THE MEXICAN WAR.

Dayton as the county seat, and as the center of population, was naturally rallying-point for enlistment of soldiers, and of rendezvous for troops in the of 1812, the Mexican war, and the war of the rebellion, yet the history of eve in each of the three wars named, properly belongs in the county history.

Company organizations for the Mexican war had been partially effec before the eall for troops was issued; yet when the eall was issued, men from parts of the county responded; Dayton was the center of the exciting events.

Militiamen were greatly interested in the military movements on the Grande, and in the probability of a eall being issued for volunteers.

The evening of May 20, 1846, the Dayton National Guard at their armory Second street were addressed by Capt. Hormell, in a brief and patriotie speech the elose of which, he ealled for volunteers for the war, and in response, the wh company stepped to the front for enlistment.

A number of the Dayton Dragoons, Capt. Giddings, signed a roll for enl ment. Maj. Thomas B. Tilton had recruited twenty-five of the Dayton C Squad. The evening of the 21st, a meeting of eitizens of the county was held the City Hall, and from that time men came in from all parts of the county enlist.

Business in the city was almost entirely suspended from the 27th of M until June 5, and the excitement was kept up until after the departure of Cal Stout's company on the 9th.

THE FLOOD OF 1847.

The rivers were so swollen in the latter part of December, 1846, as to ex fears for the safety of property in the lower portions of the eity. The waters ! been rising for several days; and on January 1, 1847, merchants and manuf: urers along the canal, moved stoeks and material from the eellars and lower flo to the second stories of the stores and warehouses. The levee was new, and that reason there was great fear that it could not withstand the great pressure the waters. About midnight, a general alarm was given, and shortly afterw the old outer levee at the Bridge street bend gave away, and from the rush of mighty torrent, the new levee was broken through, the waters filling the cell

CITY OF DAYTON.

ar covering the lowlands from the corner of Wilkinson and Water streets, around vit of Perry to Fourth street, creeping up Fonrth and Fifth streets nearly to Wikinson, and along Sixth street to Main. At 2 o'clock in the morning of the ¿cthe levee above the head of Mill street began to wash, the alarm was promptly gin, but soon the waters swept down the canal bed, spreading to St. Clair atlet at Second, and through the alley south of Third street to the market house, Ion Jefferson street to Sixth, and on Fifth to Main street, leaving only the eenter f he oldest part of the city above high-water mark. Relief parties were at tyck all night, on horseback and in boats, rescuing the people from the dwellings in ne more exposed portions of the city. Uptown buildings and residences were h wn open for the reception of those who were driven from their homes. It was ight, clear night, and there were no lives lost or serious accident of any kind. "I annoyance was very great, the damage considerable, but being distributed ning so many, individual losses were small in comparison to what at first was chlatened.

Whatever of provisions and supplies that were left in the cellars, were spoiled; apets and furniture were damaged; fences, yards and buildings were injured by oriwood and floating timbers; but within a very few days all was cleaned up, .. n the annoying experience passed.

The levee was shortly afterward strongly reconstructed, and is constantly veg strengthened, and since the water-way has been widened, by the bridge ex- erions, it is believed that there can be no danger to the city from high waters une future.
