The damage done to the highways is al

in Bradford. All the brid ges on Under

are gone, and tor Il mile, through the
woods, the road is cut up and washed
away, so badly that it will probably cost
thousand dollars to rebuild it, Ii

in Wells river began to rise Monday
morning, and by one O'Clock the whole
valley was one complete sea OF toamlng

every bridge and mill on the stream
would be swept away but luckily all
the mills and two bridges stood the test.

Another terrible freshet came upon Us
on Monday the 18th inst beng the Sec
ond one of the season. 1t commenced
to rain early Sunday morning, and rain
cd quite smart with but little cessation
until Monday morning about o'clock
when the clouds began 10 grow thicker
and darker, and about the rain came
down in torrents The streams began to
rise higher, and grow more angry, APP
pearing as though they were going to
the mastery, and clear away every build
ing and bridge in their road. The Ly-
lord brock damned up rs before, where
it passed under the block of Lance X
Harrington, going through the harness
shop Of +. Whittier into the street also,
cutting channels around both sides of the
building. From here the current passed
across the street, a part Of it gong
around tue new Union block, and
a part through the basement Of J. A.
Farrmgton's store, carrying off a large
quantity OF logs and other barter
Everything was cleared from the har-
ness shop and grocery that could be, and
what the men did not clear out the wa
ter did,-leaving in place of new har-
nesses, groceries, &c, sand, Lockwood,
rocks, &c. AT the upper end Of Main
street, the brook rose very fast, bearing
down in its rage, trees, Lockwood,
rocks, &c, damming up against the
bridge. Before it damned up, the cur
rent had so washed out the under-pin-
ming of Mr. II. +. Britt's new barn,
that one of them tipped nearly over into
the stream. His loss cannot fall much
short OF $1,000. The water dammine
up at the bridge, threw the current INTO
the mlddie Of the street, and cut chan
mel about 20 rods long and nearly two
feet deep. The streams now all gather

The storm on Sunday and Monday did
considerable damage III some parts OF the
town. In Water street district alone
the loss Is said to exceed $4,000, OF which
;. IL. Rowcll X son lose about one
thousand, including their dun and the
cellar to the starch factory, the latter
containing not far from 1000 bushels OF
potatoes. Stevenson Brothers lose
about $1,000 worth ot property. On
Monday afternoon their dam started for
Barnet, taking along with it 1000 bed
posts and undermining more than one
third OF the shop. On the mountain the
road for Il considerable distance Is -
badly washed that it Is 10 be abandoned
and new road built few rods south OF
where the old one was. Nearly every
bridge in the southerly half Of the town
is demoralized, and nearly half Of them
] completely carried away. The like OF
this has not been known "wit!in the
memory of the oldest inhabitant," and
some say not since Mr.. Noahs time
The damage to the town Is variously es-
timated at from $4,000 to $4,000.

The water 1T Montpelier was fifteen

Five !ar.r bridges were swept away, M

long. Just below tie depot. The loss
WAS not heavy upon II few Individuals.

Safe streets, there were u treat many
sufferers To a greater or less extent.
Many of the best houses in the town
were flooded, cellar and first floor. which
was decidedly unpleasant. Between
Montpelier and Mar>hticld only two

plaintield the loss was very great; almost
every brid &c was swept away, and the
road 80 quilted a. To lie more like the
bed Of a mountain torrent than Il high
way. At the village the saw mill OF
Willis Lane, the brick grist mill, the
two Buildings just below, and the shops
of Mark NJ Page were carried off i'll
quick succession, and in short time
were followed by the barn and part OF
the house of Il. Taylor. The loss in the
Village alone Is more than $50, 900, and
ia other paris Of the town at least $40,
/ coo mere.
In Moretown, Eaton's saw mill and
several bridges have been washed away.
Ia Waitslilll the clapboard mill OF
Hon. Ira Richardson was carried oil
with about $1,000 worth Of clapboard-,
also the tenant houses occupied by tho
man who run the mill. The bridges on
the Mad river uIc reported rs having
been washed away, almost without cx,
ception.
In East Montpelier, besides the bridge;
on the river, the bridge near Montpelier
Center was carried away. The dam of
Mcssrs. Hubbard II Kinney is badly
washed out, and about 1000 of then
saw-logs hoatcd away, and about SOC
logs from the same mill belonging TO Mr..
Z. u. Norcross.
In Marshteld the two bridges at the
village were washed away as well as
two above the village. The roads in
town are very seriously injured. The
damage done in this town by this and
the last flood will make heavy trcshet
account which they will be called upon
to settle for the year 1863.

BartonsvillG, the railroad depot and five
dwelling houses We're swept away, and
the river now runs where the depot stood.
More than half the distance from Chester

been washed away. One railroad bridge

THE LITE DELUGE.
Great Loss of Property and Life.

As we feared, tue mails bring reports
of treat disaster by the rain Of October
4th. 1t was very extended-comlng ut
the same hour. from Maine to the Dis
trict of Columbia, and from Canada to
Long Island Sound. The reports are
very similar from all parts OF the coun-
try tbouoh in some localities it was more
sevore than in others. The reports are
so numerous and so vOluminOus, that we
rive first those of local and state interest,
and then only those Of marked interest
or where lives were lost And when we
read of the ;many sad casualties that oc-
CURED during this flood, we feel that
there is more than ever cause tor graft
tude that this immediate vicinity was
saved any such great calamity.
