FREsHRr IN EAST MIDpLEBURY.-Du-
ring the heavy rain-storm of yesterday
considerable damage was done in East
Middlebury, by the food. Two dams
were carried away-the tannery dam and
Boardmans mill dam. Two barns were
also carried off, one belonging to the
widow Champlain and the other to Mr..
Dunklee. After the dam gave way the
water came down the principal street Of
the village with rush, carrying every
thing with it, logs, clothes lines of clothes
fruit trees and even heavy wagon, with
any quantity of lighter movables, food
ing cellars, holding the people as prison
ers either within or without their houses.
The bridge near Kings harness shop was
carried off. The amount of damage could
not be estimated when our reporter left.
The water in Otter Greek rose very
rapidly yesterday until it began to reminc
us of the freshet last spring The fat
up the stream were all under water las
night and the loose materials were taken
up aud carried down stream in choatiC
masses-rails, brush, cornshocks, lumber
and pine logs. Messrs Downer, Boltor
4 Allen, lumber dealers and manufac
turers of this place are large losers b,
the food. Their boom across the stream
above the falls gave way yesterday after
noon and large number of valuable pin
logs went over the falls and down tn
river. We have not heard the loss est
mated, but it must be several hundre,
dollars, perhaps thousands.
