Those Of our townspeople who live on
Front street enjoy 4 more peaceful state of
mind now since the water in the river has
begun to reccdc. The ice made its first
move Oh Friday morning ut II o'clock, and
ut 6 pm. started again for general break
up. moving along quietly without any
damage whatever ard showing very little
on the shore. Considerable apprehension
was felt Oh Saturday, when the water be-
gan to rise rapidly, at onc time between
noon and ) o'clock having increased its
rate to about two feet an hour. 1t thea
decreased to one foot, then to five inches,
at this rate approaching standsti!l which
occurred at about O'Clock on Sunday. In
the meantime the weather changed con-
siderably; Saturday having been 4 fair and
mild day, changed in the evening to rain,
and this discontinuing, it began to blow up
cold, freezing the high water mark all
along the shore. On Sunday it was cold,
windy, and indicated snow all the day,
but the weather did not interfere with
alGerine operations, Il number of persons
having made good use their time in catch
ing logs large number Of which, boom
logs and some square timber, passed and
among the lot were two timber RATS or at
least supposed to be, as they were far
out in the river. 1t was very
fortunate that the weather changed as it
did, as tue immense amount of snow above
promised much greater height of water
than it reached. 1t is also fortunate that
there is left back sufficient water for
good rafting rise. which will doubtless
take place when the weather gets warmer.
Since the water made stand-still it has
been falling very slowly.
