SEVERE STORM.

During the past week. from Monday night to
Friday morning. we have been visited with heavy
and frequent showers. which, in their conclusion,
came so powerfully as to swell the streams, both
large and small, much beyond the ordinary spring
floods. In our immediate neighborhood we have
heard of particular damage. but in the interior,
from every quarter we learn that great injury has
been done by the carrying away OF bridges, fences.
DAMS siuices &c. aud the destruction Of cattle and
sheen. The meadows in the valley at WATERFOWL
were o.e vast sheet of water-a small bridge be
tween Watertown aud Waterbury carried away
ALSO the sluceway to the button factory at Salem
Bridge, where thousand loads of earth were re-
moved. MIR. A. Goodyear. of Waterbury, lost
about 80 fine merino Sheep Mr. J. Buckingham be-
tween 20 and so, aud several other gentlemen more
or less. All the intervae the Housatonic was
overhown, to the great injury OF the grass and late
crops.
OF course the Pennington Canal has not escaped
OF the extent of the damage. however we are not
informed though believe it is not SO great as I'M
der the circumstances might have been anticipated.
A considerable breach took place at Pennington
and some damage was done to the culvert at Salmon
Brook Between this and Pennington the damage
is but triAing. The canal had just been filled witt
water, and boats loading to commence opera
tons, which must now be suspended till the repair
can be made.
We also learn that the works at Enfield Falls ar
mostly swept away. In attempting to save som
timber, two men Nrish) were swept over the falls
one Of whom was drowned.

as 10 the majority they count upon in Orange coun

We will mott adds the Patriot, make any es-
