THE GREAT OVERFLOW.

The food in the Kennebec river in this
vicinity, with its attendant disasters, is
without an equal in all the freshets that
have gone before. The memorable flood
of 1882 sinks in comparison to common
affair The coolest inhabitant" can re-
peat no tale of wonders to match this,
either in the rise of the water or the dam
age which it has occasioned. The date
of "thc great freshet" must be advanced
to this time, and those who witnessed it
will be oracles on similar occasions in the
future. Men arose on Sunday morning
without any particular anxiety about the
freshet, attended church as usual, hut be-
fore the services were over whispers
passed around of great and sudden ris-
of the waters, and the benediction was
the signal for a general rush from the pews
to the river, where grand as well as de-
structive sight awaited them.
The occasion of this great overflow is
one which should not be forgotten by our
citizens interested upon the river without
efforts to prevent others of the same kind.
Had the river been clear of ice there would
have been no extraordinary freshet and no
damage. But with the ice below Hallow-
ell holding firm in its position, while the
ice on the river for many miles above
broke up, and coming down in large and
small masses formed a jam across the
head of the solid and unbrokcn ice, OBJ
structing the passage of the water, the
rise of the water in the rear of the jam
was inevitable, and to this is due the dam
age which ensued. 1t is said that such a
case never occurred before, and from this
it is reasoned that such never will take
place again. 1t is true, perhaps, that this
generation may never see the like again,
and yet it is not impossible that there may
be repetition next year. The wisest
course would be not to trust all to chance,
but make such provisions for security us
may be found feasible.
The practicable measure to be taken is
the construction of strong piers to hold
the ice above the Augusta dam, SO that it
shall not break up suddenly, but remain
in its position until the ice is broken up
below or become so weak rs not to be
dangerous. Such piers may be necessary
at several points between Augusta and
Skowhegan. If erected they would pre-
vent disasters Ike the present. Their

efficiency for such a purpose has been
proved on other streams, so that there is
no doubt as to the benefit they would &C
complish. The cost of constructing them
would be small sum in comparison with
the property destroyed, even by the pres
ent freshet, while the assurance of safety
which they would create would have a
visible favorable effect upon property SUBJ
iect to the ravages which we now witness.
