severely, losing a bridge of l50 feet in
length and the entire road bed in number
of places. y large force of men has been
sci 10 work repairing the damages, and
there will he but little interference to the

fearful. The town is almost entirely under
water, and barns, stock, &C., have been
swept miles away. The most singular cir
