How the Flood Struck DrumOre and Fulton
Our Regular " Drumore" Correspondence.
The flood from the rain ON Tuesday and
Wednesday was ono of the most disas-
trous ever known in this part of the
country. The fall Of rain was immense.
The fields, however. arc not washed a.
badly as they frequently are, on account
OF the rain being shOwery with intervals
long enough to allow the water to run
away without collecting in damaging
quantities. But tho brooks and
creeks went wild, Overhowing their
banks, doing damage wherever they
could.
Our poor little railroad was severe suf-
ferer wherever the water could make an
impression, and 4 great deal of work will
be necessary to put it in running order.
Almost all the bridges on the COnOwiDgo
creek, in Fulton township, were taken
away, and tho remainder damaged serious
ly. The traveller misses bridges all over
the country, and steps exceedingly light ON
the ones that arc left. Meadows and
bottoms along tho larger streams were
OvertlOwed. and the crops on them ruined
or left in q bad condition. A great deal
of grass that had been cut, waiting for the
sun, will have to hunt far and wide tn

damage was done to property along
