North Main street for distance of third of mile is completely gutted 10 the depth of six feet, and the dirt with the debris was deposited at the foot of the street and on Centre Square. Cellars were flooded and the streets in the northern and western parts Of the city were so badly washed that in many places they are impossible for teams. All the highway bridges in Waterville and vi- entity were carried away, including two stone bridges. Two dams gave way and the knife shop at Waterville will have to suspend for a month. The dam of the Hotchkiss paper mill in Wolcottville was swept away, and the bridges also. Five of the principal bridges in Woodbury are gone and the damage to the roads is great.

Dean of the Falls Village Savings Bsnk h ol,o oF for finE cts for the South Berkshire excursion, which is planned for Sept. 3rd, and if other agents along the Housatonic have done us we'll the excursion win be success. It ought 10 be. The route proposed Is one entirely new 10 our people and one full of interest in its every mile.

  Call on MT. Dean or send d postal card to him and have your name registered on the ticket list immediately. It is expected that arrangements will be made with the Boston & Albany railroad by which the excursion train will be switched on to that road at Pittsfeld and the passengers go through from Falls Village to the steamers wharf at Hudson, and return home without change of cars. MT. Feeling of Pittsfeld, we'll known caterer, will have charge of the din ing room and refreshment tables and fur nsh meals or lunch at reasonable prices. The Lee Cornet Band and the Mozart Quar- tette Club of Barrington will supply the music and the "Nupha" will be in the fin est holiday trim for the sail to Newburg and West Point. Everybody will be re- turned home on the night of the 3rd, after their day of sightseeing and amusement, so there will be no hotel bills to pay and poor lodgings to endure.
