The storm which visited this
place Saturday and Sunday was
general all over the United States.
In some sections great damage was
done by the foods. There were
several breaks IN the Mississippi
levee and the lower parts Of New
Orleans were submerged. In the
East slcet and ram fell, in the South
rain, while in Nebraska after
slccting awhile it turned into snow
ing and covered the ground TO the
depth of fifteen inches. There was
II flooding ram in California and
great damage done. It seems that
nowhere in the United States
was there ray of sunshine. 1t is
well enough for the ground hog
that he saw his shadow on the 2nd
inst. and went back in his hole, for
had he stayed out he would surely
have got wet.

WATER FAMINE AT ORANGE.

water famine has begun in Orange, n. j.. and
its vicinity, and serious appTchensOnS are felt by
the residents. The wells dried W, the clsterns
are empty and the running streams are low. Orange
has as yet regular system of water supply. but u
company was recently organized for this purpose, to
draw water either from Verona Lake, in the Orange
Mountains or from large wells 10 be sunk like one
at Garden City, l.. l., and operations will he begun
in the spring.
At present the people of Orange are purchasing
their drinking water from pedlas. Tho street
spriukers Of last summer are put to profitable usc
in drawing water from the river and streams. and
spectators have fitted up slcds with water casks
and ind many customers. Manufacturers pay ~
a load for water for their boilers unless tins
were done the factories would have to opera
tons. The frost is deep in the gcOund and there Is
no prospect that the water will penetrate the soil
until the spring opens he deeper wells that have
gone dry indicate that the after effect of last
mers drouth Is yet TO come. The rain III the fall
was absorbed near the surface.
The suffering has Just begun and only an eX-
ceptiOnally open and wet winter following the
January thaw will avert dsas, rOus water famine.
Farmers who famIlior with the soil and seasons
of this region feel great anxiety. Surface streams
are practically dry springs have disappeared IN
many places and many farmers drive their cattle
from five to TO ten miles to water. Cows do not
yield more than half the usual quantity OF milk.
In Orange five cents pail Is the price charged for
water All wells less than twenty feet deep are dry.
The water ~ brackish when obtained for use. Snow
il melted for washing and cleaning In case OF lire
the city wOuld he at the mercy OF the flames There
are nearly 80 ZOO people III the three Orange town
ships, and nearly S14,0O0,000 is invested IN real
