GREAT STORM AND FRESHET

On Wednesday morning our town was
visited by severe rain with violent thun-
der and tightening. The tightening struck
the conductor of the Winooski Church, and
the sidewalk near Mr.. Catlin's on the hill.
About one o'clock the rain and thunder
again came on and lasted for an hour or
more.
But the evening brough, the severest and
most violent rain which has occurred here
for fourteen years. 1t rained torrents for
tho hours, flooding the streets, and carrying
away bridges and huge masses of earth, al
most in an instant.
An Extra Stage coach from the South
coming toward this village about one o'clock
at night, was precipitated into deep gully
across the road made by the carrying away
ola bridge, and one of the passengers, Mrs.
Whitney the mother Of our townsmen, Messrs.
Henry and Stephen Whitney, was drow ned
before she could be extricated from the coach.
The other passengers four in number, we're
rescued. Two horses were also lost.
This melancholy accident is the only one
which has yet come 10 our knowledge, but
we fear there are more to come.
If the rain fell as long and as fast IN the
river, the destruction of property must have
been great.

THE RIOTS RENEWED!!

Southwark and Moyamensing have caught
the spirit of Kensington. A new outbreak
has occurred in those districts, and all the
bloody paraphernalIa of the former riot have
been called again into requisilion.
Gen. Cadwallader drew up his cannon and
ordered the troops to fire. Charles Naylor
late M. C.. endeavored to dissuade Gen. C.
from his purpose-but was arrested and put
under guard in a church. He was after.
