! ofinmense foods, and the damage done
is inca!cuable. Although the storm Of
! Wednesday was not as furious as that of
the day before, its effects will be- more Sc
verely felt, as larger quantity OF water
teL. tAan on Tuesday, and coming into the
already swollen streams, viii cause them:

caused by the storm is experienced in the

Ia the city the damage was still greater

bluffs washed rocks into it, some of them
weighing at least five hundred pounds =
! On the corner OF Main and l2th streets,
the water washed tho sidewalk away,

Fifteenth street is in bad condition, be-

washing out Of the street 10 the depth OF

ed cut IN the vicinity o. jackson Square
and presented no very comfortable APP
pearance for early pedestrians. Tie tor

These are bat lew OF the instances which

bridges on the roads usually travelled hav
