After a spell of dry weather we had last week occasional showers, which to the turnip crop is beneficial. We have now had the Lammas spate. Beginning on Sunday afternoon, there was a continuous pour of rain, which lasted 26 hours. Both the Cree and Penkilp were in high flood. These rivers over-flowed their banks to a great extent, and a deal of damage has been done to crops in the adjoining fields. In many places the water was over the public roads several feet deep, people requiring to pass on foot had to make a detour through fields. At Cumloden a deal of turf on the pleasure grounds was torn up; the gardener's house, the garden and green houses were flooded. The old stone bridge, adjoining the Cumloden Woollen Mill, has been greatly damaged. The water filled the arches, and the heavy force carried away a considerable portion of the centre buttress from the foundation, and the bridge, as it is, is in a dangerous state. At the Saw Mill the water reached the engine, and it was some hours before the mill could be set agoing. Although still raining, Penkiln at mid-day on Monday had fallen 10 feet from its extreme height. Again in the evening, for the second time, it rose, flooding the places as before. Heavy showers have since fallen.
