People of the Ohio valley may posi-
bly, be consoled by statements that 9TH
ers have suffered greater calamities
from floods. They are reminded that
over one hundred thousand lives were
lost by one food in Holland and that
whole provinces have been washed away.
The flood on the Rhine two years ago was
more appalling than that on the Ohio
of this year. That on the Thesis at
Szegedin in Hungary few years since
was far more awful in the loss of life.
The river Pc in the north of Italy has
visited destruction on the people of that
country from time immemorial, though
levees to the height of thirty feet have
been constructed to turn back the floods.
The great Hoang-Ho of China has in
;tlicted more loss of life than all the
rivers of Europe and America combined,
and this despite the marvellous levees,
said to be hundred feet high, raised
to hold its waters. But it is curious
fact that the valleys of oil these streams
are still densely populated; therefore, it
=, may be presumed that the floods in the
valley of the Ohio, though of frequent
occurrence, will have no marked effect
