The Ravages of Flood.

LONDON, Nov Is. A portion of Nor
wick is inundated by freshet in the riv-
er Winsum and two of its most densely
populated districts are several feet under
water. The easements of all the facto-
,ries, warehouses, granaries and dwellings
along the river are flooded. One or two
deaths by drowning are reported. Four
or five miles of street are submerged.
From three to four thousand dwellings
are uninhabtable. Vast damage has
been done. The authorities are main
tanning the homeless poor. The flood is
in consequence of a fortnight's rain.

DIVERS Ar WORK The RockIand
Opinion says: Nj Charles G. Weber
Of Portland, and Mr.. \. Gordon of New
York, submarine divers, are at Tillson's
wharf with their sloop, Northern Light,
removing large blocks of granite that
were misplaced by the falling Of a portion
of one side of the wharf The water in
which they are at work is - feet deep at
high water, and they can work under it
about five hours at time One of them
occupies the suit during the forenoon, the
other in the afternoon. They say it is
very dangerous, some of the huge blocks of
granite hanging almost directly over their
heads. They expect to leave this city
about the first of next week, and all who
never saw divers work, should not fail to
visit the wharf and see the men who can
work as well under fifty feet of water as

Responsibility for Liquor Selling.

An important decision was last week
made by the Court of Appeals of the State
of New York, which is Of interest to the
people of Maine. suit was brought at
Middletown, in that State, in 1873, against
the landlord and tenant of liquor saloon,
for damages caused by the loss of a horse
which was driven to death by the plain

piled to him at the saloon. The plaintiff
obtained verdict in his favor, which was
confirmed at the General Term, and the
/ landlord carried the case, 81 far as he
\ was concerned, to the Court Of Appeals.
| The action was brought under the law of
1873, known as the Civil Damage law,
which makes the owner Or lessor Of prem

sold Jointly liable with the tenant for any

who has been supplied with liquor on

The Co,n,ntsstoner Dfst,.tcts.

How about the commissioner districts? It
would be o joke if the board of county COM
missioners were also legislated out of Office.
Anyway the commissioners receive all allu-
sions to the subject joke at present, and
await further developments. The commits
sioner districts in the city have been defined by
law SO as to include certain wards by name and
number without any regard to local or specific
boundaries. The third commissioner district
was defined as embracing tho eighth, ninth
and tenth wards, and as such wards
are legislated out Of existence
there seems to be no district
for Commissioner Jones to represent. Under
the new regime Commissioner Palmer also finds
himself resident of another district, mas
much az he does not now live in any of the
wards defined constituting his particular
territory. Commissioner Glenn is alone unaf
fected by the change in the city, and, together
with the the two members from the country, now
holds the only undisputed seat. Why should
the intention of the law be taken into consid-
Grafton when Commissioner Hedderly was GUST
ed from office for temporarily remov-
ing from his district with the
intention of returning. Perhaps this
matter is worth looking into and perhaps
it won't be necessary for Judge Young to de-
eide who is commissioner of district that by
the original definition of its bounds is wiped
out of existence. Why not legislate few
county officers out of Office we'll as all but
two of the city officials? Let's have new
deal all around, and make things lively!

HOW THE wRECKEB TAXES II.
Secretary Sherman is represented as being
quite moody over what he deems the hasty
action of the Senate. he fully expected
that Conkling would have embraced the OPP
portunity the veto afforded to have made =
speech in opposition to the bill, and that
other Senators would have given the message
respect enough at least to have forced some
little discussion upon it. The days action is
THE GOSSIP OF THE HOTELS
tonight. The prevailing sentiment seems
to be one of relief that the bill is passed.
Even enemies of the bill share this senti-
ment, because in view of assured legislation
to remonetize silver, there is unanimity of
opinion that it was better to have it settled
speedily.
SOMETHING TO COME.
Ultra silver men say that the present bill
is only foretaste of what the gold-bugs of
the East may expect, and that no efforts on
their part shall be relaxed until the silver
dollar is made equal with gold, without re-
striction or limitation, the resumption act
is repealed, and national bank circulation
wiped ont. Movements in this direction will
be begun at once. Tomorrow the Senate
finance committee will take action on the
resumption repeal bill, which has passed
the House, and it is hoped to report it to the
Senate next week, and have it disposed of
speedily. The bill to wipe out the national
bank cirulation will be reported to the House
as soon as the banking and currency COM
mittee is called, which will be within fort
night.
SOME OF THE INDIVIDUAL EXPRESSIONS
of members are ludicrous. Sam Cox says
the message has not even the merit of in
genuousness. General Ewing says it is no
objection at ALL and is illogical, and without
warrant of truth. Carter Harrison says it
has neither merit in composition nor argu-
ment Tucker, of Virginia, says it is a weak
State paper. Chittenden, of New York, one
of the gold-bugs, says: II am glad the
President SO forcibly defends the national
honor" Ben Butler says: IA bad argu-
ment in good case.'' He had hoped the
President would veto it-not for the grounds
he takes in the message, but because of the
restriction on free coinage of the silver dol
lar. might keep on and quote ad libituna,
but the expressions of sentiment herein set
forth, serve to show the general feeling of
members of the lower House. Summed up,
the Republican opponents of the bill are
disguised because the President did not
| handle the subject with more force, and the
Democrats, for like reason, are pleased be-
cause he could not combat the bill with more
cogent arguments; and it has been many
days since the majority of both branches OF
Congress, of both political schools, feel in
as happy frame of mind as they do to-
night.

To the Editor of The GLOBE.
SAuK RAPIDS, Mimi, March Cur planet
seems to be passing through some hitherto
untraversed reaches of space where wintry
elements are unknown. This supposition
may possibly be entertained as reasonably as
any other, to account for the mildness of
the winter months just terminated and for
the beginning of the first month of spring.
And it would seem, too, that this remarkable
and long continued condition of the weather
is not only observable in our State, but
throughout the whole of the northern half
of the continent.
conclusions have been reached, or even at
tempted to account for this phenomenon.
It is, possibly, beyond the scope of scien-
tific investigation and human intelligence.
However this may be, it is quite certain,
that no winter precisely like it, or very
nearly approximately to the character of
latitude in our continent, in the experience
there may be among the savage tribes, re-
speeding the question, would be curious to
know.
AT this point on the upper Mississippi,
the farmers are already specializing on the
propriety of sowing seed, and should their
be no decided change threatening cold and
refreshing of the soil, the sowing will
commence at an early day. After winter
80 snowless, and consequently, so dull, our
farmers are more impatient to commence
agricultural operations, and an early begin
ming is anticipated.
In the mean time, while our old globe
seems to be undergoing rejuvenescence, the
new GLOBE that has swung itself into the
horizon of Minnesota at St. Paul, blazes
with an effulgence of light and beauty,
which promises to exceed that of all lumi-
naries of its class, visible within the limits
of our good State and even beyond. 1t is,
indeed splendid addition to the newspaper
galaxy of our enterprising commonwealth,
and new glory in it's political astronomy!
As soon as it arose into the political heavens,
the glasses of all the Republican sanctums
of the State (and their name is legion
were anxiously turned upon it, and the re-
suit is generous and hearty hail from them
all to it's advent. For this evidence of the good
will and respect of our political adversaries
the hitherto long unchampioned Democracy
of the State can but join with the aler
editor of The GLOBE in thanking them fol
their commendatory notices of the new
luminary, with the hope that some of it.
scintillations may penetrate their dim abode'
of thought.
