Tho wator ta now spending rapidly, and in aren several mites in extent is already % overliowed, 7 IT 18 IMPOSsIMLE By’i to compute the fmmenso amount of damage that will result from this flood, but it will age gregute several hundrod thousand dollars, A elight tea of the damage ty bo gulned from ‘the fact that nn extent of country forty miles tong and from four to ten miles wide was pro- tected by the ombankment, This ts probably chest farming land in the State, nud, asm quence, the yield of grain this year would. have ben cnormons. The news of tho break nt miinight spread liko wildiire, but it searecly preceded the rush- ing of THE TRRNIGLE FLOOD of water, and tho excitement during tho night was tntense. Families wero compelled to leave thoir hones, in many ingtinees, with scarcely any clothing on, and fev for tholr tives, A large extent of the property in the valley is owned by Quincy people, and the ainonncement of tho Qisaster was consequently recolved with deep regret here, As tho river nt tho cut-off where the crovasse oceurred is forty fect dvop, the water’ poured through Ina vast volume and with oyerwholm- ing force. a\n entire family, belloved to bo Mr. Freemer, and his wife, AND ALL 119 CHILDREN, WERE DROWNED, Notrace can be round of thom or of thelr house. ‘Thoy lived but a few rods below tho pulntwhers tho break occurred. dr.
