Inccnvsnlenoe Of Netting Snow and Rain.

CINCINNATI, December 24.-The great fall
of snow yesterday resulted in the distruc-
tion of numerous buildings of various di
mensions, including portions of several
large factories and mercantile establish
ments. The immense weight was too much
for some of the roofs covering extensive
buildings, and throughout the day crash
after crash was reported. Last
night the trouble continued, and at
that time, owing to the impossible condi-
tion of the streets and the dense fog, it
was impossible to determine the extent of
the after dark destruction. 1t is almost
impossible to place a rough guess on the
loss, but it will probably not reach much
beyond 81, 900, so far as reported.
