Flood.-Rans have continued almoat daily
to greatero or less extent in this region since
my last epmnpni Observation-Disclosures on last
Friday night in one of the heaviest rama since
the food of lST0-the fall not being SO extensive
as on that occasion. The greater portion of the
rain passed southwest of our village over the
headwaters of Free Masons run, Messy Creek
and Long Glade. Fencing, hay, and everything
thai was more bouyant than water was swept
away and great amount of damage done to
property by the flood The rise ct Long Glade
was estimated ut yWa Ieet above the flood of
1870. New bridges which had recently been
erected over this stream near Bridgewater were
carried Off. and the Warm Spring turnpike
washed out and greatly damaged, and all the
plantations from Bridgewater TO Col. s. A
East's, at the head spring OF the stream, were
thrown open, We understand that 1t was par
ticulafly destructive at the latter point The
perpendicular fall of water in few hours was
over 10 inches. The North md Middle rivers
were only slightly flushed.
Qeaa-Miss Edith Beam, aged about 20 years,
