THE BURSTING OF THB WRIST HARTFORD
REsERvoIR.-The damage to property by
the bursting of the reservoir at West
Hartford, Conn.,, last Friday morning,
was very great, and it is really provi-
dental that no lives were lost by the
terrible freshet which ensued. The loss
to the city of Hartford is stated to be
100000. The dam carried away was
55 feet high from the bed Of the brook.
and 200 feet wide. 1t contained some
10000 yards Of earth, and was built a
year ago at a cost of $4,000. 1t has
not been considered safe, was never prop
erly built, and was failure from the
start, always leaking and always weak.
The reservoir bed, 80 acres in extent, is
now dry. 1t held 200,000000 gallons.
The upper reservoir, two miles above,
with partly finished dam seven feet high.
was also swept away. This reservoir
covers 20 acres. The deluge of water is
thus described

upper reservoir, which sweeping away
the partly finished dam above, rushed
into the lower lake, pushed with such
force against the big dam, that at the
hour named it burst away with 3 tre-
menduous crash, letting down into the
valley below huge wave of water. This
wave, two or three hundred feet wide
and deeper than the height OF some of
the surrounding trees, came thun-
dering down with force that bore ev-
erything before 1t. Huge trees were up.
rooted and borne down like feathers ,
great iron pipes, large enough for man
to crawl through, and very heavy, were
carried on the current like sticks and
when the food struck the Stanley saw
mill it tore that structure away like 8
rush, and carried the rocks of the dam
with it. At Moses Griswold's house, on
the main or Pennington road, the view
of the on.coming wave, looking up the
valley, was uninterrupted, and the In
mates believed it would sweep away
their house. They say 1t was vast
tumbling, boiling wave, the crest rolling
over and over and over, bearing trees,
mills and everything before it, and the
whole lifted high in the air-a solid wall
of water. 1t swept round the little hill
on which the house stands without
reaching the house."
A great many farms on the line of the
torrent were completely submerged,
their standing crops destroyed, and their
pasture fields covered with sand and
dirt. The list Of individual losses foots

SUIcIDE.-L. B. S. Clark, an old resi-
dent of St. Adams, committed suicide
on Sunday, by cutting his throat. He
went out from his house about 6 p. m,
and as appears from the traces Of blood,
leaning over grit running through Il
hog-pen, he inflicted three gashes upon
his throat, one of them half severing the
windpipe. Growing faint from the loss
Of blood, it is supposed he sat down
near by and was there found by his wife
who had become alarmed at his absence,
with his weapon Of self destruction, a
jack-knife, and his cane in his hands.
He was living when found, and though
every means known to medical skill was
resorted to to save his life, it was with
out avail, as he died on the following
day at one p. m.
