To the Editor Of the Press:
The Keunebec has been greatly affected by
the recent rains. Monday night the high wa
ter carried away the large boom at Kendall's
Mills known as pae Farrar boom, with all the
supply of logs for II. mills at that place and
for Gen. Smiths new mill here. ONLY the
small booms of logs secured in the eddvs near
tho -a-vre were saved. 81 MIA
Line waters rose rapidly neany all dav Tues-
day. AT about halfpast eleven mo &c ~
piers Of the toll bridge at this place CAV, nov
and the whole structure, from shore to sbor,
was pried from It's piers and sunk into the tur.
bulent stream The middle portion of the
bridge was not secured till six miles below
here. The bridge was about 500 feet long
built about 1885, except the eastern end, which
was renewed dozen years ago. Tt was own
ed by stock company, and its shares are now
offered at 8 per cent and no takers.
The French settlement at the head of the
falls suffered general loss OF driftwood piled
on the shore, and several houses were only
kept In place by huge ropes and fastenings.
Inc torrent swept almost around the abut-
ment at the Winslow end of the railroad
bridge; luckily no damage was done, The
bridge over the Sebasticook was raised by the
waters flowing from the Kennebec up that
stream and only retained by stone drawn up
the bridge. Opportunity for measuring the
rise here gave the result 10 feet! The inter
wales UP the Sebasticook are afoat with corn
in the shock and pumpkins by the ton No
damage in this vicinity has been done to the
railroads, though below in Winslow and Vas

Fashions for October.

There have been few years in which there
has been greater variety of styles from which
to choose in outside garments, as well as in
costumes, and bonnets and hats. Dame FASH
ion seems to be saying to her votaries, my
children, use your taste this season and see
how becomingly you can attire yourselves. 1
set but few restrictions on you; for once YOU
shall please yourselves. You may wear hoops
or go without them, you may choose shawIs
or eloaks, you may be equally distingue with
bonnet or hat, and you may make them
so nearly alike as to puzzle novice as to
which il is that adorns your brain-house.
We quote from Madame Demorest: @Suits
are more fashionable than eyer-they are fast
becoming national costume. There Is a
universal recognition of the excellence and
adaptability Of such dress for outdoor wear,
and the strong hold IL is taking will, we hope
and trust, render II a permanent institution.
The new suits for fall and winter wear are
very handsome, and extremely well adapted
to the thicker materials now in vogue.
Velvet is largely used on all sorts of fabrics,
and will probably be the most popular trim
ming of the season. rII Ctasa. 4
Capos are still worn with suits, but they are
ronnd, and often made double and triple, with
plain or vandyked edges. Very few are loop

EusE0r o. u1e I'ress.
Maine has been particularly unfortunate in
its numbering operations the present season.
The Cuban trouble has very much reduced
the demand for shook and sugar boxes, affect
ing very materially the numbering operations
in York county. Early in the season the
water in this vicinity was so high as to prevent
saving on the river, soon after drouth COM
menced and large number of mills have run
but small portion of the time ~.
THE yREsHKr.
Now the freshet has swept away ia some
parts Of the State the large supply Of logs re-
naming at the mills-the main dependence
for the fall and winter saving. At Kendall
mills nearly every log has gone down the river
and probably to ssa. Somerset mills, three
miles above is in the same condition and all
the logs in the river above Waterville, when
last head from were on their way 10 Seguin.
The drive above Skowhegan has been very
clear and the prospect of good fall and winter
saving has been swept away. The loss on the
Kennebec in the vicinity of waterville will
exceed 100000. Gen. f. Smith is a heavy
loser.
The toll bridge at Wateryille was owned in
stock-a portion of it was carried away about
twelve years ago, and the break commenced
in the old portion on the west side and carried
the new part with it. The cost of the bridge
was about &c., 600, but such bridge as is re-
CURED there will cost about $40, 900, which I'M
doubtedly WIN be erected by the town as a
free bridge. -. ..1..Ht ..s-sli r4l
The destruction of property on the Piscata-
qus quite large. The roads are rendered
impossible, houses submerged and crops car
ried away. There has been no great loss on
the Penobscot river so far as heard from. The
loss in this State by the freshet of Monday
from present indications will be greater than
was ever experienced in this State from the
same cause. c.
