There has been immense fall of rain above.
The river has risen very rapidly, and have anoth

as in 1910. part of the upper bridge has already
been swept away and it is generally anticipated that
the lower bridge will be carried off before morning,
as the water is rising at the rate of inches
per hour. Both the Telegraph wires at the lower
bridge are broken, and all communication with the
N orlh cut off, The damage to property in Hamburg
and to the crops the lowlands along the river, will
doubtless be very great.
