The GENOA FLooD.-Friday after

| The GENOA FLooD.-Friday afte.
noon the river above Springmeyer'i
became blocked with ice and over
flowed and advanced over bridges
and fields, crushing everything II
its path. A boy rode to Spring
meyer's to warn him, and he real
lzing the danger, sent half dozen
bows on horses to drive his stock
from the lowe pasture They ar
rived barely in time, for a formid-
able wall of ice five feet high was
advancing with the rapidity of a
trotting horse and pursued them at
distance of thirty feet until they
reached high ground. He reports
that the river never was SO full,
and the situation may be realized
when we say that there 10 not suffi-
cient water at Empire to ran the
mills. A dozen or more families
have moved cut, and one family of
father, wife and children with q
very young baby were compelled to
leave their house and remain all
night in the barn. The river is
banked up with ice varying from 4
to 10 feet high for distance Of over
three miles, and water stands four
feet deep in Springmeyer's orchard.
Mr.. Springneyer regards the
situation OF the mills as very pre-
carious and expresses grave fore
bodings if a sudden thaw should
come.
Already many houses are flooded
with about 4 feet OF water. At
the II mile house whore the
channel is narrower the bank of ice,
slush, etc., is over 20 feet high.
Between Chris Dangberg's and
Springneyer's and again at Fred
Dangberg's and also just above
Boyd's the country and the river
bed is covered with debris from
to 10 feet deep and the current
is above the bed of the river and
running crosswise of it.
