Quincy, ILL.,. March 27.-The flood stu

the course of the Mississippi river in the
next few days will be watched with the
greatest anxiety. The river is II feet

ing up. The bottoms are submerged al
most to the bluffs, and the river is now
seven miles wide. Most of the people
have fled to the hills for safety, but

living in the upper stories, and boats
have been substituted for wagons. In

in state of terror, and most of them
have added boats to their farm equip

flood comes upon them.

here. A like condition has never before
been known.

ter crowded over them in places, while
in others they are sloughing off.
