Flood Does Much Damage.

Rochester, N. Y., May B.—Reports of a terrible cloud burst were received last night from the southern part of Ontario county. The bed of the railroad from Middlesex to Naples is washed out most of the way. Fields have been furrowed and the small streams have been transformed into rivers. The freight house at Rushville, it is reported, has been struck by lightning and destroyed. Great damage has been done to telegraph wires and in many offices the wires have been burned out.
