Such a flood has not been knoWh in that - section of the city since June, 1867;- . when some of the parties attending a wedd'oig supper at the Erambert house, s on Ninl. street, the evening after! the heavy rain had fallen during tbe ' afternoon, were compelled' to use' batteaux ; for thai purpose.'' During Sunday, a great many , persons visited the scene of the flood , and congratulated the inmates of ihe various houses (from a dis tance) oh the encouraging a fact that, they had hot been swept finally away and lost forever in the "waste of Waters. We were glad to see that they were in fine: spirits, Ynd though for the time being, cut bff from communication 'in a great meaagre with the outside world, they were confident of ' Ultimate acid complete - restoration to their friends. - n!h .'.M I LlSbtBlng' Freak.- -- ': jS'iDurins' the ' severe! storm! oh Saturday. n)gbvla8t lightning struck a dwelling house oa, Csstie,, ..between , Eighth and !
