The Ohio River is now higher than it has been sine the great flood of 1S47. At 11:30 it za fifty-eight feet and six inches, and rising half an Inch an heur. High winds prevailed this mornina, and colder weather, with light snow. This will check the rise, though not immediately, asthe river is rising rapidly above. The wind has a niot injurious elfect on the railroad embankment in Mill Creek Valley, as the wave tend to crumble in the bank. There are serious fears that the track of the Cincinnati and Italtimore lload will be seriously injured. It is already abandoned, wing to injary t the Gest street bridge. All ireight buiiiiess is practically suspended. The Cincinnati Southern and the Cincinnati Northern are the only roads whose tracks are free from water. The obstruction of other tracks and the flooding of ide tracks of the Cincinnati Southern restricts business to the running? of passenger trains. The wind this morning blew down much telegraph line, and the business of the telegraph oltice was consequently in great contusion. 15 usi net-s in much retarded. The most serious loss this morning is the breaking away of eighteen barges of coal from Collier. "fudd A Co. There bei ng no steamers ready to rursue them, the chances are that thev will be los All coal yard are submerged and obliged to suspend business, threat iiicjiivenietico is causea by the flooding of the first floor of streets along the river front wive re yesterday only cellars were inundated. At J o'clock xo-night the river commenced falling slowly after" having stood four hours ut 5s feet, .'-' inche-. At 10 o'clock it had ful'enan in; !a and was supposed to be re-ccdii-g half an inch hour. Men with 11 fortes of labor can command are bu.y moving property from oeilar a'nrt tirst U ors to dry places. The individual lovts from direct damage will be small, but the aggregate will be great. At midnight to-i.ight tt:e river was titty-eight feet three and one-half inches, and was falling half an inch jut hour. THE EXTENT OF THE SLEET AN D WIKD-ST0RM. Chicago Feb. -I. I'rom the meager reorn and etlicial tflcgrams to the telegraph ollicials, it is leaiK-d that the sleet' and t wind storm, which has finally subsided, extendtd a!l over Io.va, Missouri, Western . and Southern Illiiioi, isoutlieTn Indiana, Ohio and Canada. Further E ist than t Iiis the conditio! of affaira is not known. The Western Union have large gang of men working iu nil directions, and gradually the wire are being repaired. Communication with all part oi the country will be doubtless restored be tote morning. THE STORM AT ROCK ISLAND. Rock Islaxo. Fe'. 21. The storm of sleet and snow had nut abated this afternoon. . Little damage i yet reported. All railroad., except the C, 1. aud2 , re reported in good order. IX ILLINOIS. Ciin-At:o, Feb. '21. The great storm has reachtd Chicago, and after raining steady yesterday and last night, the weather has grown much colder and snow has been falling since early this morning. Telegraphic communication in most all directions is seriously interferred will or entirely cut olF. A private dispatch from Rock Island, 111., says the storm raged so violently there last night, thru part of the great Government bridge there, a solid stone and iron structure, was blown down. Advices from Vandal's, 111. says O'Kaw Iiiver is out of its banks and the bottom land, tont prising an area of , some three cr . four miles square, is one vast sheet of water. An immense amount of live stock and lumber lias been swept away. The water is higher than at any t.rue since 137-5, and aa it is still rising, it is jrreafty feared that some of the bridges on the National lioad will be swept away. At Carlinville, I1L, it has rained for forty-eight hour. All trains bare been abandoned, bridges and liouses have been swept away, ami great damage has been done to firms situated in the low lands. EVERK 6TOEM. Pclctii, Mian., Feb. 21. A very severe and unusual storm for the season of the year prevailed here la-st night, . ceasing at daylight. Wind accompanied' by a driving snow biew a gale from the north, northear. The sea on Lake Superior ran high. All ice in the harbor was broken up. and shipping lying here for winter is now riding freely at anchor or along tide the docks. The temporary suspension bridge over the ciual was badly damaged and left almost impassible. The wind and wave have formed a huge breakwater of ice of barges along the exjxjsed shore. Considerable uow hu (alien during the day, and sleighing i now good. Pros-ects for .luraher.n-nre brightening. ST. I.&ri8 ASi ELSEWHERE. StI Lh-is, Feb. 2i. The weather turned very coid about 2 o'clock this morning, and the mercury sank several degrees below freezing point between that hour and day- . light, f he ground i frozen very hard thi morning, and all twill water had a coating of pretty thick ice. The river has risen over live leet since last evening, and now marks twenty-seven ami one-half feet bv the gauge. a total rise since tvindav of about seventeen feet. The rire now is much slower than yesterday, and the water will probably begin to fall agt in by to-morrow, itilroad travel is still very much interrupted. The only road which nt out train this morning were the Ohio an..! Mississippi, Cairo bhort Iine, St. Louis t Tkl rfan Francisco ami the Vandalia. The latter used the . and M. track to Odin, thence by the Illinois Central to its own road The. only train farm Chicago this nicming arrived oir the Vandalia Real and the only Rastern train came in by the same line. Incoming trtins on ail other roads are either . abandoned r indefinitely delayed. The 'hicairo and Alton, Chicago. I'urlington and Juincy and tfc Indianapolis and bt. Louisare stopped at Wood River, about twenty miles ironi he, and have washouts, bad feridjre, or overtksved tracks at various other places. The Vandalia and Louisville and Xashvijle are flooded at Silver Creek and other places. The Wabash, Eastern Division, has trouble beyond Alton and the Western Division Lad bad landslides between here and the Missouri River at lit. Charles. Oa the Müsouri Pacific there are several bad slides within fifty miles of the city and considerable track overflowed. The Keokuk aud' .St Louis is also under water at several places. The Iron Mountain, beside the landslide reported last night, has an extensive washout about sixteen miles below the city. The 8t. Louis and an Francisco has no serious damage. Trains have not beea stopped. All roads

are very busily employed repairing damages and the pp.'spectt arc that all trains wilMi running regularly in a day or two. T rise in the river here is said by the bet steamboat men to be unprecedented. No juth amount of water was ever known to come down so suddenly or in such a short space of time before. The rain-fall was also very unusual in quantity, amount to within l.T'iO of an ir.ch of as much as the average fall for the entire winter for the past eleven years. Telegraph 'lines west of here are still prostrated. SIX CHILDREN PEOWXEP. Littlk Rock, Feb. 21. The Gazette's Helena special says: "Xcws Teached here today of an accident on the plantation of the late Colonel F.llis. eleven miles below this citv, bv which six children were drowned. It seems that Charles Washington, colored, when he found the plantation would be overflowed last Friday, put his wife and six children into a dugout to take them to a place if safety. He had just started when the dufout caiized and all the children were drowned. Washington and wife were saved by clinging to the capsized boat, Th bereaved father was a hard-working man. Information has also just been received of the drowning of Moes Green, colored, on Villiard tc Coffin's plantation, on the Mississippi side, by the capsizing of a dugout." WIDEST-READ DEVASTATION. The Gazette's Helena special says: "The disaster cau?ed by the break in the levee at Williamson's place greatly prevented communication with the outside world to a c msiderable extent. The Iron Mountain Railroad track is submerged and the telegraph lines broken. The levee has been temjorarily rebuilt The only line of communication with West Helena is by means of skills and other small crafts. The prospect is very gloomy, as the oil mill, foundry and other industrial establishments are closed. Many workmen atid laborers are thrown out of employment. There can be little doubt great desiitition will result among the working clasv-es of this city, as it will be at least two weeks ere the water falls sufficiently to permit the resumption of business. The water is still rising, and will continue to do so a long as the present st?ge prevails in the river. The Mississippi is about on a stand-still at this jwint, and will probably be rising within the next forty-eight hours. Captain Carville, of the steamer Nick Jones, just in froai Sunk Lands, reports the river falling in the neighborhood of Lester's Landing, Mo., but an immense volume of water pouring into Si. Francis River from the Mississippi by way of Tyronza and Little Rivers and IJ'ackrish and other bayous. The outlook is not cheering for an early subsidence of the flooa at that place. The oflicers of every boat arriving at this port from above or below bring news of widespread devastation everywhere. In the bottoms contiguous to the Mississippi River 1,000 horses, mules and cattle have been drowned, miles cf fencing swept away, houses deslro3"ed and oom-cribs lloated off with their contents, in many instances leaving the teo I'lo without the actual necessaries. What Ihe end of this wil be none can tell, but it is evident relief will bo needed or many persons will die of starvation. Business is entirely at a standstill in this city. Merchants are despondent but are bearing it with courage. HEAVY SS0W FALL. Green Ray, Feb. 21. Snow has been falling lit re continually sinee 5 o'clock las: evening. Reports from neighboring logging camp say there has been a heavy snow fall. The Vruspect of a satisfactory logging harvest is greatly increased. AT LOflSVILLE. LorisTiLLE, Feb. 21. IJuiness is . played out on t lie wharf to-day owing o the river being too high! The canal muik showed thirty-five feet and two inches, and rising at the rate cf an inch n hour, with thirtythree feet in the chute cn the Fells and thirty feet and four inches over the rocks. LonsviLLKyFeb. 21. At Fourth street the water it on the first floor of Uilmore, llite A: Co., o'U" door below alloy. This was pist bne door below Woolfolk, over who-e lijor the rise of IHoT came. Karly in ths day apj rehensions began to be felt that gome of the buildings would give way and fall. F. J. Melcher is tht owner of the tnrce-story double brick on tt:e east side of the street. In one side be kept a grocery and in the o:her a ball room. Water invading the first story in the morning, he moved his goods up stairs. t?hortl. after this he noticed a cruc'k in the niiJdlf wall, and atonce removed his family. On returning the crack had widened to two or three inches, and in great alarm he hunted up Life-savers Devan. Tully and Gillooly and oflered them ?o00 if they would save his gooa. They took a life-boat and hags, and rowing out in front of the house, proceeded to get out goods through the second-story windows. There were four families living over the bar room part, and two over the grocery Melcher's and another. One laige load was tiken out including Melcher's piano and line furniture, and taken to the shore and landed, and the heroes returned for a second loul. Gillooly was in tie third story, Tully in the second, and Pevan'down in thebott. Only a few thing had been landed when a cra Ji was heard, the middle wall fell, and the whole house, from the roof to the ground Hoor with ail its contents, went down in the celhr. Thewi rkess had bare warning and Uilloly junif d from the third story and Tully from the second through the awning frame into the water below. Melchers and the other live families were without homes or gods and the life-savers had failed to earn their 300. From the foot of First street clear up to the cut-oil' ridge every building along the river front is under water, and many houses and coal offices have been washed away, and are drifting aimlessly aroiud against coal brages and boats. The embankment of the Short Line Railroad has been washed nwnyupto the ends of the cro ties, and the destruction of the track u threatened every moment. CALLS FOR BELIEF. Memphis, Feb. 21. A Helena (Ark.) special says: "The day epened with a strong wind blowing from tne north, and many congratulated themselves the cold snap would have a tendency to check the velume of water from the upper river, but their

hopes were dashed to the ground on the receipt of dispatches announcing flootl pouring down the Ohio and Missouri Rivers, The river here declined one-balf inch, but further material decline is not looked for. The situation is one that calls relief from some quarter. Every day reports reach here of numerous cases of almost actual want . among the people, both white and black in the submerged districts. Our citizens are becoruiii more reconciled to the situation and rapidly adapting themselves to t:ie inconveniences that surround them. at evansville. Rvanbvillk, Feb. 21. During the gale tost niglit the harbor tug. Uncle Buck, was swamped, and sunk on the warf at the foot of Main street. Two families were wrecked, and two men, two women and one child, were drowned. The Inhabitant of th Innndated Dig. tritt of the South on the Verge of StarvationThe Kiver nito. Memphis, Feb. 27. The river at this point uow marks thirty-five feet, three inches, which is up to the higher point reached this season, and continues to rise slowlj'. Reports from Crittenden, Miss., St. Francis and FhiLlips Counties, Ark., are to the e-Tect that gisat distress prevails among the inhabitants of the inundated district. Appeals for assistance are daijy received, and the picture drawn of the situation is gloomy. The rise from the Ohio River has again caused the ßt. Francis Hirer

to back, and the outlook to those who have been subsisting as best they could on rafts and ooopcu up in houses surrounded by water, is anything but hopeful. A large volume of water Is now ouriucc through the cut-eff above Osceola, Ark., which again finds its way back into the main stream ten miles above Helena, Ark. Great sutTering among the negroes is reported at Lacoucia Circle, where the water covers all the lands with a circumference of twenty miles. Ias of cattle and other stock continues both from drowning and starvation. This condition of affairs also exists to an alarming extent in the lower region of White River bottoms, which have been submerged to a depth of two to four feet. Speedy assistance must be rendered the sutlering or many will have a tragic ending. The Appeal's Helena, Ark., special says: i'Rain to day caused a rise of two inches in the overflow of the city, but had no perceptible elTect on the river, which is stationary, but erjcted to be rising to-night, and alarming reports of what is to come are current on the streets. It is generally believed the water will go from sixteen to eighteen inches above the recent rise, in the event of which we shall have serious trouble, and there is no way of estimating the damage which must ensue. The levees, however, arc being strengthened. It is hoied Helena will not be damaged by the current resulting from the break in the levee immediately protecting the city. During a thunder storm this afternoon a genuine water spout was observed in the river north of the city caused, it is supposed, by lightning striking the water. The only damage done was the partial paralyzing of a bout builder at work on a flat boat in the vicinity cf the thunderbolt. The Midland Railroad trains will probably discontinue running into the city after to-day, stopping at the junction three miles out. This is due to the increased depth of wnter over the track between this city and the junction."

A Seducer Shot. Special to the Sentinel : Macomb, III., Feb. 21. A terrible shooting affray occurred at 10 o'clock last night on the Chicago, Turlington and imincy traiu between Bardolpa aDd Bitshaell, about nine miles from here. A fellow named Charles Scott eloped Wednesday morning from Kansas City with Mrs. A. J. I'.rad field, leaving for the East via the Hannibal aud St Joseph. The Irate husband learned of their flight, and boarded the same traiu, taking the fi'.eeping-ear, while Scott aud the womm were iu one of the day coaches. Just after the train passed fits city Braafleld went f jrward aud found the guilty pair. A u angry discussion followed. Bradfield claims that Scott attempted to draw a revolver, when he pulled his weapon and got the drop, firing four shots, one striking hlra in the h .ml, ouo in the ribs, one iu the breast, aud an ctier in the face. The wounded man wa3 taken off the train at Bushuell, iu which place ho now lies in a hiir way to recovery. Mrs. Bradli-U is nursiiis him. Bradfleld delivered hlmitlf up to the authorities and has beea bound over inj00 bends. The parents of both Mr. and il rs. Bradfiel J live in Bushneil, aad are among the prominent citizens of thav place. Krau field avenses Scott with twins too intimate wifti hi wife, and shot him to avenge the wronij he hr.d received. Mrs. B.-a.lfield d;iue3 the intimacy. Scott was a ineraoerof the firm of Scott & .iriCiLh, druggist, ot Kansas City, which suspend' d two or three iiiouthj and BradQold traveled forVoudo, Bidd'.a fc Co., of the sme city, until the fiM cf last July, siaee when he has beea with a Chicago house. Fraud in th Land department. Wasiiinot '."f. Feb. 2ti. Senator Van wvck in his speech Friday against frauds in t tie Land Department made direct Charge. Jl drclaied an organized ring is robbing the Government by means of these towiuhip t urvevs. Under the 4aw a township site can bi surveyed by dojosUiiig t any Government Cf iository an estimated amount of the cost of me suivev.in return kr which the party making the deposits is given land rer tiricates, which are receivable in. payment for Government lands anywhere. The original la.v made these certificates receivable oiilv for land in the township surveyed, and it a fact the records show since tho amend ment to the law making them generally receivable there has bpen an enormous increase in these surveys. Vatiwyck changes the ring surveys townships where the land is abso lutelv worthle.-s a:id use the certificates to purchase valuable lands elsewhere. Charges tint the surveyors general are in the ring. and thry give out contracts for surveys to members at ligures largely in excess of the cost. In proof of these charges he cites the fact tnat the names of the same parties appear on the records of the General Land Ollica as contractors for making these surveys in Arizona, California, Idaho, Ne braska and Nevada. A table showing the remarkable increase in these surveys was presented by Vanwyck. It shows operations under this survey system are costing the Government hiillions of dollars and that the expenses in this direction continue to in crease yearly. Ladies' Autl-l'olyf amy Isetmg. St. Lake, Feb. 27. A meeting of the Ladies' Anti-I'olyganiy Society last night adopted the following resolution: Wherea.

They said they were extending into other Territories; no power on earth or in hell could stay them. Congress inuht take away their votes and be damned they would be damned anyhow. SInch Ado About Nothing. Omaha, Neb., Feb. 25. A special to the aent of the Associated Rress from Wahoo, states that early this morning a party of masked men broke in the Independent olfice for the purpose of destroying the press and material. They entered by the rear door, lighted a lamp, and commenced the work of destruction. They were suddenly confronted by one of the publishers and a son of the editor with pistols, who told them to throw up their hands. The party did so. One of the intruders, hid behind the door, caught the pistol in the band of one of the publishers and a melee ensued. The burglars recovered from their surprise, rallied and overpowered those on guard and captured the pistols. The burglars then fled, fearing discovery, The editors declare the deed was the act of malicious persons who had a grudge against the paper. Accidentally Killed. Special to the Seatlnel: .

roKKiqs NEWS. . Inquiry Into tho "Working of the Laad Act. 1xxdo5, Feb. 27. Two hundred members of Parliament were present at the Liberal meeting at Gladstone's residence to-day, including all well-known members of the party. Proceedings private. It is learned Gladstone explained the importance of the proceeding with a resolution in regard to the working of the land bills, itsd his views seemed to meet general assent. , The opposition and Irish members can, if they resort only to moderately obstructive tactics, prolong debate in the House

of Commons on Gladstone's motion, concerning the action of the House of Lords, ntil the Laster recess. The Daily News points out that, if this happens arid tho discussion of the rules of proccdnre ba to be postponed until alter Raster, it will be imtosi-ible to pass a simile measure announced m the Queen's speech. It will be no wonder, under these circum stances, if the people begin to ask what is 1ip practical bentht ot the existence of a House ol Reers. in the Commons to-day, Gladstone moving a iHjstpor.ement of the orders of the day in favor of hi3 re-blution declaring the uniuiry into the working ol the Land Act to be injurious to the Interests of good government in Ireland said, if the judicial administration of the Land Act be excluded from the scope ot the House of Lords' inquiry, lie would be prepared to abstain from moving his resolution, but that a he saw no prosectof such limitation, 'twas his duty to persevere. Northcote said he thought this announcement was an additional reason for giving the Lords time to consider. The motion to postpone was adopted i)00 against 107. With reference to Iiis vote, it is stated Gladtone at the Liberal meeting at his house today said he would treat the adverse vote ou this point as one of want of confidence. Gladstone hoped during the main discussion his supporters would confine themselves to the Government's objection fo any attack upon the Judicial oeration of the Land Act by the Government. He said he had no objection to inquiry into the general working oi the act or questions of emigra tion and reclamation of land. Förster declared the Government needed the whole support of Parliament to uphold law in Ireland. Mitchell Henry confirmed the statement that the condition of Ireland is serious, and said that in the event of a ceneral election seventy 1'arnellitea would be returned.

Mr. l'axton, of Washington, wlwlias just accepted a call to the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church ol New lork, at a salary of $13,000, is a young man with a record, lie is the in of poor and humble parents, and secured his education by his own exertions. In the winter of Psfiü-l he was a student at Washington and Jefferson College, Pennsylvania, and his room-mate was a young man named Cooper, from East Tennessee. They were brothers in afTVction, had sworn eternal friendship, and the enly dillerenee that ever arose between them was the question involving the future of the Nation. Cooper was the son of a slaveholder, and defended the right of his native State to secede. Paxton was an impetuou abolitionist, and protested against disunion. Dot were earnest Chris tian men. Upon their return from prayer-meeting one night in April, 1SG1, they heard the news that sent a thrill of excitement through every pulse in the land. Fort Sumter had been fired niton. They went to their room and discussed the event. Pot Ii were too earnest to talk calmly; and hard words led to blows. For two hours tho-e young men fought i:i their room, until the furniture was broken into splinters, and both were covered with wounds and bruises. They separated only when they were exhausted. Cooler packed hi trunk ar.d left for Tennessee in the mon ing, joint d the Confederate Army, rose to the command of a regi ment which was ot-.e of the lat to surrender, and is now the leader of the "Debt-paying Democrats" in the Tennessee Legislature. Paxton went to Philadelphia, enlisted as a private and fought through the War in the ranks. The two men met several times in battle, unknown to each other. Afierlhe War Paxton returned to College, studied theology and was called to preach at-IIarris-burg. Senator Cameron, who attended bis ministrations, recommended him to the New York Avenue Presbyterian Church of Washington four years ago, and he has served as its pastor with prent success. Scon after, he wont to Washington he was announced to deliver a lecture en "The Private Soldier in the War." Colonel Cooper happened to be in Washington, saw the amnouncement, and attended the leciuie. rie heard the story cf the light between the two college students told to the public, and when the address was ended went to the platform and extended his hand. Mr. Paxton recognized him at once, their old brotherly relations were renewed after an interval of nearly twenty years, and Mr. Paxton, who is fond of telling this story, always remarks as he concludes it, "the War is over now." A singularly interesting case was lately re ferred to by the Urooklyn Eagle. It was told by Mr. W. A. Daventort, connected with the house of Messrs. Putier, Pitken fc Co., 476 Broadway, New York, and con cerned the marvelous cure of Mr. Ezra D. Clarkson. near Newark, N. J., of a terrible case of rheumatism, which other remedies had failed even to alleviate. He was on his way to a Hospital when Mr. Davenport met

him and indnced him to try Sr. Jacobs Oil. with the result named. Cleveland (O.) Practical Farmer.
