The Northampton Gazette says

The Connecticut continued 10 rise till a.
bout o'clock Sunday night, when it had
reached an elevation Of 25 feet above low
water mark The Northampton Bridge
very narrowly escaped destruction. The
water was up within about feet of the wood
work, and the river was filled with floating
ice. Huge masses ofthick ice came against
the piers of the bridge, and passed under
with fearful crash.
The Connecticut has not been so swollen
before since ls0l-the period ofthe celebra-
ted Jefferson food as it is called. The
water was up. Sunday evening, about mid
way between the lower end Of the street in
Hadley and the meeting house. Some FAM
lies. near the river were obliged 10 remove
every thing from their cellars. The south
pan of Hatfield. also, was flooded; the wa
ter came within ten rods Of the brick school
house. Five or six cellars were filed
Partridge s. Stebbins lost hogshead of mo-
lasses in their cellar. One person lost
call, and another five pigs. In one barn
floor the water was two feet deep The wa
ter at Hatfield is full as high as it was at
the Jefferson food, il not higher, This is
owing, in great measure. TO the river be-
ingblocked with ice which throws the wa
Ter back The river from Rock ferry, about
two miles below this village, TO as far as the
eye.ean reach from Hatfield is complete
ly covered with masses of ice wedged in,
which hoated down. The water, however,
on the Northampton meadows, we are in
formed by those who we'll recollect, is not
SO high by considerable, as it was in 1901,
or even nj the fresbet in September, 1929
The reason offs great elevation at Hadley
and Hatfield, arises from the fact that it was
thrown back by the ice.
The bridge at Springfield has been consid-
erably injured. The piers were so mutila.
ted by the floating masses of ice, that pass.
ing on the north side ofthe bridge is inter
dicted the south side is passable.
On Monday morning, as we were inform
ed by gentleman from Ash6eld, the Sun,
derland bridge was in imminent DANGER
Large quantities Of ice were heaped up a
gainsl it, and II great number of spectators
were present, expecting every moment to
see il move from the piers. 1t received in
jury from the wreck the Montague bridge
which came dashing against it with grea
fury.
Among the interesting incidents connected
with the food, is the following.
Capt. David and Henry Strong, went t.
abe river to secure their freight boat. They
found the water in the basin, this side thu
river, so high, that it was necessary to max,
use of horses TO ford it. They secured thei
boat, but the water, III the mean time, had 81
increased, that they were obliged to remain
where they were Sunday afternoon, per
sons went to them with boat, and carried

From The Greenfield Gazette.

The bridge at Montague which had lust
been completed and put in excellent order
was shortened more than hundred feet, by
the loss OF the western pier, and the two
spans supported by it. That portion from the
shore to the pier had been standing some
years but was sound and strong; the other
portion was entirely new. The bridge
would probably have sustained the mere
pressure Of the water, had not the pier been
struck by fragments of,he dam at Turner'S
Falls, In which large gap was made by a
part oil bridge from above, supposed to be
the lower one at Charleslown The lumber
thus SET free clogged the passage nnder the
bridge, produced an extraordinary rise of
water on the upper side and finally bore a
way the pier and incumbent structure. The
damage to the bridge is probably about
$4,000.
The upper dam or that across the Con-
necticut below Miller's river. we learn, is
entirely gone together with the locks ada
cent; and good portion of the lower dam,
or that at Turner's falls. The breaches up
OH the Gill and Montague shores are extern
sive, while the works between the islands
remain entire.
Considerable quantities Of wood were pill
ed on the ice in Gill, and some sleds loaded
in readiness to be drawn off but they went
with the current and were lost Some OF
the wood, however, was saved 1t is though,
that the Connecticut has not risen so high
for 8 years previous to the present freshet.
1T is stated that nine bridges have been
swept off by the streams in Coleran. Sew.
eral outbuildings in Shelburne, and fences in
every quarter we're blown down by the high
wind during the storm.

within few rods OF the front OF the Argus
office. All these streets, and the intermedi-
ate streets to the river, exhibited last night
an extended surface of ice, the weather hav-
ing become suddenly cold again.

ice, have wrought good deal of havoc here
The Bridge connecting the Garden with
the Battery, 1.-The classic Bridge, upon
which.Major Downing saved the life of the
Gsnerat, is nearly destroyed. though as
yet passable. The outer-walks Of the Gar
den toward the sea, are nearly ruined. The
water has swept away the earth, and torn up
the stones. 1t will take good deal of mon
ey to replace them.
The Tide.--lt is said, has not been so
high for seven years. Old Neptune has Sc
verely chastened those who have intruded
upon his domain.
The Cetiays.-Perhaps, the greatest loss
es will be found here. Nearly all, il not all,
the Cellars in South street. Water street, and
in the lower part ofthe cross streets, have
been filled. Where merchants have stored
goods that could be thus damaged, the loss
es must be very severe Refectories have
been filled with salt water-also Eating
