Dam BFeak.

| ... lam Break.
NEW YORK, July 14.-A Springfield,
dispatch giving 8. account Of I'M
bursting Of the reservoirs in Massa
chusetts on Sunday last says: 9TH
discovery Of the break was made b,
Deacon Harry Meacham, an old gentle.
man who has been one Of the law maker
Of the State, but whose namo ia remem.
bered from this day, not as that Of solor
but as the Collins Graves oI Blush Hollow
Att o'clock on Sunday afternoon, Mr.
Mecham who lives about one quarter o
a mile from the upper dam visited 1t feel
ing anxious lest the long continued and
heavy rains had weakened Ito walls. The
dam appeared to him at that time al
right, but noticing that the water wat
rising very rapidly, he thought that pos,
sibly the dam Of Little Goose pond on
a small brook emptyiug into this reservoir
had given way, and he went up there tc
investigate. Coming back after finding
that all right and again surveying the
dam, he was about to turn away, satisfied
when he was Mortified to see a heavy land
slide on the lower slope oil the dam.
knowing at once what that meant, he got
out his horse, mounted him in haste, and
dashed down 10 Blush Hollow, carrying
the alarm Of the coming waters. The
warning was swift enough, giving quite
ten minutes for the escape OF men,
women and children TO the hillsides, sit
uated as in skinnersville, but further
of. At the end OF about ten min.
utes tho flume gave way, and a
wall Of water sixty feet wide, GOV.
cred with cap Of snowy foam, rushed
through it with a rosr, and descended
Main street with more than the force OF
an Alpine avalanche. The terrified peo.
pie, who happily, through the forelhought
Of Deacon Meacham, stood upon the hill
sides in safety, watched the progress Of
the destroying wave in terror and appre.
hension. Leaving Main street, II branched
eastward, and rolled down in the rear Of
the houses and into Blush Hollow, an
village, repeating the ravages
described OF the time of the Mill River
disaster. Houses went down like ten
pins, trees were torn up by the roots and
carried along by the wave, and even the
surface Of the earth was torn and fur
rowed as though with mammoth plow.
For half an hour the food maintained lis
force. At 430 p. NJ it reached the lower
dam. This influx broke the second dam,
whose waters poured forth to add to the
power Of the wave reaching Chester Wa
tiers, which carried away one wooden
bridge in the centre Of the village, and
more or less damaged the foundations to
the dams and stacks Of several manulsc.
turing establishments, and quite ruined
many fields and gardens. Below this
village the foods chief damage outside Of
that to the railroad was the carrying
away Of the bridge at Rolling Brook, and
then it gradually lost It's force and power
of mischief. The entire damage Of the
food is vaguely placed OF $35O,0OO, and
the estimate is moderate, including many
persons thrown out OF employment and
the enforced idleness Of the place.

Destructive Fire a, oshkosh.

Yesterday was fearful day for fires in
the Northwest, Not only was Chicago
terribly visited, but so also was the
tlourishing little city Of Oshkosh, where
about one million dollars worth of prop
erty was destroyed by the flames. Oshkosh
is great lumber depot. 1t is, In fact, q
city Of saw.mills, shingle mills and plan.
ing mills. Incredible amounts OF lath and
pickets, sash and doors, and even fences,
are manufactured there. 1t is situated at
the entrance oI Fox river into Winneba.

nection by water with both Lake Michi.

and they have built boats there that after.
