DgLAwARrCITY, March Am unusually
high tide prevailed between / and o'clock
yesterday morning. The whole of the

wharf was overlooked, presenting most
wocful appearance. Tho rising tide, in
creased to waves by the fierce northeast
wind blowing in shore, swept over the
tops of the wharves and lock gates carry
ing tons of driftage, which was deposited
all over the streets. The water covered the
street rs far up as /. n. Warren's grocery
store, and stood six inches on the floor Of
Mr. Cheairs store. Clark's and Sadlcr's
wharyes suffered considerable damage
from the high water, also the side track Of
the r., w. q b. railroad through the
swamp. An eye witness said the water
had the appearance of small tidal wave.
A four-masted schooner was driven so
high and dry by the wind on the bar on
Fort Delaware, during this storm, that the
united efforts of three tugs could not move
her, even at nigh water.
