From time mmenorisl, no one will pretend
to deny the fact that kisses have Geen held in

The Storm.

One of the heaviest nin-ialls of the
season passed on Monday night From
dark until morning there was no cessation
and during the night heavy thunder
storm occurred. Several of the cellcrs of
the stores and houses in town here were
flooded, A portion of the Pomeroy Rail
road was washed out; the water was some
two or three feet deep in kiamensi wool
en- mill, and the streams were grcutley
swollen. In the morning Snow began
falling and for while heavy squall
passed. Towards noon the clouds broke
away and the sun frightened things up,
when night settled down regular bliz-
zard from the north was sweeping along
the wind high and freezing
Around about Wilmington the storm
caused much damage The Brandywinc
creek was very high and swift in al its
course. The middle span and iron work
of the bridge on the b. Il. p Railroad

The loss is heavy. The span had not
been placed in its permanent position

Lent is approaching, and II large part

its members bounden in the duty. Yet
