D The late rains have swollen the waters
considerably, Up the West Branch Of the Sus
quehanna, the rise Of water was very rapid, and
we presume considerable damage has been done
to the public works az well as 10 individuals -
At Wil'iamsport, we understand, the river was
higher than II has been for thirty years past. The
town was partly inundated Large quantities Of
lumber, timber, SC, came down Opposite this
place q number of shocks Of hnhusked corr came
floating down the stream-swept OF no doubt
from some of the bottom lands Of the Vest
Branch number of shocks were brought to
shore, and yielded about two bushels Of corn each
when husked. The rise in the North Branch was
not great, and consequently bnt little damage
has been done here, as well as up that branch of
the river Canal navigation has been suddenly
checked, and that, too, at a season when mer.
chants are laying in their stock, The Junia'a
has been very high, and tina. canal, we presume
has suffered considerably. At Duncan's Island
