The Freshet

BOSTON, April 22.

Advices from the interior report that the freshet has reached its height, and the waters are now receding. Railroad travel is assuming regularity.


HARTFORD, Ct., April 22.

The river is rapidly falling, after having reached a height lacking only 14 inches of the great flood of 1854. Trains are now running regularly through to Springfield.
