nearly 150 feet span, is built principally of black marble,

DREADFUL FLOODS IN SCOTLAND.

DESTRUCTION OF PROPERTY.

On Saturday and Sunday very heavy snow and rain fell
in the southern districts of Scotland, and all the rivers
and streams became swollen to a terrific extent. At La-
mington, on the Caledonian line of railway, about 36
miles on this side of Glasgow, the wooden railway-bridge
which there crosses the Clyde has been washed away, the
embankment on each side having been carried away by

the river.

At Crawford, about nine miles further, on the same
line, another wooden bridge across the Clyde has been

carried away in a similar manner. The passengers to and
from Glasgow have of course to leave the trains at the re-
spective places, and get across the country in the best way

they can. The district for miles is one sheet of water,
and such an extensive or destructive flood is not remem-
bered. No doubt we shall hear of the loss of very much
