SNOW-8210RX AND GREAT FLOODS IN

SELKIRKSILIRE.

On Sunday, Wednesday, and Thursday last, silo°
fell in the neighbourhood of Selkirk to the aggre'
gate depth of 12 inches, but partial thaws had
melted a great part of what had fallen previous to
Thursday, when it fell fast and thick for fully eight
hours. In the sources of Ettrick and Yarrow the
fall was still greater, especially on Thursday, and 10
the neighbourhood of St. Mary's Loch the undrifted
snow lay 18 inches deep. By Friday morning a
general fresh had set in, and although little rain
fell, the soft newly-fallen snow melted under a south-
west breeze with amazing rapidity. As a conse-
quence, the rivers were speedily in flood, and con-
tinued rising throughout the daruntil between si%
and seven o'clock, when the combined Waters of the
Ettrick and Yarrow presented a scene never per'
haps witnessed within the memory of the oldest of
the present generation. The low-lying 'laugh°
were for many acres but vast lakes of water,
forcing for itself outlets, rushed again into the male
stream like so many rivers. Throuvlout the even"
ing, crowds of people gathered at Selkirk-bridge to
gaze upon the scene, which, lool:;ed upon in the pale
light of the new moon, was 'very imposing. In the
early part of the day sheep and other stock near the
courses of the rivers were removed to places of
safety, and the damage sustained will be chiefil
confined to the carrying away of embankments'
fences, and soil from the fields. The losses in this wag
will, it is feared, be very serious ; but the watero
are not yet (on Saturday) sufficiently subsided to
admit of their being ascertained. The Ale was also
in higher flood than has been seen for many yeare!
and no fewer than four bridges have been carried
away between Ashkirk and Ancrum, viz., the old
stone bridge at Ashkirk (which, however, has not
been used for traffic since the construction of the
present turnpike, about thirty years ago), an iron
bridge at Linthill, and a wooden one near the sate°
place, and another of the same material at Santos'
ford, near Newhall. The Tweed was also heavy'
but not more so theta at the time of the great and
disastrous flood in November last. On Saturatic
the snow had disappeared, except from the tops
the higher ranges, and the weather was dry and
calm, with a temperature of 50 degrees.—Scotsinag•
