by the late freshet except in roads and
bridges. Nearly every bridge OF any
size, and nearly every culyert. was swept
away, which left the town in very bad
condition They have been rebuilt, how

road was taken out from four To ten feet.

washed out; the damage is nearly FIVE

Mr.. Editor:-Permit the little town -,
Newry to add note to the general chorD.
of distress arising from every quarter
since the storm of Monday last. Bear and
Sunday rivers were swollen tn An unpre.

joining intervals with fearful violence
fields of corn and pumpkins wen, sailing
out TO sea, fences and hop poles followed
suit potatoes were washed ont and spread
broadcast over the adjoining lands and in
many places even the soil was washed and
quilted TO ruinous extent, individual
farms su ffering from the latter cause
damages estimated from three 10 five
hundred dollars each
The damage 10 our highways cannot as
vet be estimated Our loss in bridges /,
very severe. Bear river bridge atNewry
Corner was swept away, also Sunday
river bridge near Joel Fosters three
bridges on the east branch of Bear river
and many other small bridges and cul-
verts. The bridge over Big brook near
Rufus Stearn's was undermined and tippeI
into the stream, forming complete dam.
and forcing the brook TO cut tselfanothcr
channel through the adjoining field aud
across the road. IL will take considera-
bic sum to repair damage at this point.
The saw mill and tool shop OF Samuel
Eames and George Emery were swept
away with all their contents. The grist
mill near Poplar tavern shared the same
fate. 4 saw mill Mt the same point was
badly damaged. At Newry Corner the
shocmakers shop and post office occupied
BY ID. G.. York was removed without the
permission of the postal department, at
least the building itself went sailing down
to sea. The new and costly store and
dwelling house of Charles Harris at the
same place, came near like late mcki.
ly il escaped without material damage.
Old settlers are unanimous in declaring
this To be the most severe frcShct tha,
