The late freshet appears to have been yery dis
astrous along the valley of the Chenango We
learn from the Oxford Times, that so sudden and
unexpected was the rise, that whole focks ofsheep
were carried away by the current. We have
heard of one or two instances where cows and
other stock were swept off by the current, before
they could be rescued. We are informed that
factory belonging to Mr.. Wilcox, situated four or
five miles. below this village, was turned over and
the machinery destroyed. Loss estimated at Sl,
900. We understand that much damage was done
to the premises known as Van Wagener's mills,
situated about three miles northeast of the village.
Loss estimated at 900.


The canal III this section has been considerably
injured, to what extent, however, we can form no
estimate.

ton, has been rendered impossible, in consequences
of portion of it being carried away the bridges
of South Bainbridge and Nineveh, across the

90 at the forks, have been swept away. We hear
also that the food has been tremendous at Bing-
hampton, Owego, and through all that section OF
the country

a torrent that he was swept away in the mass, in
full view of his agonized family.


At Rochester the freshet was very heavy. The
water continued to rise during the whole of Sun-
