Aualanche.-A gentleman of Fayston, in whose veracity the most implicit reliance can be placed. has obligingly furnished us with the following account of an avalanche Ofearth or side of the mountain, in Lincoln, Addison county, on the 27th ult. occasioned by the almost incessant rains: #

 1 On the SOth of June, I went in company with 16 of my neighbours, to visit the spot so 1 singularly marked by providence. which am about to describe. found the slide to commence near the top of the mountain. be- tween two large rocks which were stripped of earth, opening passage of 4 rods wide, from ] which it proceeded sOutherly direction gradually widening for the distance of 200 rods, to the south branch of Mill Brook in FaystOn. In it's course it swept away every thing in its way overturning trees by the roots; divesting them of roots, branches and bark, often breaking them in short pieces. A number of rocks were moved to some dis tance, judged to weigh from Is to 20 tons. From where it entered Mill brook, its course was a northeriy direction 28O rOds-the nat ural course of the Brook which was small |; hut the channel cut by this freshet is now from to 10 rods wide: and on either side are large quantities of hoodwood. piled up in many places very high, and. from l5 to % rods of the lower part oft, it is blocked up a. cross the channel in every direction. Some of the trees are standing on their tops, and stripped of their bark, and branhces, and bro- ken into many pieces. The pile, in some pla- ces is ten feet high. Much of the timber is apparently buried severalfeet in the mud and sand. One large birch tree was broken of square. measuring 3 feet g inches where it was broken. One black ash was literally pounded into broom, whose brush is feet long. The whole distance of these ravages is mile and half, and the quanti.yof land metaphorsed into barren waste is 25 acres. The force of water must have been great, at which we cannot wonder when we con sider the probable depth of the water. In some places, from appearances, it must have been 30 feet high. Some of the trees on the sides of the channel were parked thirty or for ty feet high, and mud on them at that height. -[ Montpelier (Vt.) paper
