THE FRESHET Ar SAUGERTIES.

The heavy rains ard thawng Of the large quantities
Of sncw in the mouLtaus caused sudden nie Of the

ice broke up. AT about yesterday morning the dam
erected by the late He,ry Barclay 70 supply water to
the SaUgtrties White Lead Works Ulster Iron Works,
ard Saugertits Psper Mil, was carried away and this
sudden bresksge, with the large quantities Of ice,
caused back water, thereby filing the above-men-
toned factores, doing much damage to finished and
unfinished materials, and sweeping from the yard of
the Ulster Iron Works some 200 TO 800 tuns Of Coz.
ar also damaging TIE paper mill some 500 to $500.
In addition to this, the vessels lying in the
creek were driven from their fastenings. Also the
feny boat now lies sunk with Only her smoke stack
visible. Some Ct the vessels were sunk, and others
were more or less stove iE--some past repairing
The consequences Of the freshet to the village OF
Saugertes are almost beyond calculation. by the
giving way OF tie dam the supply of water to the facto
res is cut off, thereby causing cessation Of work for
moths to come. and throwing out Of employment
about 100 workmen.
