At seven o'clock it was fully sixinches higher than at twelve oclock last night, aud was touching, with its turbid waves, the tracks and founda- tions of the rairoad comp-ny's build- iogs.

At this time an extra force of men were put 0a to watch and work during the wight, and, with hoes, shovels and polee, they were stationed at intervals alor g the track botween the smelting works and the shope, to keep off stray sticks of timber, and throw up an em- bankment wherever the water threat- ened to clear the track. They strug- glod bravely against the floods, and at 9:30 had ruised the bank many ploces two feet above ths level of the rails Al at once a cry was beard from the mau stationed farthest up the track, that THE WATER WAS COMING, and almost before the alarm could be spread, the waves came sweeping aukle iog on him.
