THE FLOOD
THE FLOOD. -. In onf last we gave few particulars Of the late great ireshet atthe north. The following further de. tails we now furnish from the New York and Vermont papers. The scene in many places must have been dreadful.

 Freshet.-The uncommon heat lately felt, has been followed by an abundant rain. At the North and West ii must have been tremendous. The Connecti- cut rose, Tuesday, higher than in the Spring, and has doubtless done much injury the Indian and other crops, on it's banks. The bridge across White River, at White River Village, and the upper bridge in RoyaIton are swept away; and it is reported that all the bridges on Onion River have shared the fate.

 The whole of the Mills at West Randolph, together with the costly Factory Of Wm. Ford, Esq recently put in operation, were carried off. At Bethel, Mir. Morris extensive Tannery, the store owned in part by Hon. T. Emerson, and several dwelling houses, are swept away. The fragments of a, least six bridg thought to have passed RoyaltoM. At Royal ton, one young man was drowned The river is said to have risen higher than it was ever known to do before In the vicinity of the White Hills it commen. ced raining Saturday, and had not ceased Tues day.-W. ChroR.

 Destructiue Storm al the North.-We learn from the Troy Sentinel that the storm commenced at noon on Saturday, 24th July, and continued until the ing "Wednesday. The quantity of rain which fell unexampled, and the destruction very great the dam age being estimated at million of dollars. The country which has thus been visited far had been ,es aew York; pe and Addison nam and S CSendo" oOun ties, in Vermont. A letter 10 Mir. ). c. Heart, of Troy, from the Superintendent ot the Russia Iron Works at CntonviIle dated the 27th July, speaks of the desoa,ion along the the Au Sable river deyng description The water rose several feet higher than it seen, and had carried away the forge of the Peru Iron Company, containing ten fires, about third of the dam, the bridge, the remains of the furnace house aml machinery which left by the fire of October 1898, a small pocket furnace, coal house, and very long building used for proving chain cables The loss of the daln will arrest all operations for tho present, throwing from three to four hundred individuals, one way and another connected with these works, directly out Of employ, New Sweden, the village where are the iron and lumber works Of Earl Price and J. c. & H. R. Mclean, two miles above this, were at the last accounts, comparatively saie--bridge, forge, Hume, and saw-ogs gone, and buildings still standing. Machinery recognized sbe- longing the works the village 0t Au Sable Forks, six miles above this, lBur,, Vanderwarken & Col have just Aoated by us and from the low suatiom oi the village and works, we presume the loss there will be very heavy.

 letter from the same gentleman, dated July 27, to Mr. c. Johnson, of Troy, says:-

 "I have no leisure to go into deta-let it suffice that the damage this whole country has sustained is heard iron, but is either demolished greatly njur- ed; saw-nills nearly all gone; bridges on the Ausa, gone and with one of those in Plattsburg repor, says two persons were swept of.

 The Editor of the Troy Sentinel, says-Since pre- s per"ss of of lesr from Burlington i, dated W We'd. @ nesday evening July 28th, and speaks of the damage done on the Onion river. The bridge, plaster mill, upper and lower dam, blacksmh's shop, SIc. at the lower falls all carried away, as were the bridge woollen factory, saw mill, and indeed every thing ut the Buel & Brewster place: and ai Hubbell's Falls, the bridge, clohers works, saw mill, hemp machine, GLe. &c. were all swept away. The bridges seem to have been all swept off, and many barns aud some dwelling houses have also been burne away by the food. No information had been received from east of Richmond. The letter anticipates still worse ac. ntef frnrnM relia tnr tinues as even now is, # will be some days before sali know any thing of them, ae it has yet fallen only about one foot. On the Penniman and upper in- tervas the water is sad to be from thirteen O fifteen feet higher than it ever known beDre. Mir. Stan ton had to leave his house, and the water the tops of appletrees that had been bearRg twenty yeas and to the feet Of which it had never before come.

 The lower intervals appear like one vast lake. All the crops both Of hay and grain being, they were, ."cnt will be entirely destroyed We have not heard before it. except lshains grist min. The Huntington river has neither bridge nor mill efl.' ', number Of Burlington people collected at the went across the bridge 10 the other bank get het ter view. Al about 4 o'clock, and while they were still the further side, thcrdge went of, and they were obliged 10 go long distance up the river and cross n boats the next morning before they could get home.-N. Y. Daily Adu.

 HANOVER, tN. H.) July %.

 "This is the sixth day since we have not seen the sun, and the rain is still pouring down. Such storm AD tlss art O tUe country nus Deen VSteO W ntthiB of the year, s not within the recollection of the oldest inhabitants. The damage to the crops in the Connection. vaey by the waters overfowing the meadows, is immensc--every thing is under water.- Several small bridges the tributary streams which empty into the Connecticut route from Litile 10 this place, have been swept away. The towns the vest sie the river have suffered mos. by ihe inuDdation. At Montpelier, the seat of government in Vermont, two dwelling houses and one store. house the Onion river, were swept away, and other dam- age sustained. At tire town of Bethel. situated on branch Of the White river, about 30 miles from this all the mills and bridges have been swept of. have not heard of the loss of but one fife yet.''

 The NetO-7aUeR Palladium having been transfer red by Mr. Charles Adams to Messrs. Hitchcock & Babcock, it appears this week under the new arrange. ment. Its appearance is respectable. It will support Henry Clay for the Presidency. With regard to the politics of the state, the editors maintain the following singular position :" In relation to local politics we deem it unnecessary to say more, at this lime. than that shall support regular nominations. But should at any time be satisfied that an improper man had been designated for a"y office, shall support some other person whom we suppose better quaIifed.''
