COUNTRY NOTES
Dumfries, Sept. 28. During Sunday, Monday, and
Tuesday last, there was an uncommon fall of rain,
accompanied with very high wind, in the neighbourhood. The
devastation, in consequence of the swelling of the different
rivers and rivulets, is incalculable: great quantities of
grain have been carried away, embankments destroyed, &c.
... ... The great flood on the 15th and 16th of November,
1807, was truly awful, both in the neighbourhood of
Carlisle, and in this district; but we have had nothing of
this sort to be compared with the present, since Feb. 1780.
