Destructive FLooDs.--The rain
STORM Of Wednesday night Of last week,
produced the most disastrous food seen
il this part oflMarylapd for many years.
The Western Maryland Railroad was so
mach damaged, in thetrack and bridges
that the regular travel and transit OF
the. mails could not be resumed until
Monday last. AS no bridges were swept
away entirely, We presume the loss will
not prove very serious. Lower down
the Patapsco the loss has been very Sc.
we're, In the destruction Of stone and
other bridges, Of dams and other prop.
erty. The damage along Gwynn's Falls
appears to have been very great. a
house containing man, woman and
three children, was washed away BY the
food, and all drowned. The damage
done in the city of Baltimore was not SO
great as on some other occasions. The
storm extended TO Washington, where
considerable damage was done.
