Pennsylvania.
WATEETowN IN. W, September 18th
The rain, which has fallen in torrents
almost continually for FIVE days past, has
swollen every stream in this section to
spring freshet hight and to-day the effects
are seriously felt hereabouts by the almost
complete tying-up of the Rome, Watertown
and Ogdensburg Railroad and its branches,
the destruction of mills and other damage
TO manufacturing and farm property. In
Lewis county many acres OF good farm
land are under water. The water rose to
such hight that cattle took refuge on the
knobs and highlands, and we're made to
swim through the food at milking tlme
Black river is rsging, being within four
inches of the unusually high point which
it reached last spring, and with frequent
showers still coming and water still flowing
into the valley from yesterdays rains there
is probability that it will pass that high
water mark and become dangerous.
