HARpwicE A remarkable earthslile occurred
sometime ago, at the railroad cut, Just above this
village, ON the land of John Bridgeman, Esq
The cut in its deepest part is about sixteen feet,
and is along a side hill north Of the river When
the cutting had progressed 20 near the deepest
point, the bank on the upper side broke back from
the cut several rods, detachng from It's bed, and
loosenng thousands of tons of earth, precipitat-
ing it down the hill upon the track cut out. II
has continued 10 slide down as the lower edge has
/ been cut away. The rain of the 18th, caused the
ground to break several rods higher up the hill.
The soil is loan, underlaid with clay, The loan
where the slide occurred is some ten feet in depth
This cut will no doubt occasion the railroad COM
pany much trouble, unless some strong barrier
be constructed to prevent slides.
