From the Williamsport Journal of Saturday last.
Canal Break — Loss of Life.
A serious occurrence took place on Wednesday night last near Piper’s warehouse on the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal. A heavy thunder storm had passed over that portion of country during the evening, swelling the streams to such an extent as to do considerable damage, the culvert near the warehouse was washed out, leaving a breach in the Canal of so great magnitude that it will require several weeks before it can be repaired and navigation resumed.
