Hundreds of Houses Surrounded by Water

BUFFALO, n. Y, Dec. 1S.-The flood
disaster in South Buffalo proves to be
of the greatest magnitude The part
of the city devastated is not thicxly
populated, but it is estimated that at
least 500 houses are surrounded
with water of depth ranging
from 3 to 5 feet, and that fully
$500 people have been driven from
their homes. Thirty miles of streets
and all adjacent land except the en-
banlkments thrown up for railroads are
under water. The submerged section,
if squared, would extend 80 miles each
way. Buffalo river and Cazenovia
creek are lost in the food. The whole
section is vast sea of water.
