SNOTV-STORIII AND GREAT FLOODSig

SELKIRKSELR_E.

oft
On Sunday, Wednesday, and Thursday last, sate,
fell in the neighbourhood of Selkirk to the egtaa
gate depth of 12 inches, but partial thaws 'to
melted a great part of what had fallen previell:At
Thursday, when it fell fast and thick for fully e'ebbo
hours. In the sources of Ettrick and Yarrovf
fall was still greater, especially on Thursday, tiliafted
the neighbourhood of St. Mary's Loch the undri"
snow lay 18 inches deep. By Friday morniic
general fresh had set in, and although little 4
fell, the soft newly-fallen snow melted under a soll'e,
west breeze with amazing rapidity. As a 0100,
quence, the rivers were speedily in flood, and e°.%
tinned rising throughout the day until between he
and seven o'clock, when the combined waters oftt,
Ettrick and Yarrow presented a scene never Pe of
hapa witnessed within the memory of the oldest o 9
the present generation. The low-lying het,il;gleil
were for many acres but vast lakes of water, vc%'l;
forcing for itself outlets, rushed again into the 111:•
s.tream like so many rivers. Throughout the el-tilo
mg, crowds of people gathered at Selkirk-bridgedi
gaze upon the scene, which, looked upon in thel)-00
light of the new moon, was very imposing. In the
early part of the day sheep and ether stock near of
courses of the rivers were removed to place' of
safety, and the damage sustained will be elJletor
confined to the carrying away of embankteei"ol
fences, and soil from the fields. The losses in tbis ie
will, it is feared, be very serious; but the wateto
are not yet (on Saturday) sufficiently subsidepo
admit of their being ascertained. The Ale sees -00,
in higher floci than has been seen for maul s'!-,.iea
and no fewer than four bridges have been eer-old
away between Ashkirk and Ancrum, viz., the 14
stone bridge at Ashkirk (which, however, 113: the
been used for traffic since the construction el .1.00
present turnpike, about thirty years ago), ae 00
bridge at Linthill, and a wooden one near the sers,
place, and another of the same material at SOtall't
ford, near Newhall. The Tweed was also L3e'spd
but not more so than at the time of the grelltrat-,1
disastrous flood in November last. On 53ti1,,.5 of
the snow had disappeared, except from the °roil
the higher ranges, and the weather was dr, Safi,
calm, with a temperature of 50 degrees.—SotBll
