On Fri'iay morninjj last the dam at Rlakely and Ijoyd's niillpond uave w.iy, prc- cipitatiig a ma.ss of water down the course and doing a large amount; of daai.ign. The water piled u\) agdnat the bridge on Sydenham St, until it waa over tif leen feel deep and ran ov.T the road. Then the bridge (javo way, allowing t ho enorniuns flood uf waters aid debri* to rush i'lto the woollen mill pond, tho dam of which idio gave waj befnio th.i ter'itic im.sl'iunht of waters, and then the combined Hood inahed down the valley to Loucks' mill where it spread over tha flats and ittforee was cheeked. In the village no damage was d"iie u( any account to the mills themselves, though they wore flooded on ilie lower floors and ai tho woollen mill Mr. Nuhtt had a slight damakie to stock. DevHbtation followed the course nt raging waters, ami the handsoino ltovo of oe<Ws above the hndg" was liodily uprooted luid piled ii^uiisiijhily brush heaps. Laige pieces of mii.soiuy wciijhiiu probably two tons were earned fifty yards below the bridge by tho terrific force of loosened waters.

No satisfactory reason is given fm' the eatastroplio other than that tho dam had gradually weakened and the recent (haw hail crrtateil extra pruRSuro sufficient to make it give way. D.-.mane 'o the two d.ains and bridge will not fall shore of ?L',000, ; the loss in business aud traffic inconvuukucd will also be very cuisiderablo. While Mr. Loucks' mill was somewhat choked with debiia, it has been cleared awav and the mill is running as usual, lie lost two hives of bees in the dood. The boys of the village found a tino harvest of suckefs and perch strewn along tho I'anks .after the flood had subsidetl. A temporary hriduo has been built for the winter, as it is impoMible to orccl a permanent structure in the winter.
