Last Saturday the people •residitg along
the Western Branch- of the Susquehanna
Byer wore visited by thebtrom and . do-1
Tastations done of the gravest floods
that has oecurred since the memorable
freshet 0f1846.,; A gentleman direct from
Williamspott informs us that the Aver
commenced thing at that place on Friday
night and continued to Increase with
frightful velocity during Saturday, until
senous apprehensions of &general inunda
tion began to he entertained. At lock
Haven the water rose with astonishing
rapidity,,and deluged parts of the' town',
with such celerity that the inmates of some
dwellings were obliged to fly for personal
safety, without - stopping to save their
moveables. The streets of the town ,yes-.
terday morning *ere represented as. be
in three , feet tinder water. Other villages
along the river were more. or less inns =
dated. In some of the houses the "water
was up to the second story, and most ,of
them near the ceiling in, the first, A
great many light buildings were carried
away„ together with ha,y-staels • and
fences.
The most fierious leffect of the - God,
however, is the destmetion of the booms
at Williamsport ands . Look Haven, and
the escape ot'logs rained in the aggregate
at abOut a million of dollars ! We un
derstand that the booms first began to

about four o'clock Saturday afternoon,
and six-hours afterwards there was not a
vestige of them remaining, their. site be

of logs, the product of many a podr-man's
months of weary toil, and upon -which de
pended perhaps the support of hiniselfand
family through the rigors of the long and
dreary winter whose approach even now
is heralded to.us in every breath of air
that stirs the atmosphere. •
The,floating logs reached this city about
ten minutes before 12 o'clock" yesterday
morning and presented a scene. of the
most thrilling description. The wind
'came with considerable force front the
west which had the effect to drift most, of
them to the channel east of Forster's
island, and. for the first two\ or three
hours, so profuse was their number, that
they appeared to cover almost the entire
surface , of the water between 'the Island
and the shore. This effect was the same
almost as far as the eye cduld penetrate
up and down the river--r-nothing but logs
packed close together, as it they eomposed
one immense- moVing• raft. Towards two
o'clock they were moye scattered, and.
small boats began to make their appear

these, however, did hot seem to pay
