On "Wednesday night last, the La
mobile river, and the Gihon at johnson.
was the highest known for a great number
of years. Mr.. Riddles house was sur
rounded by water, md the water set back
from the Gihon in tic road so as to reacn
to near the Post Office. Considerable
alarm. was manifested at the actual state
of the case, and tbs alarm was not r,n-
dered less by report that the people at
Eden Mills were v,ry much afraid that
the Long Pond going TO burst its bar
riers. Many sat Up all night to watch,
and we are informed that several families
removed their goods from their houses to
places of greater faDcied security. From
all we can learn, tie apprehension Of the
people in johnson we're not i'll grounded.
There was. rca! danger that the Eden
Pond would break out and had such an
event transpired and that immense body
of water been suddenly precipltated upon
the valley, in addition to the great fresh
est already prevailing. the destructive
consequences which must have followed
hardly admit of eiaggeratiou. We are
happy that 50 great danger is past.

The freshet las week did considera-
BILE damage in the county, and had it con-
tined for few hours longer would have
undoubtedly been very destructive. So
far as we have been able to gather infor-
nation the damage done is about as fol-
lows: In Cambridge the bridge across the
creek near the Borough was carried of,
and small house of Mr.. IIull's near the
Center village. In johnson, the arch
bridge, two miles below the vile, on the
Cambridge road, fell in at one end, so
that it is impossible, and all travel down
the river will be obliged to 60 on the
north sue via Waterville for some time.
In Hyde Park, Campbel's mill-dam, and
the bridge across the brook below it were
carried away, and the Campbell mill es-
capped only by hairs breadth; and the
bridge across the brook below Mr.. Finne.
gans on the johnson road, was swept on.
The bridges across the Gihon at johnson
and North Hyde Park were saved by
great exertion. When the bridge at Cam
bridge Boro' went, several men, eight or
ten, were on it trying to chain it, and all
went with it; but as they had two boats
with them, they easily escaped, Cam
bridge was for two or three days second
Vepice--most travelling in the streets was
done in boats, We hear Of good many
small bridges being carried away in all
the towns around. but We have mentioned
the most considerable. The water was
the highest known for many years---some
say thirty years, others say fifty years.

The Rail Road.

We had hoped to be able to put on tht
long train this week, and report to oul
readers series Of brilliant and uninter
rupted successes for the railroad since last
week. But some rogues in johnson, COM
bining their forces with the foods, have
been putting distractions on the track, OF
at least trying to do SO.
But let US first tell you the good We
have, and then your hearts will have more
strength to bear,the bad.
On Wednesday, Thursday and Friday,
the towns of Hardwick, Greensboro and
Walden held their meetings respectively
in the order named to act upon the ques.
ton of changing the condition of theil
subscriptions, and voted almost unani.
mously to make the required changes
There were only five votes in those
three towns cast against the proposition
two in Hardwick AMI three in Greensboro
and in Walden none. Mr.. Brigham
attended all the NEE tings-reaching Hard
wick by great energy, and by overcoming
no little danger. He was obliged to leave
his team three or four miles below Hard
wick, and pick his way on foot, and
once was obliged TO wade stream where
the water was nearly to his arm pits. He
arrived at Hardwick in this forlorn con.
dition just as the meeting was about to
adjourn without action, and Immediately
proceeded to address the meeting, and the
result was as above stated. Thursday
Mr.. Hendee joined him at Hardwick and
they proceeded together to Greensboro
and Walden, where, as VIC have said, the
result was all that could be desired.
This narrowed the weeks campaign down
to the Saturdays meeting at johnson.
No apprehension was manifested by the
friends in this town, until the morning of
Saturday when the fact was developed
that the opposition bad been at work and
had got compact organization ,eith some
new and unexpected combinations. As
the friends had up to that time remained
in fancied security, there was but little
time to rally in the awful condition of the
roads in most parts of the town. Getting
Information that there was to be warm
contest, we promptly repaired to the scene
Of action.
We found the old opposers of the bond
ing plan very active, and in active co-op-
GRAFTON with them were few of the orig
inal friends Of bonding. 20

called for, Tut he wisely declined to speak
Heath had said all he could have said,
AMI probably with more effect.
But we mutt announce the catastrophe
The vote upon the adoption of the resou'
ton was taken and resulted in-yeas 80,
noes 101-l5 majority against its adop'
ton. Thus, for time, the road lie'
bleeding in the house c. its friends. A
little energetic work on the part of the
friends in johnson would obviously have
given different result. Probably the enc
is not yet.

Cady'wille, and there taking the straight
cut while he had to make the detour to
Norrisyille, it was reasonable to suppose
they would get out of his way, they hav-
ing brisk pair. But they were not 50
fortunate. He overhauled them ano
chased them furiously, as it proved at
the great risk of life and limb. The ROAD
was full of cohots, and the snow very
deep, and the horses became excited ana
one of them commenced kicking. So, for
more than mile they were plunged at q
break-neck speed, through the cOhots'
with an unmanageable horse kicking at
them in front, and Durkee seeming deter
mined to run on to them in the rear, be-
fore they could find a place to get out to
let him pass. There was no excuse OF
want of time; and the hostler at the
American-his friend-said significantly,
that he knew HAz" was going to chase
them. H
1t is not many days since he told per-
son who was riding on the box with him
that on recent trip he would have TIP
ped passenger ever, but for the fact
that he had lady aboard whom he did
not wish to injure. We confess that this
consideration for ladJ-sbown in this de-
claration is greater SAVIOR of virtue than
might have been expected. His passen-
ger, whom he declared he would tip over
with no slight sprinkling OF emphatic
words--was highway surveyor, who had
incurred Durkee's hatred. Now, by his
own declaration, Durkee was only deferred
from tipping him over, at the risk of life
and limb, by the guardian presence OF a
lady. Sometime the unwary highway sur
veyor may place himself at his y,when
no such guardian angel is present Let
him take this timely warning.
We have long chapters in store, but we
think we have said enough for CON-
mencement Certain that Messrs. Bruce
and Ladd mean to be obliging gentlemen
themselves, we cannot cease to wonder
why they still employ Durkee. But these
gentlemen must be supposed to know their
own best interests and to consult them in
his retention. For ourselves, however,
believing that our own and the public in
te .ests concur IN his removal, we shall
continue to urge it, and to present such
facts and arguments as we think ought to
effect such result, until he is either re-
moved, or meets with change Of heart
sufficient to be guarantee that all may
safely conide ID him to transact their bus
mess faithfully. safely and promptly, and
without any uniue inquisitiveness. 1t is
a matter in whih every business man in
the county has IN interest, and 1t can not
be looked upon az a matter Of private
concern.

SERIOUS ACcIpENT.-Mr. Alfred Jones,
of this town, met with serious accident
last week. William Wheeler, for whom
he was at work at the time, and himself
were splitting and piling wood. Jones
was STOPPING down, pulling up a stick, and
Wheeler gave him full blow of his axe,
accidentally, Of course, seycring the three
large fingers of his-right hand, the middle
ones at the third joint, and the dexter
finger a little below the joint. Only a
little flesh and the under skin remained.
Jones thinks he will have something of Il
hand left, but we should judge it must be
troublesome wound, and make bad
hand always.
