One of the objects of education. and no,

We deem it entirely unnecessary to en-

MEssRs. EDIToRs:-I have to give you
news this morning OF the most disastrous
freshet which has occurred on White River
for many years. On Saturday evening, a.
bout o'clock, the ice in the river gave way
with tremendous crash, being very thick.
and ere morning il had gone entirely out of
the river. This morning we have news Of
much damage done the entire length of the
river. AT Bethel. above here, while the
people were attending lecture over the
bridge on White River, on Saturday evening,
the bridge was entirely swept away, and
one hundred persons were left on 1.-The
wrong side;" they at once started for a
neighboring bridge, which. just as they
them, and they were then eight miles from
any crossing place. AT this place the Mills
have sustained much injury, and will need
repair, ere they can move again. On the
Stage route from here TO Royalston, the
bridge was carried off, making the road en-.
trely impossible About six miles below
here, part Of a bridge across White River
has gone; a few miles below there, the Saw,
Clothing, and Grist Mills, (known as
Slrong's,) are entirely carried into the Con-
necticut still below there. the new bridge
known as White River Bridge, in Hartford,
has been entirely swept away; thus much
for the news at this quiet place, this morn
ing. The ice, when il went out OF the river,
on Saturday evening. was the finest sight
ever beheld the river was very high, and
rapid at the time and the old folks said, IL
never see the like" the river has since fall.
