SHOWERS AND FREsHETs.-A severe rain storm
set in on Monday night, and has continued since
then. 1t has carried of vast deal of the snow
which had blocked up our streets; and as the
weather is warm, that remaining will soon disap-
pear, and the Hudson be thrown open to the ira
yelling public. Let us return thanks for this
There is one thing, however, connected with this
deluge of rain which we must regret, thanks or no
thanks. 1t has probably extended to some distance
in the interior, and had its effect upon the great
body OF snow that has been collecting for the last
| three months. The melting Of this, added to the
rain, will swell the streams to such aprodisous ex-
tent, as will unquestionaby do an immense deal
of damage to public works, bridges, farms, mills,
NC. nc
We may expect TO hear OF disasters and perchance
loss Of life by every mail for two weeks TO come
