept over Water street during Iast night and now covers the ground floors of Rat and Sausage rows to depth of six inches. The inhabitants are moving to places of safety. In the east end of Water street it is flooded for many squares. The cellars of many of the large business houses on Front street are filled with water. Should the rise continue at the present rate until night, the losses will be great. At Newport the Licking is still rising, although the danger is believed to be over. No further damage to property has occsrred since the last report in Covington CT Newport. On Rolling Fork, Harding county, a saw mill was washed away. Nick Peters and William Shonahan were drowned while endeavoring to save it. The mill and buildings were valued at $5, 600.
 At o'clock tonight the Ohio had attained 8 depth of forty eight feet two inches in the channel and was gradually rising at the rate of two inches per hour, falling off of sev- eral inches in the rate since noon. There is no further damage to report on account of the flood either at Covington, Newport or this place. The general opinion among we'll posted rivermen is that with the present condition of the weather the river will reach it's highest point at midnight, after which time a rapid fall is looked for.
