In West Brattleboro the loss to indi-

damage was confined to crops, fences and
the washing away of the soil along the
valley.

suffered severe losses Mr.. 5. H. Edwards
had the hume and bulkhead of q children s
carriage shop carried off at damage of
about 5000. The paper mill of Putnam
81 Stoddard, with all its contents were
swept away. They had just made repairs
to the amount of from $1,000 to $4,000
and the entire loss is estimated at
ten thousand dollars. The dwelling
house of Mr.. Stoddard, in which the
Post Office was kept was swept away, and
also the blacksmith shop of ]. NJ. Stafford
Every bridge on Green River is carried
off.
In Newfane and Townshead, great
damage is done to the crops of corn and
other vegetables, and the land is badly
gulled in some places and covered with
sand in others.
We have given a description of much
of the damage done in Windsor County,
said, we have 10 note the destruction of
much property at Felchville and the loss
OF life near that place.
As Mr. Andrew A. Amsden was cross
ing a bridge near the Blood place, it was
washed away and he wac carried down
to rise no more. Two buildings were des-
troyed outright at Felchyille, and two
others were moved out of their places and
badly damaged. Further down the stream
toward Windsor, the cider mill, rake fac
tory, corn barn and good stock of grain
in it, belonging to Mr.. Sanders, were all
carried down the stream.
In Chester, in addition to the private
losses before enumerated, We will men
ton the loss OF Mr. Gowing, who had his
dwelling swept away before he had time
to take out the furniture. The house
broke loose from the shed and swan down
into the highway where it lodged, but r.uI
till most of the furniture in the lower
room, had been washed out.
la Proctorsviile he water did consider
able damage in filling cellars, washing
out the streets, gardens, etc, and by the
washing away of the south bank Of Black
river, between the highway and railroad
bridges, the new barn and shed of James
Maloney were washed away, and his
house threatened with destruction, but
fortunately it escaped.
Ia Ludlow, much damage was done,a
new two story dwelling house belong
ing to Mr.. Cram was swept away and en-
tirely demolished. A long chapter of
hair-breadth escapes Of persons could be
given, but refrain from giving more
details of the flood at this time.
