Since the breaking up Of the ice, which carried

The water ut first rose three or four feet above

The cause Of this failure is owing to the dam
having been built above the ledge OF rock, 80
that the plank With which the dam is covered,
instead Of having solid bottom to rest upon,
strikes the sand, which is readily washed ont,
and the water finds an outlet underneath. At
