public on that day. There viii be firing of
cannon, ringing of bells, grand professions,
O~rations, toasts, responses, music, fireworks
and a glorious time generally.
Il is estimated that at least two thous-
and sheep persisted, in this county, from ex-
posure to the late severe storm. The number
is estimated greatly beyond this, by SOM
persons. Flocks that had just been shorn

Mr.. A. L VanGOrder placed us under
obligations by leaving on our table a few
days since a basket of the incest strawber-
RES of the season. Mr.. VanGorder Guilt
Yates the strawberry quite extensively, at
his place, South of town, and finds a ready
market fer the delicious fruit, the only fault
being that the supply does not prove equal
10 the demand.
Mr.. James L. Wadsworth, of Windham 4,
sent US on Monday, two boxes of the largest
strawberries we have seen this season.
They are extraordinarily large and of ex-
quisite flavor. Mr.. W. has established an
agency in this place for the sale of his ber-
ries, at the grocery store of Messrs. Freer &

The fall of rain on last Saturday even
ing and night was exceedingly heavy
Many residences were found not waterproof,
and the rain being driven by a violent wind
penetrated from cellar to garnet, doing in some
instances much damage to carpets, furniture,
&c. The Mahoning river commenced rising
Sunday morning, and in the evening of that
day the water had risen over the lower banks,
and spread over the bottom lands, sweeping
off fences, trees and Rameless quantities of
drift-wood. The flats on the west side, be-
tween the river and Quinby hill, and also
south of town, were submerged several feet,
and the residents in the locality of Gorton
& Cos. spoke factory, were all cut off from
the main land by torrents of water that
swept all around them. The damage must
have been considerable, but at this writing,
(Monday) we can not learn the probable ex-
tent. We learn that the country roads, by
the distraction of bridges and sluiee ways
are generally in bad condition.

One of our citizens has left with US a
specimen of a hens egg that is quite the
opposite extreme from the large ones re-
Gently noticed. 1t is 17-16 by II inches.
In view of the fact that eggs sell at the
rate of two cents a piece in this market,
such smallness is truly hsn-ious.
