ANGRY WATERS.
The Ohio River Almost as High as
1t Was Last Year-Louisville
Again Under Water.
Danger That the Flood Of 1883
Will be Surpassed.

The rains throughout the Ohio
valley continue and the Ohio River
and its tributaries continue to rise
from day to day. On Saturday the
river had come to q stand at Louis
vile, but the rainy weather still con-
tinues and it is certain to rise still
higher. The greatest flood ON record
was in 1888, when the water at Lou
isville measured Al feet 6 inches. 1t
was thought it would be a century
before another such rise would come,
but it seems that worse one is now
imminent. On Saturday night the
water was 40 feet inches and on a
stand at Louisville, but rising at Gin
cinnati and points above. This is
within 4 feet l inch of the register of
last year with good prospect for a
further rise. The whole of that por-
ton of Louisville called the "Point'
is now ten or fifteen feet under water.
There are over 500 families hFing
on the point" most of the houses
being one-story cottages. All of
these are submerged to the caves.
Only 46 families remain; these have
taken refuge in the upper stories of
their houses and keep skiffs ready to
get out in case of a further rise. This
is the same territory that was flood
ed last year. When il is remcm-
bcred that the elevation of the entire
city is such that rise of the river to
AZ feet and 6 inches would submerge
every part of ii, the situation is in
deed alarming. New Albany and
Jacksonville, Ind, are all flooded
and nearly all cities and towns on
the river are under water to a greater
or less extent. The food seems to
be general all over the valley drained
by the Ohio, and its tributaries con-
tinue to swell thc.volume of muddy
water.

A Flying Visit to Pembroke and

in population, and is composed of
true, honorable and upright Ken
tuckians. The business houses here
are, some Of them, quite large, and
are filed with handsome stocks of
goods. After partaking of an excel
lent dinner at the hotel de Smith,
train time arrived again, and with re-
greet | was compelled to mount the
iron horse which carried me safely
to the nice little town of
TRENTON,
where / was greeted with the same
cordially through the kindness of
Alessrs d. S. lIord and Jno. III. Wood,
who spared neither time, money nor
labor to make me feel as though l
had been Trentonite for years.
Here spent the remainder of the
day in communicating with the mer-
chants and scanning the handsome
and well-stocked houses who patron
lied me handsomely. Trenton is in
population about 800 strong, with a
go-ahead people, and it bids fair to be-
come, at no distant day, one of the
leading towns on this line ofrailroad.
The people are hard workers, clever
and accommodating and have every
thing that one could wish. Those
who would enjoy themselves hugely
should go TO Trenton next Friday
and attend the grand entertainment
at Trenton Hall, which has been un-
Ter rehearsal for some days by home
talent. If you are a stranger, ask for

the last week or two that she has sent for
samples, and has not made single purchase.
