A comical fox hunt took place the oth CT morning on Water street. It appears that about o'clock 8. m. the good housewife of one of the Water-streeters heard a lum- pus among the chickens, and awaking htI lord and master and bidding him follow. struck bee-line in her shirt of (fe)male foI the benroost, which was in one end of th, barn, where big fox was about to decamp with Shanghai. On her approach Key nard dropped his prize and sought refuge in the barn through hole in the bottom of the door through which the poultry found iBgress and egress. Bjddy y's fist move was 10 block up the hole With piece of board, and by this time Michael was on hand, hay ing waited to dress and light his pipe, and he stationed BIddy at the hole with long stick while he went inside to ''shoo" the iox out. Biddy becoming impatient and a- most benumbcG with the cold in her scant apparel, moved the board slightly and peek in. At this instant Michael succeeded in ''shooing" his game from a corner where he had hidden, and who seeing the aperature. darted through it like lightning, upsettine Biddy, who howled in fright. thinking she had been ''kilt," and Michael hearing the commotion came out putting like 8 DOT poise, and in his eagerness to see what was the matter, hurriedIy opened the door and stumbled over Biddy, and both lay bowling on the ground, neither knowing what was the matter, and each bowling because the other did. The fox escaped.
 | -The freshet of yesterday was one the most vnluminous ever experienced in this region since Noah's adventure. The rivers ovelflowed their banks, fences were carried away, and roads greatly damaged. At the H R R bridge over the Blackberry river the water was within two feet of the top of the pier last night. On Elm street, between the two bridges, distance of over hun dred feet the water rushed with terrific force across the road, making travel alto' gether out of the question. At Norfolk there were two land slides on the c W R R and one at Pine Meadow, and Cummings passenger train, due here at 6.45 last night, got here at this morning, gangs of men being kept at work shoveling necessarily all night. The train from Bridgeport on the H R R was delayed about three hours cn account of bad washout at K"nt Fur mace. At one place near Cornwall the wa ter of the HousatoDic river was set back across the railroad for some distance. Tn, owl train from Pittsfield was number oi hours iate.
