Not only are crops in jeopardy, but in & great measure they are already completely drowned out. North of this city there are areas of many square miles which are one sheet of water. Several washouts are reported on the Big Four tracks between here and Goshen, fifty feet being missing in one place. A number of road bridges in the northern portion of the county are missing, and grave fears are entertained for the railroad bridges between Wabash and Elkhart. The Tippecanoe river is very high, several etreets in the western portion of this city being pmpletely inundated. It is feared that the Pennsylvania railway fcridge may again be carried away, as it is raining again. Should the dam in Rock run at Oswego break, a large area of country will be ruined. The large number of lakes, creeks and rivers in this vicinity render it particularly liable to suffer from floods.
