On the twentyfourth of January, 1S87, the water in the channel rose ten feet above its normal height, but it soon began to recede, and no particular damage was done. Intermittently washed, as it has thus been, by huge volumes of water, the local topography of the river has exhibited, within the historic period, some inter- esting changes. Early in the settlement of the borough, a strip of land called an island extended from Broad Street south to the dam, and was a favorite dancing place, it is ...said, for the manumitted slave population which settled in Nigger Hol- low. Au island just above the mouth of the Whetstone, on which part of Harri- The Scioto Riveii. 309 mom's British captives of the Battle of the Thames were, for a time, piaeod uiKJer guard, has now mostly disappeared. Another bit of insular territory, of vvhicli no vestige now remains, clove the channel of the river just above the present bridge of the Little Miami Railway. It was variously known as BricUell Island, Willow Ishuui and Bloody Island, of which latter title the derivation is thus explained : On a certain occasion, about 1840, a ball took place at the Neil House, and among the wild and mercilesslj' bewitching maidens there present, was Miss Lizzie H, a frolic-loving romp, who was simultaneously solicited to dance by two young gentlemen, one from Logan County, the other from Richland.
