at the rate of one and half inches per

Predictions are freely made and general
ly believed, from all that is known of the
situation above, that the water will reach

SHADOW OF GLOOM OVER THE CITY.
The worldly, pleasure seeking city of
Cincinnati is enveloped in deep gloom. A
depressed feeling pervades all classes and
conditions of life. The suspense is terrible,
and each hour unfolds some new tale of
disaster and calamity. The slowly upward
creep of the waters is portentous to build :
ings already engulped, and to the terri
bic loss Of property is now added the alb :
sence of gas, scarcity of water, through the
stoppnge of the water works. engines and
pumps, and the more terrible cry of dis
tress heard from tens of thousands along
| the banks of the turbulent stream, through
territory covering nearly 500 miles.
Any one familiar with the city will bet
ter understand the height of the riyer when
they know that small boats ply between
Walnut and Main on Pearl street, and
travellers over the Cincinnati Southern
will perhaps appreciate the condition Of
affairs by my saying there is four and
pot, where the trains first arrive, and the
entire street leading from this point to the
street car line in the south is one unbrok-
| en- sheet of water. The large manufacto-
ries in the bottoms are submerged to the
second story, and the tremendous whole
sale buildings South of Pearl street stand
from three to twenty-five feet in water.
The current in these localities is very
strong and there is imminent danger of th e
FOUNDATIONS being undermined
OUTSIDE THE CITY.
"Frightful'' does not half describe the
condition of affairs along the river. Some
small towns are entirely swept away and
the majority are entirely under water.
The most pa aetic appeals for assistance
come from everywhere. The misery and
destruction is far reaching and most dire-
ful in its results. The destruction exceeds
belief, and battles all attempts at descrip-
ton. Houses were twirled from their
foundations and buried under the terrible
flood. Thousands upon thousands are
homeless, without'any means of subsistence
and are dependent alone on the charities
of the world.

Hsw TO Treat Sandy and Clay Soils.

Mechanics in Education.

A Pet Mouse.

OF all the singular instances reported
of human intelligence developed in ami
mails, one Of the most peculiar exists in
the family of Mr.. Mahlon G. Chockwith,
residing on Penn avenue, in this city.
The wonderful little animal is common
house mouse ami the pet of Miss Lizzie,
Mr.. Chockwith's youngest daughter. 1t
was caught in a trap last spring, and
when about to be drowned in pail of
water was rescued by Miss Lizzie, for
whom it soon formed q strong attach
ment. 1t always accompanies her about
the house. and makes its bed in her
work basket. Miss Lizzie is very fond
of crocheting, and the mouse, which she
has named .Little Billy" would sit on
the table watching her by the hour, APP
parently deeply interested. On several
occasions when the young lady laid down
her work Little Billy" would at
tempt to take up the crochet needle
and follow her motions. The thought
at last occurred to her that he desired to
learn crocheting. She procured small
crocheAheedle and fastening it to fore
paw with narrow ribbon, gave him
some Macreme cord to practice with. 1t
learned slowly at first, but with the
careful and patient attention of its miss
tress Little Billy ultimately oyercame
the intricacies of the stitch. and now
crochets as industriously as its young
mistress. 1t has already crocheted Itself
nubia and small bed spread, and it is
now engaged OH q wooden hood for Miss
Lizzie. 1t is quite curiosity in the
vicinity, and is indeed one of the most
singular instances of a human intelli-
gence existing in an animal that has
ever been made known Philadelphia
