The gardeners on the Island below this city
suffer great loss by the in.Aood. The Island is
inundated, the water upon it being several feet
in depth. The house of John Moore has been
carried off; but the family fortunately vacated
the premises yesterday.
Frederick Mole, who occupies portion of the
Island, is represented as sitting upon the roof
this morning, unable to be reached from the
shore. His family left the house last evening
Upon pile of lumber was solitary rooster
who, amid the general wreck, defantly tapped
his wings and crowed as he sailed past the crowd
on the shore.
South Broadway is deserted--the stores are all
closed and an occasional row boat passing up the
street only relieves the monotony incident upon
q very quiet Sunday.
The south part Of South Pearl st. was all un-
der water. A horse stumbling fell down, and be-
ing unable to rise, was drowned before he could
be got out Of the harness.
Troy was partially submerged this morning,
the water being one foot higher than it was in
1S32-the lower part of the city being navgable
by boats.
The amount of lumber swept off the docks at
Troy is immense, and variousy estimated from
200 to 800 piles.
When it was discovered last evening that the
water was rising rapidly, three men proceeded in
a boat from near the house of Archibald Dun
lop, Esq. on the Troy road, to bring off family
occupying house on the Island at that point.
Before reaching the house the boat was capsiz-
ed by cake of ice, when the three men succeed
ed in reaching tree, and thus escaped instant
death. Only one, however, could find resting
place above the water; the other two had to
stand partly in the water, and in this position
they remained all night, it being impossible to
send them succor. They we're reached early the
next morning and rescued
