| The whole leYee will probably CO.
| The back-water fell over twelve inches
to-day, no doubt caused by the breaking of
Potin's dyke-a very large embankment
built TO prevent the water from entering
| False river. This will fill False river, and
| certainly cause a break in the Jordachee
leyee and inundate the Grosette country
Potin's dyke is about one mile from the
Court house, and about four from Waterloo.
Il will be impossible to estimate the privation
| of the people, loss of stock, crops, etc. The

from exhaustion and want Of forage.

The! Proposed Amendments to the House
| Rules.
| WASHINGTON, March 12h.-The House
| Republican Caucus Committee, st its meet
ing yesterday, did not decide to call caucus
to consider the proposed amendments to the
House rules and it is not probable that one
will be called for that purpose. It is pretty
! generally thought that the chances for the
| adoption of the new rules would be decreased
if strict party fight was accepted On them.
| The Democrats are not at all united, and it
| is known that there was not quorum present
when Randslps resolution was adopted by
the Democratic caucus. It is the intention
of Rsid to bring up the majority report
| Tuesday, with the hope that the discussion of
the amendments may be concluded during
the week, and action secured next week.
