HIGH WATER-TRoUBLE AT THE STATE DAN
The food of water which Is coming down tue
Oswego river has seldom been so great as at the
present time. On Saturday night, 1t was louno
that q portion of the State dam near the atioh
Canal was yielding to the great pressure, ana a on
Sunday morning a portion OF 1t gave way mo
onenjnp is about 30 feet in width, and the water
rushes through it with trighttui Velocity' nc
river is vet 80 high that the water passes over inc
ton Of the dam but the State Engineer IL ON tue
Ground, and with q large body OF men are building
q break water above it, so that it Is thought no
more of it will be carried away. Two sunken "a
nal boats have been lodged against the dam Tor
some weeks, and they throw the water oil toward
the Varick Canal in such quantities, as TO cause
the break. 1t was feared yesterday that the
whole structure would be carried away, but it is
now beyond danger. The Canal is yet nayige
be although part OF 1t Is slackw&ter naylBa'
ton above the State dam.
N. b. Since the above was written, we have
been up to see the break. The earth adjoining
the end OF the dam was eaten through by the
water but by judicous precautions it will not en-
large in that direction. The end OF the wooden
dam itself is now sustained by a small abutment
which was built there to strengthen 1t. The boats
which are lodged on the dam, and which have
thrown the water over toward the Varick Canal
are to be removed Immediately. Oswego Jour, I'd.
