The great rains of the last week extend
ed through portions of New York, New
England and Pennsylvania. The damage
was heavy 10 railroads, canals, and private
property. About Fonda, N. Y, the floods
came down so suddenly as to flood farms
and villages, sweeping off bridges like
straws. Near Rochester serious breach
occurred in the Erie Canal, draining two
levels and much interupting navigation.
In the vicinity of Boston, the rain ofthe
21st was the heaviest ever Witnessed
The country was deluged, and the damage
to crops, gardens, roads, streets, DC, reach
ed many thousand dollars. The gauge at
the Weltbam Chemical Works indicated
the fall of five and half inches of water.
The storm of the 23d caused great dam
age to the Chestnut Hill Railroad, near
Philadelphia, sweeping away the culvert
over Chresham Greek with the embank-
ment over fifty feet high. Farms in the
vicinity and many houses were damaged by
the food. The rain was not heavy in the
city of Philadelphia.
Some delays were experienced on the
New York Central and Erie Railroads last
week, in consequence of the floods.
