THE HIGH TIDE.
Much Damsge from the flood in and Near
Wilmington.

The high tides Tuesday afternoon and
early yesterday morning, caused by the
strong easterly wind, did much damage
along the Christiana and Brandywine.
Many of the wharves were flooded and
in some places it was necessary for men
to stop work. Much movable material
was carried off, but, so far as can be
learned, no single concern sustained
any very great loss, also some of them
were put to much Inconvenience.
The high water broke the banks of
the Christiana in several places and a
number of small houses ON the south
side were in danger of being wrecked,
thus alarming the occupants. The
marshes were flooded in some places
and several small boats, which broke
away from their moorings were fioated
away. ia1h.4b va.
About 800 feet of the embankment of
the Delaware railroad cutoff track was
damaged. The bank was out or
washed out by the water and made
unsafe for the passage of trains. Track
men started to make repairs this morn
ing. Similar trouble was experienced
along the Delaware River. At Delaware
City the wharves were flooded and
some lumber was carried off. Other
damageSwas also sustained. As party
of soldiers were rowing across from
Fort Mott, the boat was overturned
and they were precipitated into the
water, but all were saved.
