Srrixerixiy, Mass., Jaly 13.—Details are coming to band of a second flood in Hampshire county, Mass., caused by the giving way or the Teservoir of ory At the village of Middie- field. The Union gives the following particu- Jars in its noon edition: “The reservoir was «it~ usted on Middletield brook, which empties into the west branch of the Wastfield river at Mii- diefield switch. It covered nearly one hundred acres, and was built about thirty years ago by Uriah Church, father of the present owner, who started the business now carried on by his four sons, The reservotr was made by the raising of the main road trom Middlefield center to North Becket, the hills on either side of the stream forming the sides of the reservoir. The road dam was raised about twenty feet fer ® distance of from thirty to forty reds. The dam once before it was pletion it has been reg nd was used for the purpose of furnishing additional water for the large new mill now being erected. It was the intention to raise the dam two feet doring the present season. The reservoir was used for the storage of water for the Church brothers, running two broad cloth milis, for Blush’s felloe, thiell and stove factory, ana fur the mill owned by (liver Blush, and formeriy used a8 @ woolen mill, but lately as a grist mill. These were ail the mills situated on Middle- field branch. Below the reservoir between Midélefeld switch and Chester there is upon the west branch of the Westfield river, into which Midalefield stream enters, West's woolen mill, formerly used as a sboddy mill, and at Chester there is the Hampden emory mills. From Middlefield switch the flood poured down towards Chester, where it did very serious dam- age. The waters swept over the barns, gardens and roads, and several houses were moved some distance. The heaviest loser at Chester is Dr. Hemans Lucas, whose loss is $10,000 by partially sweeping away his emory mili. The water went through the lower story of the mill, carrying off about $209 worth ofemory. It also did considerable damage to Dr. Lucas’ axe man- nfacturing business, carried on in an adjoining building, under the name of the Hannum Edge Tool company. The water power of this com- Bary, is entirely destroyed. Dr. Lucas’ arm of acres was badly damaged, as was also the large farm of Newton Cowles. Nearly of the valley residents in the vicinity of Ches- ter have suffered more or less damage. tofarms and gardens. Bradford Palmer's farin and Samuel (tis’ shoe shop were moved some distance, and Wm. Fay & Sons furnitare ware- house was badly tiooded out. The building was undermined aud turned partly around. High water continued at Chester for about an hour and had it continued much longer the damage would bave becn much more severe. The town of Chester suffers heavily in the loss of bridges and damage to roads. Four bridges were carried off. To replace these bridges will cost about ten thousand dollars, and seve ral thousand dollars will be required to repair the roads. The Boston and Alb railroad is very badly damaged fur a distance of nearly twenty miles. Every bridge between Middletield and Huntington is whoi tially destroyed.
