Reaumur) without giving any previous notice ; and from the q lantity of the ground being clayey, with a moderate ascent from the river, appears quite un accountable. Os Idler church dwelling house and bridge, which stood on the spot not a vestage is now to be seen—the ruins are ei ther buried or dispersed. You may form some idea of the force with which this mass of earth fell, when 1 tell you, that a con siderable portion of it was thiewn several hundred yd3 distant from the river on the opposite bank, where it destroyed two houses with some cf the unfortunate in habitants. The owner of Tiller Farm perished by returning to the house to look after one of his children. It is not yet ascertain ed how many lives are lost; eigh teen are known to have been bu ried or drowned, and 40 horses besides cows, he Avery fine la’, cf 17, who was to ha? e worked ii I GUI* work,lost his life. One mast saved himself in a remarkable manner ; he was the foremost of *4 or IS peasants, who were re turning heme to Selbec, from bringing the timber for buildings ‘-attached to onr work, and was so near the spot, that he heard the owner of Tiller cry for help— he immediately resolved to retrace his steps; the other poor wretches endeavored to reach the shore through a deep snow, and per i;hed with their horses ; most of them had two. The man who saved himself had a very good horse, and by keeping himself full speed he es caped on shore by btore Foss, the river jnttsuing him close with the rapidity of lightning—his lee lings may be better conceived th. an described during this remark ab ! e race. Onr work has luckily escaped uninjured, although threatened with ruin. V. Krough has otherwise suffered considera biy, yet mostiv at Store Foss, wh-re a Hour mill has quite disap p ared, the saw mills almost de stroyed, and dams carried away to the amount of 2000/. A sum mer house, which stood between Great and Little Foss, a short dis tance from the river, Was carrieu in an upwright position, as it stood on the shore, with two b ats chained to it, and in that maimer precipitated down Little Foss. It is impossible for me to ‘'describe the singular appearance ‘all this had, and still has—the Fiord is discolored with muddy ;'water to a great extent, And will ‘ probably continue so for months We are willing to think the dan- 1 ger is now over, though this is* • uncertain, until the stream cuts! itself a nroner passage. j ‘valuable property!
