season fell here yesterday. The fall was very
slight in this city, but back from the sea-shore
it was of more importance. A passenger over

inches in Bethel. Persons from Yarmouth and
Saccarappa report quite little storm.
A dispatch from Skowhegan says there was
fall Of an inch and half in that village and
vicinity.

fallen and it was still showing at that hour.
