WESTMEATH.
The districts in and around Tough
Rec were recently submerged by an
overflow of the River Shannon. The
exceptionally severe weather, alter
nately rain and snow and frost, had
disastrous results on the Leinster and
Connaught shores. The storms of
wind and rain have produced calam-
itous effects. Several populous town
lands are cut off from communication
with Athlone. The plight of the peo-
pie is pitiable, and the worst feature is
that the floods show no signs of abat-
ing. This particularly applies to the
districts Of Bonnaribba, Carrck-
Naughten. Newtownflood on the Con-
