Great Freshet-ssvsrai Breaks In the
White Water Caaal-Immense Damage.
The rain yesterday morning, between 2 O'Clock
and daylight, was, perhaps, the scverest ever ex-
perienced in this city and vicinity. In the city
much damage was done, details of which viii
b. found IN another place; On yesterday, at II
the hrst real interruption TO the White Water
Canal navigation, In the shape Of breach in the
south bank OF the canal, some one hundred rods
from the Mlllcreek bridge, at the junction of 9Th,
/ 9th, and Front.
This we found to be about thirty to fifty feet on
the top OF the bank, and twenty TO thirty-five at
the bottom Of the ditch, letting out all the water
merly pond, on the land of N. Longworth, which
| was drained last year, doing much damage to Mr..
| j. Wnegartnsr ~ Brother, and other persons
living in the neighborhood, whose cellars lie con-
I tiguous to the pond II seems tina. the break in
the canal at this place is directly over the tunnel
/ that carried water to the saw mill of Mr.. Akers
situated on the river bank. At the time we passed.
! the tunnel made to drain the pond was letting off
! the water rapidly. The water had entirely left
| the canal at this point We observed in crossing
hillcreek bridge, that the squcduct, lately
erected Just above, was not in the least affected.
. Proceeding down the river road, came to a
! little run, Just below which Is StorrT Chapel.
| Here the tremendous flood rose so as to cross the
turnpike at depth of some six feet, aud actually
carried from the side of the hall the bank of the
river, large quantity OF rocks, one Of which we
were assured by Mr.. Justus Wright, whose resi-
dsnce is above the chapel, weighed at least 500
pounds The lot on whlcn the chapel stands was
| HhcH iDluIcuy DrlHE Euiueu, huu FENCES broken
! down. Mr.. Wrghts loss was not severe, being
only the carrying sway Of a road, Just back Of the
chapel, that viii require 1000 loads Of dirt to
repair.
We then proceeded to the second break in the
Whitewater Canal, which occurred on the proper
~ Of the Hon. Salmon p. Chase, Senator In Con-
sress from Ohio. The canal here runs within
twesty. to fifty feet Of the Ohio river, the bank
being high. When 1t occurred, the water slid
with tremendous velocity from The bills, filing the
canal almost at once by the superilulty of water,
and causing II TO run over its banks for miles.
The weakest place was at the above POINT, IA IL
would seem: the bank gave way into the OHIO,
and a torrent found vent with a noise heard for
many miles. This break is bad one, and 10
naos VLsn v's ~, 4, ,bs ,,",. e,,, ~ ia, oad d
OF the canal bad ceased To run, but il was pouring
from the level, below the break, reaching to the
} first lock. At the Sylvan House We learned from
Mr. Charles Anderson, that II was rumored ano-
I Their break had occurred at Industry, ten miles
from this CITY. but he could give no positive news
