St. Louts, July 0?A special to
The Globe-Democrat from Angle

of this town are under two or
inree leet 01 water. Very few
lives have been lost in this vicinity,
but the lo-ses ot live ftock
and crops will be heavy. Cattle

<irowueil by the thousands. The
destruction in Oyster Or< ek val
ley is absolutely complete, ne
/ groes'cabins have been washed
t r away by the dozens, and the poor
penniless and hungry. The Brazos
now extends from Oanev in Ma
tagorda county on the west, to
Cbotate on the east, a distance of
&? miles, and h-?s carried complete
destruction and desolation with
it. Absolntely nothing left
which was touched by the llood. !
