A Glacier In Maine.

A correspondent OF the Lewiston Journal
says:
Among the noteworthy incidents of the tbaw.
OF the 10th and 18th was the occurrence of Quite
young flood in Dixmont village, caused in this
way:-The heavy rain on Friday morning in
addition to that of the preceding day and NIGHT.
caused rush of water down the mountain an 4
being checked and held back by the snow that
gathered before it, on a comparatively level
tract of land above the village, there accumn-
lated a heavy volume of water which, adyanc-
ed slowly until it gained the more inclined
ground, where, bursting its barriers down it
came with a rush, across lots, sweeping away
fences, pouring seething torrent in the street
at the upper part of the village. For an ac-
count OF its further progress we take the fol-
lowing description of an eye witness:
81 was crossing the street near the center of
the village when, on hearing a rushing noise
like that of a heavy wind up street, and look
ing that way saw the entire width of the street
filled with water approaching with the speed of
. race horse covered with floating logs, fence
rails and debris, and about four feet deep, judy
inc by the perpendicular wall of snow and
slush which it carried before it.
By the time had fairly comprehended what
was coming, it occurred to me that this was not

courage began to rise as saw that the water

some seconds without rising high enough to
hoat the cover off, SO knew it had done its
best
Passing the store the torrent rushed ON with
incredible force and sped down the hill, plow
ing up the street and ditches moving rocks
hundreds of pounds in weight, sweeping away
fences, etc., until it reached the brook at the
foot of the hill, in which it passed away with
out any further disturbance. 1t was wonder
that there was no more damage done to persons
or property for had any one been overtaken in
the street, by the flood, their chances of escape
without injury would have been small. Logs

ran swiftly by with the stream Mr.. Piper was
the only one in the village who suffered any
material loss. The damage to goods in his store
and the adjoining building occupied by him in
the manufacture of clothing, amounted to some
$20or $25. In the latter building, in which
were Mr.. Piper and brother, and a lady i'll his
employ things were knocked about promis-
cuously, by the water bursting open the doors

MORE than year ago, an article was pnb-
llshed in Scribner's magazine proving that
Lucretla Borgia instead ofbelng asynonym for
all thas Is monstrous in feminine wickedness
as lot TWO or three centuries she has had the
reputation, was really one of the most dis
'inSo'shed women of her times for her noble
ness Oh character, and that all the state
menus made to the contrary were the fictions
Oh her enemies who happened to be hstori-
ans: Nevertheless our contemporaries speak
OF Mrs. Sherman, the murderess of husbands
and children, as the Connecticut Borgia,
and Mrs. Wharton of Baltimore as the "Bcr.
gla In High Life" If Lucretia has been
siandered and was no such woman as sbe
mas been reported to be, it isn't quite fair to
continue to link her name with lnfamy and
hand it down to the future.
