Shawnee river, which was swollen in II few
moments SO as TO inundate all the banks
and neighboring streets, sweeping away
or totally running more than 100 houses
Many were swept down the current with
families in them One of these that Of
Aaron Ferguson, contained nine persons
of his own. family and three of John

risked his life by throwing himself
into the current and floating against the
house, and with rope in his hands sue
ceeded in saving the inmates of the house
by means of n boat. twenty-five dead
bodies were taken out of the stream and
many more are supposed to be lost. The
Pan Handle railroad, including its embank-
ments, is n total wreck in the vicinity.
The greatest excitement prevails. Many
narrowing stories are narrated, a family
named Morris was noated away in their
house and drowned with the exception Of
one child about seven years old, who was
found the next morning clinging to a tree.
The condition of the town is sickening
Groans of the wounded fill the air and
whole families have been killed. Over a
mile of the Little Miami railroad is com
pletely gone and no train can be run.
The nearest approach is Dresden junction.
Xenia is the county seat Of Green coun'
ty and is equally distant-about 80 miles
from Cincinnati and Columbus, little
west of the line passing through the three
places. 1t has a population of about 49,
600. 1t was n well built, handsome little
city, containing many fine public buildings
and private residences. There were several
extensive manufacturing establishments,
including planning mills, glass works, oil
mills marble and granite works, etc. 1t

and include 30 buildings. A Methodist
college and United Presbyterian theological
seminary are also situated there. WILDER

education of the colored youth of both
sexes is just outside the city.
Springfield, Lebanon, Cincinnati and
adjacent villages suffered heavy losses,
the total of which will amount to hundreds
OF thousands of dollars Dwelling houses
are swept away, manufactures completely
inundated and bridges carried away. Nc
loss of life is reported at these places, but
very many narrow escapes are recorded
