Disastrous Flood in Massachusetts.

BosToN April ia tremendous food,
with disastrous results, occurred last evening
in the towns of Wrentham and Norfolk, about
twenty-five miles distant, by the breaking
away OF dam which Restraints the waters of
Whtin's pond, the source of Mill river. This
is d small river, not over twenty-five feet
broad nj low water, but running with Il
strong current, mostly through meadow land,
and empiying into Charles river, at Midway.
AT this time an immense body OF water was
confined in the pond by the dam, about one
hundred feet i'll length, at the Wreutham and
Franklin county road.
The sudden bursting of the pond through
this dam hurled Tremendous flood upon
lands below, sweeping away mills, bridges,
country roads and dams in its course, and
cuusng damage 10 the extent Of between
$lC0, 600 and $780, 900. A mile below this mill
was the saw aud grist mill of the Eliot Telling
Company, known as Fisher g mill. Such was
the force OF the waters on reaching here that
1t burst the lhirty-feet dam and carried away
the saw mill portion of the establishment as
though II was toy ship. On rushed the
waters e-fourihs of mile through low
lands 10 " here there were located wooden and
shoddy mills belonging to the Fellng Com
pany. Both ends Of the dam were washed
away, and below the mills large heap oi coal
deposited for use Vt the mills
Seventy rods further on the great dam n
Eliot Feltng Mills was met This, with the
road from The mills to Franklin Centre, be-
meath which the river runs, Offered a subslan-
iial resistance TO the rushing cnrrent. The
road, however, soon yielded, allowing the full
force of the water 10 strike against the long
dam. Meanwhile the inhabitants Of Franklin
and Wrenthgm rendered valuable assistance

ninety-seven persons in That city who have
celebrated their centennial birthdays One
Of these lived to the age Of IFS, and Two to
the ages of lib years. Seventy-four were

and the rest Of different nationalities. There
does not seem to be much in the lives of these
eentennarians on which TO base philosophy
of life. Some of them ate animal food, and
others confined themselves TO vegetable diet.
Many OF them used tobacco, and others drank
liqnor, while others touched neither. Nor
did matrimony or occupation affect the length
of their days. They simply lived out an al
loted time without any apparent reason why.
