New York, March 27th-Appalling floods
have occurred throughout Ohio, Indiana
and adjoining States. Over one Thousand
lives have been lost in Ohio, and perhaps
two thousand altogether, including upwards
OF five hundred persons at Dayton, three
hundred at Peru and scores IN many cities.
The Ohio Legislature has appropriated
2 5000 dollars for relief, and President Will
son has appealed for assistance throughout
the United States. The reports of the lam
age are indefinite, some estimating it at
twenty million dollars, but perhaps it is dou-
bic that amount. Scores of thousands are
homeless except for relations and tents for
fifty thousand persons, supplied from the
army stores. The militia are assisting and
policing the districts. The railways are
stopped and telephones and telegraphs in
terrupted, but altogether the reports are in
adequate and doubtless inaccurate.

public opportunity of expressing on behalf
