THE RIVER, last week, was too high for run
ming RATS, the water having surmounted the
banks in many places. On Friday it had fallen
a little, but on the evening of that day and du-
ring Saturday some rain fell which caused 1t
to rise higher than it has been for several
years. Much drift-wood fioated down. On
Monday the water commenced falling and con-
tinued doing so until Tuesday morning du-
ring which time it fell about 3 feet inches.
Notwithstanding the high stage of water,
few RATS were "pulled out'' for the fsIsland.' -
1t is rather unsafe to run now, but it is ex-
pected that in day or two the water will be
in good rafting condition.

THE WEATHER, during the past week was
pleasant, the sun shining with much warmth,
which had the effect Of melting away the great
er portion of the snow which had accumulated
in the woods during the winter to an unprece-
dented depth. On Friday evening and on Sat
urday, there were a rumber of warm showers.
Spring seems to have fairly set in, and in a
short time the husbandman, will be enabled to
commence farming operations.
