TOCUMWAD RAILWAY DAMAGED.
- EMBANKMENT BROKEN AWAY.
TOCUA1WAL, Tuesday.
'J'hp river is now 10 feet 7 inches above
summer level. The bursting of the levec.
on tho Victorian side relieved tho pressure
here, and, with men working nil night, the
water was prevented from breaking into
the township. The wm-1- however, will
probably prove fulile, us the Barooga em
bankment has completely given lyity, and
a stream several clniius wide is now across
the , Corowa-roud. It will be in the town
ship to-night.'
At Yellow Water Holes, 3 miles east
of Toeumwal,; there is iilre'ady 4 inches of
water over the dyejeing 0,,1)10 .bpidgfe,,,jt ,
is probable tbut tlie "cbiicb will not be able
to go to Cfebram to-morrow. If so, To
eumwal -will be completely shut off from
Victoria. The embanked road between
here, anil . th$ levee on the Yarroweyah-
ron'd has been washed away -in several
places, and the railway' line is completely
washed away for 2 miles. Mr. G. F. Sug-
den, of Wobdsomc Lees, who is one of
the oldest residents in the district, states
that" lie has .never seen the liver anything
like so high as at present. His liniisje is
now surrounded, which has iievpr. occurred
before, even in tho 1870 flood. .
