Floods in Canada

MONTREAL, April 21. – There are heavy freshets prevailing throughout Lower Canada. Many villages are flooded, and there has been great destruction of property.

The locks and dams near Ottawa are in danger.

The Western trains have been interrupted for the last three days. The road is washing out near [Cornwall], but is expected to get right to-day.
