The STREETS AND AvEsUEs-In consequence
OF the heavy rains this morning, the crossings on
Pennsylvania avenue were flooded and difficult
Of passage, especially on the north side of the
avenue. The heavy body Of water pouring down
the numbered streets swept the mud and filth
from the cutters to the sewer openings at the
avenue corners. These becoming cIogge ed, and
the water inding no channel, large ponds were
FORMED, which extended over the Gag ways and
SIDEWALKS at various points, making Il necessary
Tor pedestrians to pass them by leaps-many who
were OUT OF practice, proving the ponds TO be
knee deep. at least, In some places III pains
were taken to remove the dirt ffom the number
