thunder showers of the season on Monday
afternoon last. The rain came In perfect
torrents. The water in one of our small
streams, which runs through lands owned
by DR.. Cram and d. f. Mcintyre, swelle(
up very suddenly and came rushing dow
with such force that it took lengths o.
picket fence, stone walls and everything il
its course, completely flooding portion o
our village. Some garden spots that hat
| Just been planted were covered with sane
to the depth of eighteen inches or more
The highways were also badly washed
some to the depth of three or four feet aut
several rods in length. The bridges wer,
either swept away or so badly damaged
that the abutments will in many instance
have to be rebuilt. Our Oldest citizens say
that there has been.no such shower befor
within their remembrance as the one which

lily of Seneca Root, esq. His daughte
Ellen is now sick with them. There is bu
little chance for measles to spread here, a

The weather is simply splendid. TIL
pasture fields and meadows are looking
their best, and stock is luxuriating in ricl
and bountiful heritage. The promise 0
abundant grass is good. 1t is too early t
speak of grain crops and fruit. Some o
our farmers have been renewing their or
chards by planting young trees. Frul
trees do well here when they are taken car
of, and pay well. If few trees ar
planted every year and, good, strong
high fence made around the orchard, an,
cattle, sheep and horses kept out of 1t, III
fruit will soon be the best paying produl
of the farm. Why don't farmers plan
fruit trees to break the wind from thei
houses in this windy country }.
