Hreu WATER.-Since Friday night we
have had Il Succession of heavy rains, &C
c~ompanied Ivy violent e~asterly winds, COM
pletely flooding the streets in the back
part OF the city. During Saturday and
Sunday night a very strong easterly wind
prevailed, amounting almost to a gale
causing the water in the Lake TO rise and
overflow the banks and flood the swamp.
The water kept rapidly ~encroaching upon
the bounds of the city, and before morning
had reached to Rampant street, quite COW
ering the sidewalks. About noon Circus
street was all afoat, and by three o'clock
the water had reached the junction ofPhil-
lippa and Canal, and one side of Canal
street was entirely under water. After
Ais time it gradually began to recede, and
a. accounts was r~etreating to- its
ow" PloPsQhere. 1t was amusing to
see poso Sse'lli spon the door steps of

ing to "brave the dangers of the sea" to
GET to their places ofbusines. There has
not been such an extensive overflow since
1887, we believe. The water completely
covered the Old Shell Road and the rail-
road to the Lake, and we learn that the
P~ontchartrain company refused to carry
any freight down yesterday. The water
