The water ran Into houses miles from the river, and absolutely ruined hundreds of dollars worm of furniture; and scores of families have been forced to abandon their homes and seek shel ter In s.'jeJs and tents. Sued awful destruction was never known before, and the more fortunate, a little farther from the rivers eai in the ci’ie.s. have been forced to r *nJ provisions to the hungry people, many ci-jpa almost read to house.
