SUFFERERS BY THE FLOOD.

The Register extends it's con-
dolences and sympathy to those, rich
and poor, who have suffered incon-
venience or loss by reason of the
present disastrous and widespread
flood. 1t came almost unawares, with
large resulting embarrassment to.bus
mess and the entailment of very con-
siderable direct expenditure upon
hundreds and thousands in this COM
munity and in cities and towns init
mately and directly connected with
Wheeling. The calamity could neither
be foreseen, prevented nor provided
AGAINST. except in the way of hustling
perishable property out of reach of
the rising water, and that work was
performed with celebrity and eypedi-
ton which well illustrates the ability
of our people to meet and guard
against changing and adverse condi-
lions.
Much of the work done yesterday
and last night may have been unneces-
sary, but it was the result of energy
expended upon, the safe side, and all
are to be congratulated upon the re-
suit. 1t might, very easily have been
much worse all around.
