ON Der head, cutting severe gash by The
side Of her nose and hrnising the side o.
her hesd Hopes are entertained that her
Injuries are not dangerous. She was
taken home a. soon as size could be con.
yenientiy and her wounds were dressed
BY DR. l.. 5 Arnold, Mr. Flint was
dragged about a rod by the horse but for
tnnaiely escaped without any injury.
The snow storm of the 9th, which
turned to rain the next day, did consider
able damage here. Tue stage road to
Chester was badly washed in some places,
aud one bridge WAS carried off so that
our Wednesday mail did not get through
Until Thursday noon. The force OF the
water was so great that It burst the iume
Of the saw and grist mill OF This place
aud washed ont the underpining OF the
east end Of the nil which contains the
grlst mill machinery, the weight of which
was so great that II broke through, pre-
cipitating half of the building and the ma.
chinery including three runs OF stone into
the river. When The water had gone
down the debris was found scattered
most Of the way TO the south village. The
mill was old and considerably rotten but
was being repaired, aud the grist mill had
been placed in good running order, doing
good business Our private opinion is
that the old mill had got tired OF waiting
for the narrow gauge railroad and had
started down to meet Il.
